Voter registration process causes concern

Alleged irregularities in several counties are being probed.

Palm Beach Post

TALLAHASSEE — Law enforcement officials are investigating voter registration irregularities in at least three counties in Florida, and election supervisors fear that the problem is so widespread it could lead to massive confusion on Election Day.

Third-party groups, including tax-exempt organizations known as 527s that engage in political activity, have been conducting voter mobilization drives in an attempt to persuade new or apathetic voters to turn out in support of their causes — mostly Democratic — on Nov. 2.

But problems with the applications, already reported to authorities in Miami-Dade, Duval, Monroe, Leon, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, could result in people who thought they had registered showing up at the polls only to discover they aren't eligible to vote.
...

Many of the third-party groups delivered bundles of applications, some collected as long ago as January, on the final day. Cowles said he received about 15,000 registration applications Monday, which he called "a disservice to voters."

(voters who didn't correct mistakes on registrations by Oct. 4 can't vote)

1. People who dont have the sense that God gave them
To be able to go down and register to vote on their own, don't deserve to vote!

2. Something keeps telling me we could be waiting much longer than 20 some
odd days to find a winner in this election. It is going to get nasty.
