to challenge voters on election day in Michigan.
The bastids...we always knew they were guilty and I guess the Dems and Obama's campaign had the goods on 'em.
Well, they've surrendered to the Democratic Party and to Michigan.

GOP admits plan to use foreclosure list to challenge voters
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Monday October 20, 2008
In a startling concession, the Republican Party has admitted to participating in an illegal scheme to use foreclosure lists to challenge predominantly Democratic voters in Michigan on Election Day.
An announcement by the Michigan Democratic Party of the settlement of a suit brought last month by the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign states, "The settlement acknowledges the existence of an illegal scheme by the Republicans to use mortgage foreclosure lists to deny foreclosure victims their right to vote. This settlement has the force of law behind it and ensures that Republicans cannot disenfranchise families facing foreclosure."
Reporter Eartha Jane Melzer from the Michigan Messenger stuck to her story, had her notes and would not back down. What a terrific star witness she would have made.
The details of the settlement are not mentioned other than making the liars admit what they were up to but I sure hope the Dems can count on some more cash for the coffers. BWAAHAHAHAHAHA.

Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer on the settlement:
Today's settlement protects the voting rights of all Michigan citizens and guarantees that Republicans cannot use foreclosure lists to deny or challenge anyone's right to vote. It is no surprise the Republicans back pedaled when their illegal scheme was revealed, and their surrender today ensures that Republicans cannot take advantage of the economic crisis to deny anyone's voting rights. The agreement is a win for Michigan families ready to vote for change, and we will continue to aggressively protect everyone's right to vote.
I hope the MSM, who is beginning to sprout little cojones, will do some real follow up on just who is guilty of voter fraud, disenfranchisement, voter caging, illegally purging voters within 90 days of an election, and on and on and on.
I love Obama's organization. They have learned from past mistakes in a big, big way and they deserve our sincere admiration.
ANOTHER ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS!
