DNC Releases 'Expanded National Voter Protection Effort' Plan�


If the DNC can't handle this threat to Democracy, we will!

Do you hear us?

You really should.

The BRAD BLOG : DNC Releases 'Expanded National Voter Protection Effort' Plan�:

DNC Releases 'Expanded National Voter Protection Effort' Plan:

Sets Up 'Voter Protection Hotline', Calls for Paper 'Trails' and Lawyers in 15 'Key States'

But We're Gonna Need Much More Than That....

Blogged by Brad on the long, hot road:

The DNC Media Office released information on their planned 'Expanded National Voter Protection Effort' today. I'll avoid my knee-jerk reaction to say 'Expanded' from what?! Their full media release is posted below.

As I've got to get in the car and head up to St. Paul for a PBS TV show taping (Mental Engineering) over the weekend, I don't have much time to comment on the strategy and release for now. As you may guess, I have some feelings on both. You'll simply have to guess at those feelings for now. Suffice to say, we need more than paper 'trails' and attorneys on Election Day.' I applaud the tireless efforts of Greg Moore, heading up the DNC Voting Rights Institute. He 'gets it' , but the rest of the DNC still seems to be burying their head in the sand about the seriousness of the problem.

To that end, and by way of example, we could also use their help in dealing with issues like the Busby/Bilbray U.S. House special election in CA50 now if they are serious about protecting the ballot box in November everwhere! (An essay I posted some weeks ago describing how what happens now in CA50 affects the vote everywhere this November is right here: 'A Line in the Sand')

The full release from the DNC as issued within the past hour follows:
