Dean Backpeddles on "GOP Vote Fraud" Charge

This guy is priceless:

"It's been widely reported over the past several years that Republicans do target African-Americans for voter suppression. It's very clear here while there was no massive voter fraud, and I concur with the conclusion — it's also clear that there was massive voter suppression," Dean said.

But one scholar involved in the study quickly backed away from that notion.

"Where the partisan bias came from, where it went, we really have no basis for making any assertion about that and I don't believe the report makes any statements about that," said Cornell University professor of government Walter Mebane Jr.

Dean was forced to come back later and amend his statement.

"While we certainly couldn't draw a proven conclusion that this was willful, it certainly has the appearance of impropriety," Dean said.
