Betraying The Oath Of Office - Con't

Wouldn't you think that if the president was concerned about the oath of office he took to protect the constitution that he would do something about this. Or at least say something about it, preferably condemn it.

This from the Bushes against Bush web site (http://bushesagainstbush.com/mt/archives/000050.php)

Gordon Sasser in Tallahassee, Florida, got an automated phone call saying that he could cast his vote via phone by using the phone pad. The intent, of course, was to make him think he voted when he hadn't.

James Scruggs, also from Tallahassee, had a women call him and say that she would pick up his absentee ballot to "ensure it's safe delivery". The intend, of course, was to determine who he was voting for, and not deliver the vote if it wasn't for the "right" candidate.

Another elderly women was registering her husband for an absentee ballot. She did this because the night before someone called to take her voter registration information. Problem of course is that election officials don't make those kind of calls, so she would have thought she was registered, but she was not.

Isn't someone supposed to be protecting and preserving the Constitution? Isn't part of that Constitution the right to vote and to have those votes counted? Isn't that an important part of the democratic process?
