Voting suppression in Ohio continues. A link from TPM takes you to a Cincinnati.com story.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, who serves as John McCain’s Southwest Ohio campaign chairman, has requested personal information for some individuals who registered and immediately cast a ballot during a weeklong period that ended earlier this month.

Deters issued a subpoena on Friday for complete registration records for roughly 40 percent of the 671 voters who registered and cast a ballot between Sept. 30, when early voting began, and Oct. 6, the deadline for voter registration.
There is apparently a grand jury investigation ongoing into allegations of "voter fraud", but of course Deters cannot comment.
A prosecutor who is John McCain's campaign chairman, checking up on individual voters before the election? Does anyone think that is a bit of the appearance of a conflict of interest here? And here is a little more information on the apparently notorious Mr. Deters.
Can you imagine the intimidation factor on the general population when voters start getting contacted by the prosecutor's office, or questioned, or worse, dragged in to testify?
