McCain: No Home, No Vote

This is a very interesting email from 2008 (9/11/2008) where "citizens groups" were upset because John McCain was trying to stop people from voting in Michigan who had been hurt by Bush / McCain policies and were facing foreclosures on their homes. Jocelyn Benson was an election law professor at Wayne State University and was trying to stop him. Was she not compromised then? She moved fast from election law professor to Law Dean

"John McCain supported Bush administration economic policies that forced families out of their homes – now John McCain wants to silence citizens and take away their right to vote, and that's an outrage," Progress MichiganExecutive Director Dan Farough said. "John McCain should stop using these outrageous dirty

tricks to silence voters hurt by Bush McCain policies."

"An expose today by online news site Michigan Messenger revealed that the Republican Party in Macomb County will use a list of home foreclosures to block a citizen from voting. (www.michiganmessenger.com) Macomb County is regarded as a national bellwether for the presidential race and is home to the so-called "Reagan Democrats." Michigan has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation, with more than 12,000 homes in some stage of foreclosure, according to RealtyTrac."

"Jocelyn Benson, an election law professor at Wayne State University, called on Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land to protect voters' rights, saying: "People fought for the right to vote for decades and they shouldn't lose that right to foreclosure. Secretary Land must issue a directive that prohibits any campaign from suppressing the votes of Michigan citizens who are fighting to hold onto their homes."
