Purging in PA is getting worse. Young woman on CNN just said
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 05:00 PM by BrentTaylor
She has been voting at the same place for yrs. Her name was on the roll during the primary. Now it was off today. She said they made her do a provisional ballot.

They just have to steal it, don't they?

2. They did it that way b/c the court said if a MACHINE malfunctioned,

they had to provide paper ballots. If your name isn't listed, they can steal the election by voter suppression.

In my town, your name is in a big book with your recorded signature for the years you've voted. You'd have to cut and paste an awful lot to lose a name in my situation.

They can't win if this was based on just ideas and issues.

on edit: ideas, issues, reason, and logic.

10. One in nine voters have been purged in Colorado.
