Betraying The Oath Of Office - Con't

Another news blast from Milwaukee where the mayor had asked for more ballots to be printed, expecting heavy turn out. However, the number the county agreed to print IS LESS THAN the number prepaired for the 2000 and 2002 elections. But the Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker refused. Walker is a state co-chairman of President Bush's campaign. ("Milwaukee Extra Ballot Request Rejected", Guardian, Oct 13, 2004). If Bush was serious about upholding his oath of office he would be more concerned about fair voting than winning at any cost.

In Oregon and Nevada Voters Outreach of America is being investigated for collecting voter registrations, and throwing forms for Democrats in the trash. The FBI is gathering information on the cases. "Most disturbing is that Voter Outreach of America is being paid by the National Republican Party and we ask how can people have faith in government if a national party is involved in trickery in depriving people the right to vote," said Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates. In addition, Voter Outreach of America operated using a different name, "America Votes" in Oregon. America Votes is actually the name of a Democratic organization. (KLASTV.COM, Channel 8 Eyewitness News, Las Vegas 10/13/04). Apparently, this is the strategy of Nathan Sproul, who used to be head of the Arizona Republican Party. He's also a former high-ranking official in the Christian Coalition. He is targeting all the battleground states. Again, where is the president in ensuring that fair voting is taking place? Will he win at the expense of one of the very foundations of democracy?
