Maryland Republican Found Guilty Of Voter Suppression Charges

Back in June, we brought you this story of two Republican aides indicted on voter suppression charges. The two, Paul Schurick and Julius Hen­son, were accused of sending over 100,000 robo calls to mostly blacks and minorities in Maryland, telling them not to vote, because Pres­i­dent Obama and the Demo­c­ra­tic con­tender for gov­er­nor, Mr. O’Malley, had already won.

“Hello,” the robo call said, “I’m call­ing to let every­one know that Gov­er­nor O’Malley and Pres­i­dent Obama have been suc­cess­ful. Our goals have been met. The polls were cor­rect, and we took it back. We’re okay. Relax. Everything’s fine. The only thing left is to watch it on TVtonight. Con­grat­u­la­tions, and thank you.”

Well justice is served. Earlier today, a jury of their peers found the first of the two, Mr. Paul Schurick guilty of voter suppression.

A Baltimore jury Tuesday found Paul Schurick, former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.’s campaign manager, guilty of election fraud and related charges for his role in an Election Day 2010 robocall.

The jury found Schurick guilty on all four counts, including election fraud and failing to include an Ehrlich campaign authorization line on the calls. After the verdict was read, Schurick clutched his wife, who burst into tears.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
