Department of small worlds.

Many of you know that for years, I’ve been following the November 2002 New Hampshire election-tampering case, in which the state Republican party hired folks to sabotage Democratic and union phone-banks. So recently I looked at a copy of the NHGOP’s funding receipts in the week or so before election day, mainly to get some angle on how the money for the scam was funnelled to the state party.

But look who sent in $5000 checks the week before election day: the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.

What interest exactly did these Jack Abramoff clients from Mississippi and California have in this election?
