GOP Paying Legal Bills of Campaign Official Who Conspired To Keep Democrats From Voting: "The Republican Party has repeatedly and pointedly disavowed any tactics aimed at keeping citizens from voting since allegations of voter suppression surfaced during the Florida recount in 2000 that tipped the presidential race to Bush.
Interestingly, while denying any conspiracy to keep possible Democrat voters from casting their ballots in both Ohio and Florida, a top New Hampshire Party official and a GOP consultant have pleaded guilty in conspiring with James Tobin, the president’s 2004 campaign chairman for New England, to interferre with the Democratic campaign. Apparently Tobin called the GOP consultant to get a telephone firm to help in a scheme to tie up the phone lines in New Hampshire to prevent Democrat campaigners from calling voters to encourage them to get out and vote on Election Day 2002. At the time Tobin was the RNC’s New England Regional Director."
