MILWAUKEE - The sons of a first-term congresswoman and Milwaukee’s former acting mayor were among five Democratic activists charged Monday with slashing the tires of vans rented by Republicans to drive voters and monitors to the polls on Election Day.
[…] The activists — all employees of the John Kerry campaign — are accused of flattening the tires on 25 vehicles rented by the state Republican Party to get out the vote and deliver poll watchers Nov. 2. [emphasis added]
Let’s keep that last fact firmly at the lead of this story. We all know how this would play if it had been Bush campaign workers charged with slashing tires.
