TPM Muckraker has a story about Griffin saying he will not go through the Senate Confirmation process but will stay on until Bush appoints somebody else. I would imagine that will be in, oh I don't know, 2 years.

DIRECTLY involved in VOTER SUPPRESSION of service members in Florida in 2004.
_______
The British Broadcasting Corporation unearthed e-mail messages Griffin sent from the RNC in 2004 containing spreadsheet information on thousands of Florida voters. The spreadsheets were titled “caging,” which, according to the BBC, alludes to a voter suppression tactic.
Griffin's caging scheme was a particularly noxious. It seems that it was aimed directly at black sericemembers. According to Greg Palast of Democracy Now! the RNC mailed voters letters in envelopes marked, “Do not forward”, to be returned to the sender. These letters were mailed to servicemen and women, some stationed overseas, to their US home addresses. The letters then returned to the Bush-Cheney campaign as "undeliverable." The party could then challenge the voters' registration and thereby prevent their absentee ballot being counted.
