Rachel Maddow covers NH voter fraud

by: susanthe

Wed May 18, 2011 at 23:21:27 PM EDT
Rachel Maddow took a look at the GOP voter fraud scare - and mentioned what happened yesterday in NH with the "pending legislation" signs in New Boston. Here's a link to the clip:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26...

After the show she tweeted:

maddow Rachel Maddow MSNBC
Credit to Blue Hampshire@bh  for the illegal "must show photo ID" sign we showed tonight at NH polling place:

That's right - she mentioned and linked to BH. You'll have to take my word for it, but she linked to Harrell Kirstein's blog yesterday about the incident in New Boston. I just couldn't make her link work with our software, and I finally got too irritated by it and gave up.

But anyhow - Rachel Maddow tweeted about BH! w00t!

I find this part from the UL to be the place to zero in on: (0.00 / 0)
Assistant Secretary of State Anthony Stevens said that the briefing at regional clerks meetings would not have led anyone to print a sign demanding ID cards.

"I'm not quite sure how someone would get that impression from the presentation."

...Baudreau was not available for comment Tuesday. Nyquist said she returned from the seminar saying "it was suggested to have a rehearsal" for the new law.

Anthony Stevens is above reproach IMHO (0.00 / 0)
Bow's Stevens is cleaner than a hound's tooth. Our sons played on a State Champion LAX team together, and we've stood on the sidelines many times. He loves NH, and won't ever talk about anything going on at work no mater how I tried to get him to spill the beans. He bends over backwards to keep himself from inserting his own opinions and works hard to do more with less.He has assiduously worked with Bill Gardner to maintain a fair and open voting system, regularly studying best practices around the country, favored keeping the paper trail ballot system. I have looked into his eyes, he is a very good man.

note to close readers: this might be sarcastic so think twice before reading to candidates for use in their attacks on each other

Would anyone with admin privileges care to estimate how many extra hits the site got from Maddow's mention?

Laura had a front page diary on this, and I had my first recommended diary yesterday as well, although it is gone now from the Recommended list.
Steve Benen from Washington Monthly's political animal told me he hoped to cover it today, I sent him the picture and info on the voter suppression effort.
