FOX News, a big supporter of the Republicans who engaged in massive electoral fraud and voter suppression efforts, now wants stories about people like illegal immigrants committing voter fraud. As they give an e-mail address to send stories to (mailto:voterfraud@foxnews. com ) I suggest that readers instead send them stories about Republican electoral fraud. and voter suppression efforts. I recommend including the stories in the body of the e-mail, rather than just giving a link. Be sure to use a Hotmail or other disposable e-mail address, as they will surely spam you.--DC] http://tinyurl. com/3vcbo7 Fox wants 'voter fraud' stories from viewers 05/28/2008 @ 10:49 am Filed by David Edwards and Muriel Kane "Could illegal immigrants sway an election?' Eric Shawn of Fox News asked on Wednesday, raising the terrifying specter of "people who are not even citizens voting for whomever they want." Advertisement Since 2005, the Bush administration has been pushing the idea that "voter fraud" is a widespread problem, even firing US Attorneys who did not make the investigation of claims of fraud a priority. However, investigations have never found more than a handful of votes being cast illegally, while requiring proof of citizenship seems likely to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters, mostly the poor and elderly who may not be able to secure required documentation. Fox News has now set out to find the evidence of fraud that the Bush Department of Justice could not, whipping up their audience with the threat of non-citizens "getting a fake ID, a driver's license, or a social security card and voting in this year's election." "If you think there's voter fraud where you live, or there are other election problems, we at Fox News want to know about it," Shawn told viewers. "You can email us. ... mailto:voterfraud@foxnews. com ." Shawn's proposed remedy is "legislation that would prevent illegals and other ineligible voters from going into the voting booth," although he acknowledged sadly that "even if states do act, it may be too late for the upcoming presidential election." -- Dan Clore My collected fiction: _The Unspeakable and Others_ http://tinyurl. com/2gcoqt Lord Weÿrdgliffe & Necronomicon Page: http://tinyurl. com/292yz9 News & Views for Anarchists & Activists: http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/smygo __._,_.___ Recent Activity 1 New Members Visit Your Group Yahoo!
