I'll bite. Who is/was Andy Stephenson? And why should I care?
Seriesly.
Andy Stephenson is/was a big DUmmie. His cause celebre was voter fraud... although not real voter fraud, the kind that actually influences elections. You know, illegitimate voters, felon voters, noncitizen voters, multiple voters, the kind of fraud that invariable benefits Democrats. No, Andy went after alleged voting machine fraud, claiming that electronic voting machines were not only vulnerable to massive fraud, but actually were fradulent in the 2004 election. He managed to embarrass himself by associating with Bev "$10 away from proving fraud" Harris, who later turned out to be somewhat of a crook.
Several months ago, appeals to assist Stephenson started showing up on DU. Apparently he had pancreatic cancer and needed $50,000 for a special procedure that could only be done at Johns Hopkins. The DUmmies raised the money, then people started whispering that maybe Stephenson wasn't on the up-and-up. Maybe it was all a big fraud. And maybe it was... but it definitely wasn't proven, and quite a few FReepers acted as though it had been. And now, apparently, he's dead.
