A Hasty Retreat...

Here's an interesting follow-up to the Michigan voting story discussed last week. Seems that the Michigan Messenger's story has been enough to motivate Michigan's Dems to file a legal challenge against the concept of using foreclosure as sufficient basis to deny voting rights, and...wait for it...the Republicans have not only now denied they ever entertained such a plan, but are claiming that the Messenger just fabricated the original story. That sounds plausible. I assume the Republicans in Ohio, referenced in the original story, have also recently discovered they didn't have any similar plans. I hope someone from the Messenger sleeps very well tonight indeed. Nice to see the people (or at least the pols) of Michigan aren't taking that one lying down. Link to the updated story here.
