Uh Oh....Repubs Crank Up NEW Voter Registration Purges in Swing States... LINK
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 09:02 AM by Blackhatjack
You can't count votes that are never cast, no matter how many people show up at the polls to vote for Obama. Repubs know this. Palast is right on the money here.

Obama Doesn't Sweat. He should.
by Greg Palast

"In swing-state Colorado, the Republican Secretary of State conducted the biggest purge of voters in history, dumping a fifth of all registrations. Guess their color.

In swing-state Florida, the state is refusing to accept about 85,000 new registrations from voter drives – overwhelming Black voters.

In swing state New Mexico, HALF of the Democrats of Mora, a dirt poor and overwhelmingly Hispanic county, found their registrations disappeared this year, courtesy of a Republican voting contractor.

In swing states Ohio and Nevada, new federal law is knocking out tens of thousands of voters who lost their homes to foreclosure."

2. I propose a year in prison for every legal voter that
gets wrongly purged from a voter roll. That might make someone less willing to make a mockery out of the very underpinnings of our democracy. And enforce it without exception. Goddamn these evil, cheating, remorseless, fascist, thug criminals. Goddamn them all.
