| You may have seen this story this morning, with an excerpt from a letter Conrad Burns sent to elections offices across Montana inquiring about purges of election rolls (an odd request, given that as of about 65 days ago, no more purging of voter rolls could be legally done -- as we've recently learned thanks to Judge Molloy).
In quoting just a single sentence, reporter Chelsi Moy is forced to 'sic' it up twice: "As chairman of the McCain/Padin (sic) campaign here in Montana, we are getting reports from all across the country of fraudulent registrations and the abuse and mis-use (sic) of our liberal laws to get more people to participate in our system," he wrote. But this excerpt hardly does justice to the full email:Election Administrator
As chairman of the McCain/Padin campaign here in Montana, we are getting reports from all across the country of fraudulent registrations and the abuse and mis-use of our liberal laws to get more people to participate in our system. These irregularities are not just in areas who have noted reputations. We should encourage all citizens to vote and to facilitate the electors as much as legally possible.
I would appreciate if you could inform me as to when you last purged your list of registered voters in you county. It seems that is where we experience most of our irregularities. Now some take our laws lightly and abuse them to give their political party power or personal politics become more important than the welfare of our state or nation. It becomes very important to millions of responsible citizens who go through the rigors of being a legal and motivated voter. They do not think it smart or cute to abuse the law.
There is a reason election laws tend to be broken or abused. There is no penalty and/or no change in the result when violations occur. Our elections are based on honesty and integrity because we as the free self-governed people take voting very serious. Until we change the law, we are strapped with a law that is very hard to administer.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Conrad Burns We've been trying to make heads or tails of this letter. Frankly, we can't tell whether our former Senator is calling for purges of the voter rolls or for jailtime for Jake Eaton. Either way, it's a heckuva read! |
