The 2002 New Hampshire Senate election phone jamming scandal involved the use of a telemarketing firm hired by that state's Republican Party (NHGOP) for election tampering. The tampering involved using a call center to jam the phone lines of a get out the vote (GOTV) operation. In the end, 900 calls were made for 45 minutes of disruption to the Democratic-leaning call centers.
During that state's 2002 election for the United States Senate seat being vacated by Republican Bob Smith, the NHGOP hired GOP Marketplace, based in northern Virginia, to jam another phone bank being used by the state Democratic Party and the firefighters' union for efforts to turn out voters on behalf of then-Governor of New Hampshire Jeanne Shaheen on Election Day. John E. Sununu, the Republican nominee, won a narrow victory. In addition to criminal prosecutions, disclosures in the case have come from a civil suit filed by the state's Democratic Party against the state's Republican Party (now settled).
Four men were convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, federal crimes and sentenced to prison for their involvement. One conviction was reversed by an appeals court. James Tobin, freed on appeal, was later indicted on charges of lying to the FBI during the original investigation.
LIF. You cannot make the evidence of election fraud by Democrats go away by blaming the Republicans, dude.
Who cares what you think loser
The Republican Party has destroyed its self
It’s record is smeared with cheating in elections, crashing the world wide economy, lying this nation to war, lying about a massive world wide heath crisis that killed a million Americans, backing con men who stole top American secrets and sold them to Russians and who knows who else as well as inciting people to attack the FBI as well as attacking our most sacred of buildings to cause violence instead of a peaceful transition of power
And your dumb shitty ass hates the Democratic Party for saving democracy
You are a fucking Russian whore with not enough brains cells to think on your own

You have rendered your self meaningless

At Supreme Court, no reprieve for GOP in voting rights consent decree
US Supreme Court on Monday turned aside a petition from the Republican National Committee to lift a 30-year-old consent decree. The decree requires the RNC to refrain from tactics that could suppress voting rights.

WASHINGTON
The US Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up a request by the Republican National Committee to lift a 30-year-old consent decree that restricts the political party’s ability to enforce preelection ballot security programs that critics say would result in minority voter suppression.

DNC v. RNC Consent Decree
Share
In 1982, after caging in predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods, the Republican National Committee and New Jersey Republican State Committee entered into a consent decree with their Democratic party counterparts.
The Republican party needs to die for the health of American democracy
The Republican Party was kept on that consent decree for decades
They kept getting caught cheating in elections
Argument by repetition (chanting). LIF.

Republicans aren't restricting voting rights. DEMOCRATS are.
