that the RNC was pursuing actively since before the 2000 election, and why did the DNC not set course to COUNTER these tactics they learned about during the civil rights commission's election hearings?

The NYT editorial today says vote suppression is the cornerstone of the GOP strategy - but we knew that in 2001. Vote suppression, purged voter rolls, challenges, and after 2002, they must have heard about rigged voting machines and some one must have said, Ignore the issue.


Is there an inside scoop or back story to why the GOP was allowed to get away with INCREASING their vote suppression efforts throughout the 4years Terry McAuliffe was in charge?

From DU thread by DeepModemMom:

NYT editorial: Cornerstone of GOP election strategy is voter suppression

Editorial
Keep Away the Vote
Published: September 21, 2006

One of the cornerstones of the Republican Party’s strategy for winning elections these days is voter suppression, intentionally putting up barriers between eligible voters and the ballot box. The House of Representatives took a shameful step in this direction yesterday, voting largely along party lines for onerous new voter ID requirements. Laws of this kind are unconstitutional, as an array of courts have already held, and profoundly undemocratic. The Senate should not go along with this cynical, un-American electoral strategy.
