James Tobin Gets Prison

In New Hampshire yesterday, James Tobin, the former New England regional director of the Republican National Committee, was sentenced to 10 months in prison for his part in a phone-jamming attack designed to shut down a Democratic get-out-the-vote effort.

Tobin is just one of three men convicted in the scheme and the Republican Party has reportedly paid more than $2.5 million for his legal defense. This has raised suspicion that many more officials are involved in voter fraud.

"We need to find out how high this goes in the Republican Party," said Paul Twomey, an attorney for the Democratic Party who is leading a separate civil lawsuit that alleges Republican voter fraud and seeks monetary damages.
