GOP: In Its Greed, It Never Feels Like it Has Enough Power

The New York Times - quite rightly, IMHO - criticizes the Bush Justice Department for taking powers away from a Democrat elected Secretary of State to hand instead to that state's (Alabama) Republican governor, Bob Riley.

At issue is something pretty significant: Alabama's voter database... and we've already been treated to numerous examples of what happens when the Rethugs handle a state's voter database (can you say Blackwell in Ohio in 2004 or Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris in Florida in 2000?).
