Democrats Demand Answers in Wake of Greene County Voter Suppression Controversy; Big Questions Remain About the Actions of Republican Sheriff and Prosecutor

Acting without a single shred of evidence, Sheriff Gene Fischer and Prosecutor Stephen Haller, a former law partner of McCain campaign chairman Mike DeWine, sought the un-redacted voting records of every Greene County voter who registered and cast a ballot between September 30 and October 6 -- including driver's license numbers and Social Security numbers.
