The Rigging of the 2008 Election is On. Again.
Here it is kids. Just like I told you they were going to do. Two years ago.
The elections are rigged to the high heavens.
Hay Mom. Their doing it again!
Get on that Dam phone and call and tell every body you can think of about this.
E- mail the link to every one.
Post it every where.
Get Mad.
Raise Hell.
It has to be stoped before the election.
If you try to do some thing about it after the election. It will be too late.
They will have stolen another election from us.
They did it to me.
There going to do it to you. There doing it to every one.
Texas is on the list.
Taylor county is number one on the list in Texas.
By Law. It is illegal to purge any one off the registered voters list. 90 days before the election.
Their doing it any way.
Larry L. Burks

1. Houston essentially disenfranchises 10,000 new voters
We've always suspected the Tax Assessor/Voter Registrar in Harris Paul Bettencourt to be a vote purger type of guy. He's one of those always railing about voter fraud (i.e. code words for Democratic voters).

So the latest report from Harris on Oct 17th had this little nugget in the story.

Houston Chronicle 10/17/08
Some who wish to cast ballots early may have to fill out forms or wait days
(snip)
Some missed deadline
Many Harris County residents may not realize, until they try to vote, that their registrations were submitted or mailed too late for the Oct. 6 deadline.

About 10,000 such registrations will be added to the rolls for future elections, Bettencourt said, but those voters will be unqualified to vote in the Nov. 4 election for president, Congress, county officers and other government positions.


Me, I'm skeptical about 10,000 putting voter registration cards in the mail the final weekend of registration but somehow they didn't make it by the Monday midnight deadline. I would like to see the postmarks on those cards.

10,000 votes can certainly swing an election in Harris.

:grr:

2. Will, This time it has to be Different.
This time we know how they are doing what they do.

We need to find a way to stop them.

I know that the law is on our side.

What they are doing is illegal.

Post any news that you hear about where we are challenging them in a court of law.

Then talk it up.

Get out the vote. And keep those voters on the list.

Make it stick this time.

3. And don't forget the e-machines...
And who do you turn to? The courts? The Republican courts? The Republican Supreme Court? The Justice Department? With Mukasey?

My fear is that instead of seeing Democratic landslides all around the country we will see Republican landslides.

And where is the Democratic Party? Sitting around twiddling its thumbs.

4. Hey Larry?
Welcome to DU. Glad to have you here.

Would you consider just replying in an existing thread, instead of starting another new one on the e-Slate topic?
