Thread Name: BS: illegal voter roll purges, vote spoilage
Subject: RE: BS: illegal voter roll purges, vote spoilage
The fact is that in 2006 it was determined that less than 50 people comitted voter fraud... (Read the Palist.Kennnedy Report for details) yet we have Republican lawyers all over this land trying to have yet more potential Democratic voters purged...

My question is simple... Is it worth taking a half a million people's right to vote to keep less than 50 of them from comitting voter fraud???

That is the real question here...

(But, Bobert... Those people still get to fill out a provisional vote even if they had been purged incorrectly... Doesn't that mean anything???)

Well, not really... 1 out of every three provisonal votes never got counted in 2006...

But, hey, the Repubs have had the power to purge voters and it's been purge, purge, purge since 2000... In 2000 Katerine Harris and Jeb Bush purged 57,000 mostly Democratic voters from the roles...

The numbers in Ohio from the 2004 are even greater...

Really makes the US look like 3rd World dictatorship when it can't even hold a somewhat fair election...
