Olbermann talks about the voter caging

Michigan is one of the "swing" states this election, and so the Republican National Convention is doing what they can to gain that state. One method is to challenge people's vote by questioning their residence by the use of foreclosure lists.

The RNC has a long history of caging votes. Such programs have always been proposed as some means of creating equal and fair voting, but really that's a charade. They target minorities, a group that has a large tendency of voting against Republican candidates. It's an unethical attack against a person's right to vote, and it creates unneccessary complications which are easily avoidable once one looks at the law behind voter registration and the ability of voters to vote in Michigan (see previosuly linked article).

Olbermann had a segment on this story:
