By Ian Millhiser on Nov 5, 2012 at 9:00 am

Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ)

According to a report by Phoenix, Arizona’s NBC affiliate, Rep. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) U.S. Senate campaign called Democratic voters telling them to vote in the wrong precinct — in some cases as much as 11 miles away from their actual polling place. After telling the Democratic voters to vote in the wrong place, the calls also encourage the voter to “vote Flake for U.S. Senate.” Watch the report:

1. There is no way to sugarcoat it - these fuckers are EVIL! They don't even TRY to win fair and square

[RepublicansRZombies]

6. they are disgusting excuses for Americans

and they complain about immigrants? I think we should deport their asses.

[oldbanjo]

17. I will second that.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

10. Arizona here!

[Bluzmann57]

2. Question

Can that guy be charged with a crime for doing that? I'm serious, I don't know the answer. If so, I'd say throw the book at him and whoever else may be responsible. If not, there should be laws against that sort of thing.

[RepublicansRZombies]

13. Of course! This has to be a crime. They want to keep Guantanamo open..fine...

This is who should be there. These are the real traitors trying to ruin our democracy 'take our freedom'

All of the assholes being caught tampering with our elections, including whoever is running things in Florida and Ohio
(who has the names please?- we should put out flyers with their names and faces to shame them)

After ten years they can have their freedom, anywhere but the US, take their passports, no Social Security or medicare....

I am serious. This is unacceptable. What. the FUCK!

They wasted our treasury, really the MIC looted our treasury...'spreading democracy' to Afghanistan and Iraq who already have better voting systems than US....they blamed their spending spree on Obama....and now they brazenly attempt to steal our election. We should be mad as hell.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

14. Flake will just blame it on an "honest clerical error" or the company that put

together the call for his campaign. Crooks will try to lie their way out of a crime when they know their caught.

[socialindependocrat]

15. At the least he should be yanked from the election-

But I agree, there should be criminal charges.

This crap is out of control!

Talk about a mockery of the system.

There need to be some strict rules before in the next two years.

[mac56]

3. They can't win a fair fight. And they know it.

[hrmjustin]

4. They should be playing this up all day today in AZ and national news.

These people are criminal.

[SoapBox]

5. This should be a high crime.

ANY sort of activity, that restricts or deceives or...voters...should be one of the worst crimes in America.

[RepublicansRZombies]

8. Of course it is a crime! We need to demand prosecutions for all this BS

What the fuck with the 6 hour lines for early voting?

Obviously someone is doing this on purpose and they need to be held accountable.

WE need to demand they are held accountable!!

[CarmanK]

7. IN MD, we prosecuted REPUKE operatives who did this to MD D voters in 2010.

Everyone of these conspicuous violations of VOTING RIGHTS must be prosecuted. People have to start going to jail for these obstructions and lies. It is a RIGHT of citizenship to VOTE and these ppl who interfere with that right are TRAITORS. They do with money what others do with bullets, torture .

[nobodyspecial]

9. These people belong in JAIL!

I don't care which side does it. You don't screw with the election process.

[SpankMe]

11. Holder and the DOJ won't go after this...

...because whenever they investigate Republican law-breaking, the Repubs slam it as "...a political witch hunt..." and immediately begin retaliating. And the DOJ trembles in fear and self-supress the proper investigating because they don't want to look "liberal" and partisan. Funny thing is - when they're in power, Republicans go after Democrats anyway, without the same concerns.

DOJ really needs to go after this and not worry about how the right wing will explode. Subpoena telco records, find out where the calls originated, find out who owns that phone or the computer at the originating end of the line, and prosecute.

They go through more effort to find deadbeat dads and teen sexters. Voting rights are a big deal. They need to go after it, now.

Scumbag Republicans. Spineless DOJ.

[AgingAmerican]

16. Sadly true

Republicans do this stuff with impunity

[olddad56]

12. A republican candidate named Flake.. somehow this fits.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. Does anyone know how Carmona is doing?

[Nika]

19. Time for the Repug party to fade away and a replacement to be formed

They have lost the thread of competency and adherence to democratic principles that define who we are as a people and as a nation.

[Filibuster Harry]

20. Get the vote out for Carmona

This is why so many people dislike (and I am being polite here) the R's so much. The party of family values and of God and yet they keep up dirty tactics.

Arizonans: This reason alone should make you vote for the democrat Richard Carmona for Senate. If Jeff Blake (republican) is willing to do this to voters then how reassured are you that he will lookout for you as a US senator?

[StarryNite]

21. Saw this last night on the news and posted it to General Discussion

where it fell like a rock. This race for US Arizona Senate is very, very close and I think it would be an easy one for them to steal by using tactics like this.

btw Jeff Flake happens to be Mormon.

[grantcart]

22. kick

[and-justice-for-all]

23. They should goto jail for this shit..nt

[FiveGoodMen]

24. We need mandatory prison terms for this kind of thing.

[Panasonic]

25. Life in prison. Solitary confinement. No priveleges EVER

Bread and gruel for the rest of his life, and he gets 23 hours a day in the cell.

[StarryNite]

26. I like it!

That would make them knock that shit off real quick!

[underpants]

27. "Republican household" ???

What the .... is a Republican household? This sounds like - "If the MAN votes Republican all the others should or will too"
