The nonpartisan American Center for Voting Rights Legislative Fund, which says it neither supports nor endorses any political party or candidate, reveals that Democrats are as guilty as Republicans when it comes to vote fraud, intimidation and suppression during the 2004 presidential election. A new report by the group finds that although Democrats accused Republicans of voter abuse during the last election, "neither party has a clean record on the issue." In fact, the report states that "paid" Democratic operatives were far more involved in voter intimidation and suppression activities than their Republican counterparts, drawing attention to operatives in Milwaukee, Wis., who were accused of slashing tires on Republican get-out-the-vote vans. The group this week delivered letters to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, urging both party leaders to formally adopt a zero-tolerance policy against fraud and intimidation. "It should be easy to vote but tough to cheat," said Mark F. "Thor" Hearne, the group's counsel.
