Tim Griffin, formerly right hand man to Karl Rove, resigned Thursday as US Attorney for Arkansas hours after BBC Television ‘Newsnight’ reported that Congressman John Conyers requested the network’s evidence on Griffin’s involvement in ‘caging voters.’ Greg Palast, reporting for BBC Newsnight, obtained a series of confidential emails from the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign. In these emails, Griffin, then the GOP Deputy Communications Director, transmitted so-called ‘caging lists’ of voters to state party leaders.

Experts have concluded the caging lists were designed for a mass challenge of voters’ right to cast ballots. The caging lists were heavily weighted with minority voters including homeless individuals, students and soldiers sent overseas.

Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee investigating the firing of US Attorneys, met Thursday evening in New York with Palast. After reviewing key documents, Conyers stated that, despite Griffin’s resignation, “We’re not through with him by any means.”

Conyers indicated to the BBC that he thought it unlikely that Griffin could carry out this massive ‘caging’ operation without the knowledge of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Rove.

This explains what caging is and why it matters:

Am I still a crazy leftist conspiracy nut?
 
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you.

Monica Goodling's testimony will provide a good basis for legal action, too.

I do think that voting is so fundamental to our nation that any breech of conduct should be dealt with severely.
 
Do yourself and all of us a favor and don't give John Conyers any stage. Although he is dangerous as chairman of a powerful committee, it would be pathetic to take him seriously. Everything he does and says is a race card. It is so transparent that he is an embarassment to us all. Congress itself would like to quell the CBC, because they are focused on being black rather than being Americans, ignoring that many of their constituents are not black. The CBC is 100% Democrat, so guess what their bias would be?
