The best evidence NBPP story is bunk? Stephen Hayes is pushing it.

The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes writes:

There is no question about the fact that voter intimidation took place. Not only are there numerous eyewitness accounts, one of the NBP members was videotaped at the front of the polling station wielding a baton. That “no voters attested to being turned away” is meaningless. Voter intimidation, as Smith allows, is against the law. Period. And it's certainly possible that some voters, upon seeing a NBP member with a nightstick, simply turned and left without saying anything.

Not one voter has said he or she was intimidated! Not one person. How can voter intimidation have occurred without intimidated voters? And yet Stephen Hayes is certain: “There is no question about the fact that voter intimidation took place.”

Then again, Stephen Hayes is best-known for his dubious claims about "The Connection" between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al Qaeda, so he's never been one to let a lack of evidence stand in the way of his certainty.
