<\/a>It’s been a while since the slimy cretins trying to pass themselves off as the “non-partisan” American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR) have reared their ugly, high-level GOP-operative heads. We first uncovered these punks back in March while they were busy attempting to pull off a congressional charade<\/a> in cahoots with the not-yet-indicted<\/a> U.S. congressman, Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH). We haven’t heard much out of the ACVR since their August ’05 report trying to sell the silly notion that “Democrat operatives were far more involved than Republican in voter intimidation and suppression in 2004” was laughed off the nation’s radar (by all but a few of the most pathetic dead-ender wingnut suckers<\/a> who will believe anything they’re told to believe, no matter how laughable.)<\/p>\n

But today, our friend Bob Fitrakis at the Free Press<\/i> in Columbus connects a few more dots<\/a> in the shameful ACVR\/GOP\/Ohio story. He offers a few more details on the group’s direct connection to other high-level GOP operatives (like Bill Frist’s attorney), the horrendous Ohio HB3 “Election Reform” legislation being ram-rodded up the asses of otherwise democracy-loving Ohio citizens by the unapologetically corrupt GOP-controlled snakepit of a legislature in the state, as well as more of the direct connections between them and the frivolous lawsuits and PR attacks made against several of the most active (legitimate) Voter Registration groups in the country.<\/p>\n

We had a quick story ourselves<\/a> on that last bit about two weeks ago, explaining how virtually all the phony legal attacks made against these groups have now failed — even if the swiftboating success of the phony PR from it lingers on. Mission accomplished. This is the group whose website<\/a> — the one with Fox “News” Channel’s Tony Snow on the front page, speaking of dead-ender wingnut suckers — promises “ACVR will defend the election process through on-going civil litigation” amongst other lies, garbage and scurrilous attempted deceptions on the American electorate. Anyway, before we get too worked up into another rant on the America\/democracy-hating ACVR chumbuckets, here’s Fitrakis’ latest<\/a> on them and more.<\/p>\n
