The New York Times had an excellent editorial today outlining the benefits of a bill that would help to put Karl Rove and his merry band of election thieves out of business.

Two Democratic senators, Barack Obama of Illinois and Charles Schumer of New York, are introducing a bill today that would make deceiving or intimidating voters a federal crime with substantial penalties.

I urge everyone visiting here to contact your Senators and ask them to support this important legislation, The Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2007.
