In 5 Years, Scant Evidence of Voter Fraud “Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews. Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of last year.” (NY Times)Democrats Heating Up Prosecutor Probe “Senate Democrats are getting tougher on the Bush administration by approving more subpoenas for documents and testimony by officials connected to the firings of eight federal prosecutors over the winter. Approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday would permit Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., to sign subpoenas compelling the Bush administration to surrender hundreds of new documents and force two officials — Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella and White House political aide Scott Jennings — to reveal their roles in the firings.” (Associated Press)
