The Obama campaign charged Friday that John McCain, in concert with the Bush administration, has embarked on a studied effort to disrupt Election Day in many states and suppress the vote.
In a conference call with reporters Friday, Robert Bauer, chief counsel for the Obama campaign, suggested that a flurry of fraudulent registration complaints recently, and a subsequent leak by FBI officials that the agency was investigating the incidents, were part of a coordinated attempt by McCain and the administration of President Bush to intimidate voters.
As evidence of the coordination, Bauer pointed to recent rhetoric from McCain that Acorn, a left-leaning non-profit group implicated in submitting fraudulent voter registration forms in several states was, as McCain put it during this week’s debate, tearing at “the very fabric of Democracy.’’
McCain’s comments about Acorn were quickly followed by a Justice Department news leak that the FBI was investigating the group. The leak, Bauer said, was a clear violation of Justice Department policies and likely came from Acorn.
Bauer said the timing of the comments and the leak suggested a “partisan plot” to suppress the vote on Election Day.

I hope they do suppress the votes of Mickey Mouse, Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, Jive Turkey, and all the other “people” whom ACORN registered.
Those are some pretty big words from a bunch of America-hating Marxists at Camp Obummer.
It’s workin.
We’re back to the old standard “voter suppression.” How dare the GOP act to keep non-citizens and the dead from voting. ...and that whole one man, one vote thing is positively unAmerican.
Evil always accuses others of what they themselves are doing.
Stand up for the rights of Asdf Qwerty to vote early and often.
Stopping the dead from voting is wacist.
I thought the Dems and Obama would at least hold this story back another week. They are firing their bullets early (way too early).
The internal polls must really be looking bad for Obama.
This is getting really old.
And the votes of those 150-year-olds who voted in Minnesota's last election.
DATE OF BIRTH ANALYSIS - STATEWIDE
• 14,410 registered voters have suspect date of births – 5,433 have no year of birth listed and 8,977 have birth years on or before 1908.
• 13,880 of these people voted in 2004 or 2006.
• 8,608 of these voters were 70 years or older when they first registered to vote
• 7,522 of these voters were 104 years or older when they last voted (45 were older than 120 and 16 were older than 150).
ACORN vote-fraud SOP. B. Hussein knows this election is close. B. Hussein knows he inspires nobody. B. Hussein knows the only chance he has is to steal this election through vote fraud. So, the Marxist mating call, “PARTISAN PLOT TO SUPPRESS VOTES” goes out.
Here it comes. He’s got this election stolen and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Even the SC is on this evil bastard’s side.
Gotta’ go. Heading out to Academy to buy me a gun.
What did I hear today, someone’s vote I believe they were dead as well (how’s that for a two-fer there), votes 72 times.

I was a Police Officer and Correctional Officer for some years.
This was a standard tactic that criminals used all the time. Point the finger of accusation at someone else to hide behind while you break the law.
So while the Obama/DNC/ ACORN break every law in the book in an attempt to get fraudulent votes, they accuse the Repubs of trying to suppress votes
Yeah but Obama will come back with “THEY’RE PICKIN ON ME”.
