[Michael McDonald]

There is an interesting juxtaposition of Jim Bopp’s harassment straw man
with the vote fraud straw man. No one is saying that harassment does not
occur. We know of people being killed. But it is interesting how every
example of harassment is now given by Jim as evidence in opposition to
campaign finance disclosure (or in this case to make an unnecessary snide
comment about Fred Wertheimer that does nothing to advance an argument or
improve the tone of the list serve), even when it does not involve
harassment originating from disclosure of a campaign donation. The parallel
with vote fraud is that we know there is virtually no in-person
impersonation, what strict photo is laws are meant to address, yet other
forms of vote fraud like absentee ballot fraud are given as reasons
implement photo id.

Old "Watch Dog" Fred only sees "harassment" and "intimidation" by Republican
public officials, but at least he has finally conceded that it can happen.
