Um, you have it backwards Jeff. Gore mounted all of the legal challenges. In absence of those challenges (by Gore), Bush won the presidency.

Well, whatever you do, don't read anything written by Greg Palast.

BBC Television had exposed 2004 voter attack scheme by appointee Griffin, a Rove aide.
Black soldiers and the homeless targeted.
by Greg Palast

There’s only one thing worse than sacking an honest prosecutor. That’s replacing an honest prosecutor with a criminal.

There was one big hoohah in Washington yesterday as House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers pulled down the pants on George Bush’s firing of US Attorneys to expose a scheme to punish prosecutors who wouldn’t bend to political pressure.

But the Committee missed a big one: Timothy Griffin, Karl Rove’s assistant, the President’s pick as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Griffin, according to BBC Television, was the hidden hand behind a scheme to wipe out the voting rights of 70,000 citizens prior to the 2004 election.

Key voters on Griffin’s hit list: Black soldiers and homeless men and women. Nice guy, eh? Naughty or nice, however, is not the issue. Targeting voters where race is a factor is a felony crime under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

In October 2004, our investigations team at BBC Newsnight received a series of astonishing emails from Mr. Griffin, then Research Director for the Republican National Committee. He didn’t mean to send them to us. They were highly confidential memos meant only for RNC honchos.

However, Griffin made a wee mistake. Instead of sending the emails — potential evidence of a crime — to email addresses ending with the domain name “@GeorgeWBush.com” he sent them to “@GeorgeWBush.ORG.” A website run by prankster John Wooden who owns “GeorgeWBush.org.” When Wooden got the treasure trove of Rove-ian ravings, he sent them to us.

--------------------

Palast has made an extensive examination of the 2000 vote and has followed the people responsible, expecially Rove to the point that Rove's aids were celebrating in email that 'no US media have picked up the investigations of “that British reporter Greg Palast” found in... Armed Madhouse.'

In light of the recent disclosure of illegal domestic wiretapping/eavesdropping under the shadowy auspices of the Patriot Act, it's a little ironic the RNC's email is also being scrutinized for possible illegal activities. Maybe some empty cells in Gitmo need to be occupied.

A little irony each day is good for the system.

Nice cut and paste. Post an original thought. Yeah, Dem or Rep, I love seeing political dirt. I hope they all get caught with their private parts in a meat grinder. And I'm sort of a Republican.

Hang the SOB for treason!

In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavour.
