Robocalls and Vote Caging Committee

[malaise]

on CSPan 1 now - from yesterday. DiFi chairing

1. While I have little confidence in DiFi

the vote caging scandal could bring the whole RNC down.

You see, they were caught doing it a couple of decades ago. There was a stink, a trial, and a quiet settlement in which the RNC signed an agreement never to engage in it again.

What started as a political party has degenerated into an interstate racketeering organization and the vote caging is one part they can prove.

RICO, anyone?

2. ty n/t

4. Senator Whitehouse's bill is perfect

I worked w/the Brennan Center - they sent me the CD w/Florida's files. It's a bi-partisan winner of a proposal. No more categorical sweeps ... he gets it!

5. He knows the law n/t

[Fredda Weinberg]

6. The problem was the law ... the bill is needed n/t

[malaise]

7. I should have worded that differently n/t

[Fredda Weinberg]

8. Sorry ... it was a fine performance. He had an aide w/him and was

able to respond when challenged. Bennett wasn't happy w/penalties for poll watchers, but what could he say? Whitehouse was able to cite precedent.

Well worth waiting through the nonsense on robocalls ... heck, that's protected speech.
