NH Phone Jamming Leads to White House?
When will the Oversight Hearings Begin

Many of us came into election day 2002 confident Democrats would certainly hold if not expand their majority in the Senate. One of the key Senate races was New Hampshire, where a highly popular Democratic Governor -- Jeannie Shaheen -- was running for an open Senate seat in an increasingly Democratic state. One of the shocking losses that evening was Shaheen's loss to then Rep. Sununu.

Later we learned that a prime contributor to Shaheen's upset loss was that their get out the vote operations - the lifeblood of any election day operation -- were effectively stymied by a sophisticated phone jamming operations. Years later legal prosecutions followed, the RNC paid for millions of dollars in legal fees -- apparently out of the goodness of their hearts. We also learned of numerous calls from NH Republican operatives responsible for the illegal jamming to, surprise, surprise, the White House on election day. Finally yesterday, we learned one of the defendants has told us that yes indeed, the instructions to do the jamming came on high from the White House. See the NH Union Leader Article. (http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Phone-jamming+trial+may+draw+link+to+GOP&articleId=1f4ea6ad-3e62-4164-84d0-a34963ff7dd4)

So we have a case of outright election fraud, that goes to the heart of our electoral integrity and effected the control of the Senate, and now we learned the fraud may go directly to the White House or the RNC. If this fact pattern was evident during the Clinton Administration, we would be having multiple congressional hearings and investigations going on. Under the GOP Majority? We have a resounding zero, no oversight, no congressional investigation. I'm glad DOJ is doing their job, albeit slowly, but Democracy demands more accountability than this.
