Standingup recaps the discovery that three individuals whose names appear on the "caging lists" have recently been promoted. Her article Voter Caging: Is this Tool still in the RNC Arsenal? describes the analysis.

ePluribus Media has identified three individuals working within the Republican party's 2004 election apparatus who may have been party to what some have alleged was a ballot security program also known as "vote caging." Shawn Reinschmiedt, Christopher Carr and Rich Beeson have received less attention than Tim Griffin has on this issue. The three, also party to emails identifying voters who could be challenged during the 2004 elections, have recently been appointed to key RNC posts. This movement of RNC troops should be noted and followed.

The 2004 Caging Emails

Shawn Reinschmiedt and Tim Griffin were both on the email distribution list where challenge lists were discussed and sent to RNC officials during the 2004 election. Rich Beeson was the recipient of an email from Christopher Carr containing a caging list.

Reinschmiedt was a Senior Research Analyst for the RNC under Tim Griffin. He was copied on the August 26, 2004 email sent by Kelly Porter (Executive Assistant to Executive Director of Political Affairs & Executive Director of Party Development for the Republican Party of Florida) to Tim Griffin with the "caging list" attachment that ePluribus Media analyzed as part of a recent article ^__ Voter Suppression.
