Gonzales Hired Griffin: Caging One Million Voters


BBC Newsnight has a good follow up story from Greg Palast In Washington. Mr Gonzales, Attorney General is in trouble for hiring Mr Griffin who was prime mover in the "caging" of one million voters across USA in 2004. This was unlawfully removing them from electoral registers for e.g. having names that sounded a bit like the names of felons, had a couple of the same letters, sounded a bit black etc etc.

It's now said that Gonzales was aware of the history. And it is now feared that Griffin will be at it again in 2008.

Seattle PI has a little more here.
