VOTER FRAUD & JUSTICE FIRINGS PROBES REVEAL DISAPPEARING PRESSURE GROUP, THE ACVR

[rumpel]

TIES BETWEEN USUBSTANTIATED VOTER-FRAUD ALLEGATIONS, 'THOR' HEARNE, ACVR, FEC & GOP SUGGEST CAMPAIGN TO SWAY 2004 ELECTION
23 August 2007

The American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR) was supposed to be a non-partisan NGO pushing for government action to combat what it alleged was a widespread problem with ballot fraud across the United States. When investigations revealed it was founded and operated by Republican campaign operatives, and that its allegations were largely fabricated, the organization literally disappeared from public view. And now it is increasingly difficult to find documents it published or links to information about its founders online.

ACVR has been directly linked to at least two of the Justice Dept. firings under investigation in the Congress. The group's founder, Mark Hearne —also known as 'Thor'—, or someone close to him, has apparently been busy erasing references to the group from sites that bear his name, or vice-versa. Wikipedia no longer has a page devoted to him, and his name automatically brings up the page dedicated to the now defunct American Center for Voting Rights, possibly a response to manipulation of the history relating to his association with the group.

The National Journal has reported that Hearne founded the ACVR in 2005 at the urging of Karl Rove, George W. Bush's chief political advisor until earlier this month. There are also ties between Hearne, the ACVR and the Free Enterprise Coalition, a lobbying organization representing business interests, with ties to the Republican party, which has, mysteriously, begun to disappear from view.

5. Any organization using the phrase "voter fraud"...

...instead of "election theft" should be suspect. That's a subtle trick designed to divert attention away from the real problem (the machines, which make election theft easy and undetectable) and onto the voters themselves.

8. It happens every election - I really really mean to vote Democratic

Ticket but then I think about gay marriage and all those same sex love buddies twisting and turning in the night, and then no matter how inane the Republican running, I just can't help but pull the lever for George W or Dole, or George the Elder.

NOT!!

But it is a good cover story.
