Like, duh!!

Raise your hands if you're surprised at reports that Karl Rove has close ties to Nathan Sproul - no one raised their hands??  Small wonder.  Mr. Sproul - who has been officially tarred with voter registration tampering - was hired by seven battleground states to help register votes. Among his companies' dirty tricks - changing the addresses of existing Democratic voters on registration forms so the validity of their registration might be challenged on Election Day.   Yet, affiliated companies are apparently still contracted with the GOP in no less than 30 states.

Per Salon.com, Karl Rove could be considered the father of the voter suppression movement that's engulfed GOP-dominated legislatures nationwide.  Bush's Brain learned long ago that charges of voter fraud are potent weapons in fighting for greater & greater voter suppression - that, incidentally, benefits the GOP.  

Karl Rove, working feverishly to swing the deal for the GOP, having close ties to a shady voter registration guy like Sproul??  Like - DUH!

Here's an interesting nugget - In Ohio (a battleground state if there ever was one!), the GOP Secretary of State, Jon Husted (veteran of the 2004 campaign with Rove), seems to be mounting a major push to limit voter turnout. "In addition to issuing a directive that forbids boards of elections from notifying voters about mistakes in absentee ballots. Ultimately, such decisions may well play a key role in determining the outcome of the election."
