A very
troubling email going around from Sheriff Joe Arpaio of
Maricopa County, Arizona. We can debate whether or not such an
email should properly be called an effort at vote suppression,
but I hope that there is broad consensus that the chief law
enforcement officer of a county should not be injecting himself
in such a politicized way in election administration issues. The
sheriff's job is to ensure that voters can cast votes at the
polls free of intimidation and violence. It is not to inflame
passions based upon unsupported allegations of massive
non-citizen voting (enough apparently to swing an election).
Very sad.
Jim Bopp has brought this
suit, but I would have thought that the issue was already
resolved in his client's favor by the recent state
court case.

Here's
the corporate announcement. It doesn't look like this is limited
to voters, so that's good.
AP offers this
report.
This could come
in handy on November 3.
