During the 2000 presidential election in which the results had to be decided by the Supreme Court, voter ballots were contested at the individual level. Also, in the days leading up to the election, Ohio voters found their voting rights challenged by so-called residency 'discrepancies.' Busloads of GOP operatives rained down upon Ohio election boards and started wreaking havoc. Now, again, the voter roll is being purged and residency 'discrepancies' are being cited as the reason to remove voters off the rolls. A new article ( http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/04/more-than-1-5-million-t... ) sheds light on recent events in Texas.
<p> It would appear Texas does not want to participate in Democracy! Is Karl Rove up to the same tactics used in the 2000 election?

    Contrary to liberal belief, the U.S. Supreme Court did NOT decide the 2000 election. After numerous re-counts, the SCOTUS was petitioned to intervene in the matter and ruled there wasn't enough time to conduct yet another recount before the deadline.
    Hence, they kicked it back to Florida which allowed the lower court's ruling to stand.

    Dirty tricks? I would say the dirty tricks are coming from those who are vigorously fighting voter ID laws and prohibiting states from doing what they can to verify eligible voters prior to the election.

    Someone who has died, moved, or registered illegally, remains on the voters log until the election office in that state is notified about a change of status. A person could be registered in two or more states without even realizing it. Since people are not required to present an ID to register, all the information collected can only be verified through the mail, using the last given address.

    The states do what they can with the scant amount of info but the Dept. of Just-Us in DC refuses to allow states access to databases of already collected info that would make the process far easier and more accurate.

    So, ask Eric Holder WHY he's against voter ID laws in addition to blocking efforts to correctly identify who's eligible and who isn't. It s...&

It seems he would take a special interest considering his own ballot was obtained by someone giving Holder's name & address at a polling place in a recent primary election.

    Just NO -

    How many illegal voters constitute a problem?? Got a number?? At what point do you think the dead should be denied the right to vote?? At what point do you think that illegal aliens should be denied to vote in this country?? Voting is one of the most precious rights US citizens have; why do you want to give it away??

    Anybody can walk in to vote and say they are me and without proof presented they could vote using my name.

    I'll say it again, if I can't rent a movie without a photo ID, then I expect everyone to have one to vote.

    Sounds like the conjecture storm, with no factual basis, is starting early among the left this year, good job.
