Reply #13: Get yer Tim Griffin "caging FL" e-mails here.

[seafan]

Yep, this is the same Tim Griffin that the Bush administration inserted as a US Attorney in Arkansas, after firing the existing US Attorney there.

I expect this is why Mr. Griffin suddenly got cold feet and withdrew his name from serving in this position further.



Here is the BBC story from October 26, 2004, describing this illegal voter caging in Florida:

New Florida vote scandal feared

26 October, 2004


A secret document obtained from inside Bush campaign headquarters in Florida suggests a plan - possibly in violation of US law - to disrupt voting in the state's African-American voting districts, a BBC Newsnight investigation reveals.

Two e-mails, prepared for the executive director of the Bush campaign in Florida and the campaign's national research director in Washington DC, contain a 15-page so-called "caging list".

It lists 1,886 names and addresses of voters in predominantly black and traditionally Democrat areas of Jacksonville, Florida.

An elections supervisor in Tallahassee, when shown the list, told Newsnight: "The only possible reason why they would keep such a thing is to challenge voters on election day."

Ion Sancho, a Democrat, noted that Florida law allows political party operatives inside polling stations to stop voters from obtaining a ballot.

According to one of the e-mails in the link below, dated August 26, 2004, the "National Research Director" named in the BBC piece above is, none other than:

Tim Griffin
Research Director and
Deputy Communications Director
Republican National Committee
310 First Street, S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20003



It's time to send in the federal marshals for this entire administration.
