Swing States Illegally Dropping Voters
It would seem that several swing states, including Ohio, are dropping newly registered voters from their polls. Many of these voters represent the Obama camp, as the Democratic candidate has helped register thousands of new voters.
Dropping voters from the polls within 30 days of a Presidential election, and using only Social Security files to validate, are both illegal, yet seem to be common practice in these states. Read all about it, in the New York Times article, here.

Purging voters illegally is an old tried-and-trued GOP tactic dating back to the early 1980s (and if you believe Right Wing Radio’s take on this that it’s a fantasy, I have a thick legal file left over from the ‘86 Breaux campaign I can share with you).
This time if they try to steal it, it should end in the streets.

I don’t know know. Looks like regular old bureaucratic incompetence to me.

“regular old bureaucratic incompetence”.
Is that what we’re calling it now?
It’s not election fixing?
And that level of incompetence in acceptable to you, in a Presidential Election?
I guess if it’s been happening before, it should just go on.

Now THAT’S how to turn a country around!
