While the following isn't about the "intimidation" in Arkansas, I think it is interesting. It picks up where Colmes had said, "I'm talking about staying within the law."

MEESE: Yes.

COLMES: In Florida, the same voter...

MEESE: I agree.

COLMES: ...scrub list that was used two years ago, the same firm is being employed. Greg Palace reports this. More than 94,000 names on it.
That they made a deal with the NAACP to wait until after the election before they do away with that scrub list.
And that could lead to the same kind of shenanigans we saw two years ago. Shouldn't they have cleaned this up two years after the last election?

MEESE: Well, I would think they should have. And again, who's responsible for not doing that? I think also, Alan,it's very important to recognize that you had your previous George Mitchell talking about the motor voter list, the Motor Voter Act.
That is the biggest facilitator of fraud that has ever been introduced into the United States.
And it's -- that's why the Democrats were so hot for it, and why the Republicans opposed it. I think if you look at the record state by state,you'll find that Republicans have the better of the records in terms of honest and legitimate elections and not falsification and fraud.

COLMES: Well, isn't it true historically that's it's been Republicans, who as George Mitchell said, as Ambassador Mitchell said, who have been in favor of more poll watchers,who have gone and tried to stop the vote? They're the ones who have tried to prevent motor voter? They're the ones who have tried to get fewer people to the polls?

MEESE: No.

COLMES: Historically, the Democrats have always been out to get more people into a voting booth?

MEESE: No, actually the Republicans have been very good at trying to get people to the polls.
They've had get out the vote campaigns at least where I came from in California, that have been spectacular.
But the reason that, as you point out, George Mitchell is for motor voter is it's a very good means of promoting fraud.
And those are the things that I think the Republicans are legitimately trying to prevent. I am absolutely encouraging every American to vote.
They should have the opportunity to vote, but they only get to vote once.

HANNITY: Mr. Attorney General, one of your finest performances.

Hadn't read the finish before my last response. Attorney General Meese nailed it pretty good.
