Latest campaign shenanigan

The breadth and depth of the RNC's deceptive, dishonest, and downright
illegal tactics is making it difficult for me to cherry pick which ones I
should highlight. While the tactics are many and varied, one thing remains
consistent...as soon as local law enforcement turns up the heat on the
purpetrators, the RNC moves them to another state to continue the same scam.

Case in point...several employees of the RNC sponsored Republican Victory
Program face absentee ballot fraud charges in South Dakota. The former head
of the organization, Larry Russell, resigned earlier this month as the
investigation was heating up.

You might be thinking that the RNC would be desperately trying to distance
themselves from the people involved in that scandal. Instead the RNC
appointed Russell to head a similar program in Ohio, which is now staffed by
many of the same people that were with him in South Dakota.

Sort of reminds you of the old travelling salesmen who would stay in town
until the mob figured out he was selling snake oil. Then he'd high tail it
out and set up shop in the next town.
