Freeper Meltdown Over Kos & Michigan

Breaking, Freeper melt-down over Kos' call to have fun in Michigan primary:

Let's Git'Im!!!    

Yesterday, I filed a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General against Daily Kos' blogger Markos Moulitsas, requesting an investigation into whether Moulitsas is encouraging voter fraud in next week's Michigan GOP primary....

In Daily Kos' January 10 posting entitled "Let's have fun in Michigan," Moulitsas called on Democrats to cross party lines and vote in the Republican primary for the express purpose of helping Mitt Romney win. Romney, he says, will be a "weak" opponent for the Democrats in November. Daily Kos makes no attempt to hide the fact they are influencing Republican primaries as Democrats to benefit Democrats.

   Moulitsas' call could be felonious. Michigan state law clearly indicates that unqualified electors voting in elections is a felony. It also specifies that counseling or aiding someone to vote in an election they are unqualified for is also a felony. Election law clearly specifies that to vote in a party's primary, one must actually belong to that party.

The best comment posted so far:

Look... I hate Kos like the next guy....

But sloppiness like this stuff makes all conservatives look like nut cases...

Michigan has an OPEN PRIMARY system, which means voters may choose which party’s primary to vote in, regardless of how they are registered.

Kos’ "suggestions" may be his usual smarminess, but its not illegal to encourage people to do something that’s legal (crossover vote in the primary), even if its for smarmy reasons.

Just about says it all....
