LINCOLN — Seven counties in Nebraska and one in Iowa are being threatened with lawsuits over having more registered voters than voting-age residents.

Two national groups say the numbers are evidence that county officials are not cleaning up voter registration rolls, as federal law requires.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation, based in Plainfield, Indiana, and True the Vote, based in Houston, have both sent letters alerting county officials to the alleged violations.

The letters said that poorly maintained voter rolls threaten the integrity of elections.

1. And let me guess all these new and extra voters will vote republican

The demographics for the GOP is just brutal and election rigging, gerrymandering,
and control of electronic voting has been and will be their standard operating
procedures.

3. True the Vote is is a Right Wing Group

6. Good pick up ..... I have had dealings w/true the vote

I should know better then to post before coffee


In 2004 in Ohio they were working under the name "the mighty Texas strike force"

9. In Arkansas back in the Faubus administration it was the dead, still on the roles

that voted absentee. Kind of makes sense though. And usually at the last moment they would find a batch of ballots. It worked for a long time, hell may be still working, who would know except the party in power.

We really need a national ID card. Punch that sucker in at the polling place, the doctors office, the hospital and you are you. Tie it to Social Security and bingo it quits working when you are dead.

13. And when you work 2 jobs and the "national ID office" is across town

with no public transit access, how do you get such an ID card?

[LiberalArkie]

15. I guess like how would you get to a place to get groceries. But going to the doctors and such all

the time, for me I sure would like to have a card that would be me. Like a medicare card but for my id. It would be my social security card, my medicare card, my voter registration card etc. The neat thing would be the voting machines, just walk up and slip in the card and vote. They could even have the voting machines in grocery stores etc. You have a heart attack in a city. They pull the card out and put it in a reader and there is you info about your conditions and meds. It would save a lot of lives.

I know big brother. But we already have big brother, why not have big brother serve the populous and not just the "MAN"

16. In addition to the problems above that you glossed over

such an ID card is going to require a birth certificate. Those aren't handed out for free. And ironically, your state can require proof of identity before giving you a copy.

Again, the glorious card you propose has massive problems for anyone who is not able to randomly take time off during a workday, has their own car, and has enough spare money around to walk through the bureaucratic hoops.

For example, it took me nine attempts to get a New York driver's license when I moved there. I had a valid license from another state, and a copy of my birth certificate, and my social security card, and a US passport, and a signed lease from the apartment where I was living in NY. Still wasn't enough proof. And the "fixes" that the DMV employees demanded changed each visit. (Plus the passport expired between visits 5 and 6.)

The only reason I could ever get that license is I worked a job where I could say "I'm going to spend the next two hours at the DMV" nine times, as well as enough income that I could pay for the additional documentation they demanded.

17. I know a lot of places make it insane. I remember when I moved to Texas back in the

70's. I hand them my Arkansas DL (no picture back then and paper) they give me a Texas DL with pic. Moved back to Arkansas, just the reverse. It seems now days with pictures on all the DL's that it would be easier since you had to have shown the first place your identity. I think with a federal ID it would be forced to be easy. Much like the Medicare card is. The states seem to have been in a race to see how complicated they can make it for their citizens. I mean if you can get an international drivers license and it is good everywhere, why can a backwater country like U.S.of A. do a simple ID?

10. Question is - do they have lawyers overseeing the purge

Some of the voter purges have been horrendous for Black and Young voters

[Botany]

11. The major voter purge has been and still is "Crosscheck"

Which 31 republican Sec. of State put in order to "keep people from voting
twice" in 2 different states.

[FreakinDJ]

12. Their website says "By Federal Law"

and I don't know what all that entails but I'm sure they have a fleet of lawyers that could

[jberryhill]

5. No, they are probably either dead or moved out

It's not as if someone in the elections department is notified of deaths or people who move out.

But, so what. They don't show up to vote.

7. "Bury Me in Chicago, So I Can Keep Voting."

2. Oh now its 'violating voter registration law' thats the problem with dems, they

use too many damn words. what is wrong with two words?
VOTER FRAUD.

[blm]

4. "voter fraud" is a Rove invention to deflect from the reality of ELECTION FRAUD

.

[DetlefK]

8. Technically, it's election-fraud.

[Sunlei]

14. I have 6 voter registration cards. Texas even sent a laminated card couple years ago.

Next we will hear republicans will want the cards to expire every year or two like their stupid "state issued picture ID only for voting" does.

Republicans will do everything they can to make our one vote as difficult as possible.
