Previously undisclosed documents detail how Republican operatives, with the knowledge of several White House officials, engaged in an illegal, racially-motivated effort to suppress tens of thousands of votes during the 2004 presidential campaign in a state where George W. Bush was trailing his Democratic challenger, Senator John Kerry.
The documents also contain details describing how Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign officials, and at least one individual who worked for White House political adviser Karl Rove, planned to stop minorities residing in Cuyahoga County from voting on election day.
The efforts to purge voters from registration rolls was spearheaded by Tim Griffin, a former Republican National Committee opposition researcher. Griffin recently resigned from his post as interim US attorney for Little Rock Arkansas. His predecessor, Bud Cummins, was forced out to make way for Griffin.

THOSE CROOKED BASTARDS!!! Denieing American Citizens their birth rights!!!
For the first time in my life I am watching a renegade vice president and president run rough-shod over the people of this country without any intention of
listening to the people they were voted in to serve. They are ignoring the high court subpoenas?? It is beyond lies and anti-American behavior to do this; it is criminal. This is the heighth of what large money can do; the worst kind of greed cloaked in religous rhetoric. How sad. I used to be a Republican.
