The Fix Already in For 2008?

The Republicans are just fixing elections right out in the open these days. The latest will pretty much take care of Ohio and Florida for the Repubs. Governor Arnold's "ballot initiative" in California should take care of the Republicans in that state. The Democrats? I think if Bush and the minority Republicans in Congress told them to vote against having 2008 elections, Reid and Pelosi and the gang would fall all over themselves to comply. That's how much I think of the spineless Democrats. Right now they're helping the Repubs put a Republican operative on the FEC(Federal Election Commission). You know, the agency that actually oversees "elections". Oh well, this is from Political Wire:
-

"Ohio and Florida, which provided the decisive electoral votes for President Bush's two razor-thin national election triumphs, have enacted laws that election experts say will help Republicans impede voting by Democratic-leaning minorities in 2008," McClatchy reports.

The new Ohio law aimed at reducing voter fraud allows for "caging" -- "used in the past to target poor minorities in heavily Democratic precincts, entails sending mass mailings to certain voters and then using the undelivered letters to compile lists of voters for eligibility challenges." While Republican groups paid for caging efforts in the past, the new law makes the government pay for it. In Florida, the new law "stripped the state's 10.5 million registered voters of the right to contest challenges at the polls. Now a challenger need only swear to a "good faith belief" that a voter is ineligible to force the voter to file a provisional ballot."

Update: Apparently the steal California campaign has died for now.
