Dems Demand Quick N.H. Phone-Jam Inquiry
By ERIK STETSON, Associated Press Writer
CONCORD, N.H. - Democrats are accusing the Justice Department of playing
politics by trying to delay an inquiry into whether President Bush's New
England campaign chief played a role in illegal phone-jamming on Election
Day 2002.
Computer-generated calls were made to get-out-the-vote phones run by
Democrats and the nonpartisan Manchester firefighters' union. More than 800
hang-up calls tied up phones for about 1 1/2 hours.
Last summer, the former executive director of the state GOP pleaded guilty
to a conspiracy charge and admitted paying $15,600 to a Virginia
telemarketing company that hired another business to make the calls.
The state Democratic Party asked for an immediate hearing Friday to get
permission to question GOP officials under oath after a last-minute Justice
Department request delayed a questioning session set for Thursday.
In legal filings Thursday, Democrats said they believe Jim Tobin, the New
England director of the Bush-Cheney campaign, was involved in the phone
jamming. In 2002, Tobin was northeast political director for the Republican
Senatorial Committee, the party operation working to elect Republicans to
the Senate. He did not return a phone call seeking comment.
"The sudden cooperation between the Department of Justice and the New
Hampshire Republican Party strongly suggests that the Department of Justice
has intervened at this late moment in an attempt to prevent a Republican
Party operative from being publicly identified, disclosed and possibly
removed from his position because of his alleged involvement in electoral
fraud," Democrats said in a motion filed in Superior Court in Manchester.
