Orlando TV reporting voter registration fraud.
Up to three groups are under investigation for switching voter registration cards on collage campuses in Florida. You guessed it, they were switching people from Democrat to Republican. Of course Bush and Hood are saying that this will be investigated but likely after the election. WTF!

2. How stupid!
What will be accomplished by switching party registrations? It doesn't have anything to do with General Election voting. If you are going to commit registration fraud, at least do it intelligently!

4. i can believe it ,but this is what i heard
first time voters will look at their affiliation listed on their cards and think they have to vote that way <grain of salt>

at least thats what i heard about some new hispanic registrants

I also heard that voter registration drives were paying based on quotas. People head-hunting for GOP registrants could not get enough for quota, so they switched them

6. I'm sure the reason is probably because the lowly grunts doing the actual
voter reg were getting paid for the number of Repub registrations they turned in. Their masters probably assumed that they would have a tendency to not seek or turn in Dem registrations, or even destroy them.

So for these flying monkeys, getting Dems to register as Repubs served their goal of getting paid, although the Dems could still vote for JK they'd just be registered under the wrong party.

5. Just register Republican for now
You can vote however you want to at the polls. At least we know that Republican registrations will be processed.
