It looks like the FEC only has a mandate to examine financing of elections with no powers to set voting procedures or investigate voting abuse, so I am guessing its up to the courts & lawyers to try to straighten that out. |

Hmmmmm. Conservaties attempting to reduce the number of voters. Sounds very familiar. Do conservatives everywhere make that attempt? I thought we had the ultimate dirty tricks master in Karl Rove. Have we beeen bested by Canadians? Edited by colo_crawdad, Feb 28 2012, 09:29 PM.

Right, seems different on that level, but don't you think there should be accountability at the federal level for federal elections? . |

No, I'd prefer to leave it to the states. Anyway, all I'm saying is we do have government watchdogs. But quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

So so far it's tied to a fake name Pierre Poutine? In the US we have a national Do Not Call list you can put your phone on. This aimed only at marketing calls but it would be great if it included politicking calls. |

We do as well, but political calls are exempted from it. |

I suspect the Pierre Poutine thing will turn out to be the real story, and it has nothing to do the the Conservative party at all, although I must admit they've done some dumb things recently. But like all political stories, no matter what's found, some dirt will stick, and those with anti-Conservative sentiments will hang onto it like a drowning man to a life preserver. |
