Did someone forget to tell me this was Dem moonbat weekend?
Race-based voter suppression -- exposed!
Powerline blog
The humorless and now contemptible Al Franken peddles one of the stupid Democratic lies concerning the last election in his column today (linked below) when he refers to "the [Republican] race-based voter suppression of yesteryear — by which I mean last year..."
The real news of the last election is the vote fraud and election misconduct that continues to come to light among Franken's Democratic allies. These stories not only demonstrate that Franken has the story upside down, but also explain why the race-card comes in so handy for Franken and his ilk. Today's Toledo Blade, for example, reports a story out of Defiance, Ohio: "Man pleads guilty to filing bogus voter registrations."
The Blade reports:
<<<
Two months after pleading not guilty to faking voter registration forms in exchange for crack cocaine, a Defiance man has pleaded guilty to 10 counts of false registration.
Chad Staton, 22, of Stratton Street appeared in Defiance County Common Pleas Court Thursday to enter pleas to the 10 counts of the fifth-degree felony. In December, a grand jury returned indictments against him for filing forms in the names of Mary Poppins, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jordan, Dick Tracy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Brett Favre, George Foreman, Maria Lopez, and George Lopez.
Each offense could result in a fine of $2,500 and/or imprisonment for up to 12 months. Mr. Staton's court-appointed attorney, Tiffany Reighter Beckman, was unavailable for comment yesterday. Mr. Staton could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Staton, who grew up in Toledo, filled out the 10 forms, plus more than 90 others, in late September. His actions became public in October, weeks before the hotly contested presidential election. They made national headlines and drew international media attention.
But in a bizarre twist, the woman to whom he gave the forms, Georgianne Pitts, 41, of Toledo, died in early December. The Lucas County coroner's office ruled her cause of death as an accidental overdose of a prescription medication.
Mr. Staton will be sentenced at 1 p.m. April 13.

But perhaps this story substantiates Franken's defamtory fantasy after all. The deceased Ms. Pitts was working as a volunteer for the NAACP National Voter Fund (click here).

Is this what Franken is referring to as the race-based voter suppression of yesteryear -- the Rebublican conspiracy to keep Mary Poppins, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jordan, Dick Tracy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Brett Favre, George Foreman, Maria Lopez, and George Lopez from the polls in Defiance?
