GOP Election Tampering May Involve Bill Frist

Former New Hampshire Republican Party Executive Director Chuck McGee was sentenced to seven months in prison yesterday for the 2002 phone jamming scheme per the Union Leader. We reported on another conviction of a head of a Republican consulting group in February.

Josh Marshall has further background, pointing out that Bill Frist chaired NRSC, the campaign committee of the Senate GOP, when this election tampering was first organized, and that there is talk that this plan was reviewed in advance with the NRSC.
