I don't recall any such dialogue or reporting by the MSM. To the contrary, all I recall were absurd allegations from the left and its media handmaidens that minorities were being intimidated from voting.

Exactly! In fact, I remember watching another Conyer's run circus that was supposedly looking into the disenfranchisement of voters after the 2004 election.
Instead of stories about GOP precinct HQs being shot up; or GOP vans being vandalized; or crack coccaine and cigarettes being handed out for Democrat votes...all I heard was anectodal stories about college kids missing lunch because of long lines.
Instead of the substantiated crimes that Democrats committed, all I ever heard about was the unsubstantiated claims that Republicans were using intimidation tactics to suppress the vote.
Just like the phony Civil Rights Commission report after the 2000 election...that could find no intentional wrong doing, Democrats don't have any substantiation for their claims. Yet, I rarely see any of this same outrage for those abuses Democrats have been caught in (and convicted of) by this same media that heralds the liberals claims.
Even this "poor, black disenfranchisement" is a joke since most of these precincts with antequated equipment are run by Democrat supervisors responsible for their own communites. The fraud here is what their leaders are doing with this money, instead of investing it in a system that will serve the community.
And even now, as Republicans look for a way to further secure future elections with photo IDs, etc...it is still these same people moaning about intimidation and disenfranchisement. Now, why might that be? Could it be that it will make it harder for democrats to commit fraud? The gig is up.

We heard generic accusation aimed at Republicans. Actual events reported were pretty uniformly by Democrats.
