Giannoulias Hits Kirk for Voter Suppression Efforts

I certainly didn't watch the Giannoulias vs. Kirk debate last night (MLB playoffs!) and because of that missed a good exchange. As TPM reports, Giannoulias went after Kirk on his "voter integrity" efforts, directly accusing Kirk of trying to suppress the African American vote. In case you missed it, Kirk was caught on tape talking about sending lawyers to predominantly black areas to watch for that Repub bugaboo, voter fraud. Never mind that instances of voter fraud are extraordinarily rare. Kirk's going after it!

This race is extremely close right now, with Kirk holding a tiny, tiny lead. Imagine how it would be if the Dems weren't running a shady candidate.
