So my 75 year old Dad got hit with a Rick Scott voter purge gimmick.

46. Prosecuted? Tim Griffin just denied it and was rewarded by being elected to congress

Griffin was selected by House Republicans to serve on the Judiciary Committee, which had investigated the circumstances of his appointment as interim U.S. Attorney.

When Tim Griffin resigned his post as interim federal prosecutor a day after the BBC broadcast linking him to illegal "voter caging," Griffin insisted he did not know what "caging" was.

Griffin, currently the Republican candidate for Congress in Arkansas's Second District, said he only found out after the BBC report that "caging" is a term "used in the direct mail" business.

That's correct, Mr. Griffin: it's an address capture scheme which, when used against voters of color, is a federal crime.

Right here, printed above, is an email sent by Griffin with the subject line, "Caging" with lists attached of soldiers and homeless men whose votes the Republican National Committee wanted the Bush campaign to challenge.

So, if Griffin's name is listed as the author of the "caging" memo, how the heck could he not know what he was saying and sending?
