Exclusive | Emails Detail RNC Voter Supression in 5 States: "Furthermore, the emails show the Bush-Cheney campaign and RNC staffers compiled voter-challenge lists that targeted probable Democratic voters in at least five states: New Mexico, Ohio, Florida, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Voting rights lawyers have made allegations of so called 'vote caging,' against Republicans previously. These emails provide more evidence. One Republican operative involved in the planning wrote 'we can do this in NV, FL, PA and NM because we have a list to run against the Absentee Ballot requests, and should.'

Vote caging is an illegal tactic to suppress minorities from voting by having their names purged from voter rolls when they fail to respond to registered mail sent to their homes. The Republican National Committee signed a consent decree in 1986 stating they would not engage in the practice after they were caught suppressing votes in 1981 and 1986."

I do not doubt that the same tactics will be used to rig the 2008 elections, if they happen. I bet they will get away with this fraud, and the rigging of the next election, as well.
