And it’s all just a hop, skip and jump from creepy Ken Blackwell (who knows a thing or two about voter suppression and fraud from his Ohio shenanigans) and the ever-delightful Ginni Thomas and her band of merry miscreants at Groundswell.

One of the influential conservatives guiding the group is Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, a columnist for the Daily Caller and a tea party consultant and lobbyist. Other Groundswell members include John Bolton, the former UN ambassador; Frank Gaffney, the president of the Center for Security Policy; Ken Blackwell and Jerry Boykin of the Family Research Council; Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch; Gayle Trotter, a fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum; Catherine Engelbrecht and Anita MonCrief of True the Vote; Allen West, the former GOP House member; Sue Myrick, also a former House GOPer; Diana Banister of the influential Shirley and Banister PR firm; and Max Pappas, a top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

I always wonder how many of these people are fully aware of what they’re doing, and how many actually believe in the ‘Voter Fraud’ hype. It’s transparently obvious that there’s no fraud to speak of in in-person voting, and some of them must know that, and thus that all they’re doing is making it harder for legitimate voters to cast their ballots. But the belief in Voter Fraud runs DEEP in individual wingnuts. I guess I wonder how far down the Right wing heirarchy the corruption runs before it becomes just ignorance and paranoia. Where do the con artists end and the marks begin?
