Ohio Republicans Reenact Watergate?

Somebody find E. Howard Hunt!

Hesiod is on top of this, and provides me with this to steal, so I don't have to go to Drudge. I expect to use it a lot in the next couple weeks.



This IS very serious.

The Lucas County Democratic Headquarters was burglarized overnight, and three computers, including the party’s main system, were stolen.

The computers contained highly sensitive information, including the party’s financial information, names and personal phone numbers of hundreds of party members, candidates, and volunteers.

The computers also stored e-mails from candidates that included discussion about campaign strategy.

A second computer, belonging to an attorney-volunteer working to ensure voters’ rights, also was taken, officials said. The headquarters on 1817 Madison Avenue does have an alarm system that volunteers believed they set late Monday when they left.

However, it apparently wasn’t tripped during the night. Workers arriving about 7:30 a.m. yesterday noticed the back window had been shattered and called police.


Couple this with many other problems in Ohio, from the Secretary of State on down, the fraudulent registration scams run by Republican operatives in Oregon, Nevada, and Florida, it sure appears the GOP is actually turning into the einsatzgruppen we all joked about, but never really contemplated them becoming.
