Paltalk News - GOP Voter Supression Campaign Cha

Investigative reporter and blogger Brad Friedman who probes election fraud allegations is charging that Republicans across the nation are engaged in a campaign to suppress votes in Democratic enclaves.

Friedman, during an appearance on News Talk Online on Paltalk.com, alleged that the Democrats are engaged under attack but are oblivious to the fact that they are under siege and are not doing much to stop the tactics.

The author of Brad Blog says Republicans are trying to preclude, for example, college students, from voting by making it difficult for them to prove their residency. One tactic is to demand that the young voters, who trend toward supporting Democrat Barack Obama, show they are receiving utility bills at their claimed residences. Impossible, of course, when living in a dorm.

Friedman, who says he is a non-partisan, is involved in or supports several organizations designed to reveal attempts to suppress voting. Among them Save Voting, Standing For Voters and Poll Workers For Democracy.

He says, that in general, the nation's voting system is, "in worse shape than in 2000." He points to problems with touch screen voting systems - even those that include paper trails - that don't assure that votes are properly counted.

Even paper ballots, which many tout as a solution to election fraud problems, are not necessarily dependable, he charges, especially those that are counted by electronic optical scan systems that can, he says, be manipulated.
