Jim Greer Says Florida Republicans Discussed Suppression of African-American Votes

Tampa Bay Times:

Greer’s animosity was evident on almost every page of the deposition as he described the inner workings of a party that has controlled Florida since 1998.

On voter suppression, Greer said he had just completed a December 2009 meeting with party general counsel Jason Gonzalez, political consultant Jim Rimes and Eric Eikenberg, Crist’s chief of staff, when questions arose about fundraising.

“I was upset because the political consultants and staff were talking about voter suppression and keeping blacks from voting. It had been one of those days,” he said.

Rimes said he recalls no discussion of suppressing votes at any meeting. Eikenberg did not return phone calls.

Keep in mind that Greer is not the most credible witness.  (H/t Dan Smith)
