During the 2002 campaign, I got a Democratic mailing at home. Even though my wife and I are both registered Republicans, the Democrats sent us a brochure at our home. This brochure had phone numbers for rides to the polls. I thought I might disrupt their Get-Out-The-Vote effort. This idea coalesced into disrupt their phone effort.”
I’m quoting my own notes of Chuck McGee’s December 6 testimony. His idea of disrupting Democrats’ phones was based 100% on having just read about phones that were used to help people get rides to the polls.
I’m still shaking my head that the Tobin defense team was able to convince this jury that when Chuck McGee told James Tobin about his phone-jamming plan, Tobin heard only about some kind of vague harassment of Democrats, with no mention of disrupting rides to the polls.
