Wow, you have to get to the bottom of the article before the Democrat A.G. acknowledges that some of the things in question are protected by that pesky First Amendment. Lucky for us, Mr. Gansler wants to further limit our access that little gem of the Constitution. Thanks Doug. You’re swell.
Check out the comments just on this article from Maryland citizens on this gem – they are definitely fired up. Local bloggers get into the game pretty intensely as too: Red Maryland comments on this story and says that Doug Gansler should know better. There were some other comments on other blogs, but lets just say we wouldn’t post them in such a family friendly environment. Gansler better watch out, his political positioning might hurt his national Democrat allies turnout game in places like St. Louis and Philadelphia.
Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler called on state and federal lawmakers Tuesday to sharpen the lines between legal and illegal campaign activities as he released recommendations from a task force meant to prevent a repeat of the failures of the 2006 primary.“This last election was a dirty election … was it over the top in Maryland? Yes. Yes it was. And it should be illegal,” Gansler said, referring to the three-hour-long lines at some Prince George’s County polling places and advertisements meant to dissuade black voters from voting in Prince George’s and Baltimore that were distributed in the fall of 2006.
The task force released recommendations meant to prepare state and county election boards for what could be the state’s largest voter turnout this November. Much of the concern discussed in both the report and at a news conference at the Evangel Cathedral in Prince George’s, where in 2006 many voters walked away from long lines, focused on threats to black, and other minority, voters.
