Strict Rules Aimed At Preventing Fraud May Keep Recently Registered Voters From Casting Ballots

Take for example Tameka Collins. When she applied for an absentee ballot, the elections office sent her a letter saying her signature didn''t match.

Been to Florida. Cannot help but wonder if she would have received such a letter if her first name was "Susan".

[bobnjersey]

[Wisconsin dropped its own no match rule when a test run showed one in four voters would have been eliminated because of typos and other minor problems. ]

so ... what''s florida going to do?

there''s no doubt that it will do no better than wisconsin.

[be_real]

ELECTIONS, another area that republicans are MASTERS IN CORRUPTING.

[mandalay-bay]

Florida just can''t get it together. Looks like they are trying to cheat again and give the state to McSame. Lemme guess, even though he is behind in all polls he will pull off a "miraculous" victory in Florida in Nov. Funny how they only have problems in close elections...

The state government of Florida routinely uses oppressive techniques to discourage voter registrations.

Many employees are local lifelong residents who are not exposed to different kinds of foreign last names found in great abundance in larger cities around the country, and misspell them when entering them into a database.

One big problem about confirming identity is economic, because all who get a Florida driver''s license are required to have insurance. Those who can''t get insurance won''t be able to get a driver''s license, and are discouraged to get a state identity card and register to vote.

The tactics, although seemingly passive, are extremely effective to diluting the voting power of minorities and uneducated citizens and discouraging voter registration. In Escambia County, behavior is still very much like 1968 about community attitudes that routinely oppress.

This makes how many times Florida has screwed up the votes there
We need to do away with the electoral vote system and make it by popular vote only

John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) was offered 1 million dollars by J. Corsi to refute ONE assertion in his book. To this day we are still waiting on John Kerry (who served in Vietnam).
These aren''t un-founded attacks by McBush. They are truths that cannot be argued against.
The sun came up in the east this morning. No it didn''t! Liar, Liar, Liar!

LOL

I don''t blame the Obama campaign going negative with its own attacks. It''s not that I condone *** for tat mudslinging. But the lesson of Swiftboats reminds us that a substantial portion of the electorate are swayed by lies and that an election in America cannot be won honestly based on issues and facts.

[amrt5016]

It is amazing how the white wingers hate everything America ever stood for.

You''ve got that right. They see the Constitution as ''liberal'' because it proclaims the ideals of equality and fairness for all and the greater importance of individual civil liberties versus the government''s powers. Their attacks on the Constitution are unrelenting to restrict or overturn the law where this spirit is expressed.

What is it with Florida and election problems?

[deedee993]

I guess the Florida Republican party is pulling their old trick. Disenfranchise voters. So, the Democrats will have to BOYCOTT FLORIDA!!!! Enough is enough. The Florida Republican can''t ever win the fair way. What a bunch of low life babies. So BOYCOTT! Florida Orange Juice, Florida Theme Parks, etc!!! If the Government can''t stop them. The people have to.

The McCain trolls are working at a feverish pitch inventing accusations and slander against Obama, because they need every vote they can steal to over come the obvious disaster of the last 8 years in which McCain was such a major factor.

ANY honest American who seriously considers voting for a continuance of the McCain supported policies of the past 8 years are either letting their prejudices interfere with their thinking or are woefully unaware of what is happening to them and theirs.

There are many who simply cannot imagine a black man as president yet they care enough for their countries future to vote against their biases but, sadly, there are probably far more who cannot or will not.

Every shadow these trolls can cast over Obama will just be one more excuse for the latter to use to ease their conscience.

I read most of the overnight postings as well as those made today and the number of, obvious, trolls, along with the sheer volume of comments, shows two things. One, They are obviously organized and probably paid, McCain trolls, and two; they are really worried because they realize the election is less than a month away.

One poster, docjohn52, pasted 7 of ten comments on one page and as many as 5 per page on several others from 11:30 pm last night, through 6:00 AM this morning.

Direct quotes from Snopes on the man you want to be the next president.

%u201CObama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to %u201Cmarch across a bridge%u201D in Selma Alabama, his mother, a white women from Kansas and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barack Obama Jr. was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn%u2019t occur until March 7,1965, at least five years after Obama%u2019s parents met.%u201D

Conclusion, Obama is a liar inventing himself, creating powerful, moving, images that simply are totally untrue. Snipes calls them anachronisms but people with plain old Common sense calls them out and out lies exposed by facts to the contrary.

*************************************

"Direct quotes from Snopes..." Really? Let''s see where you got this one.....hmmmmm

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19959

Only, you had to paraphrase that one to make it even more outrageous

Pathetic

[unccivil]

Again from snopes:

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby, decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr. to America.

%u201CThe problem with that scenario is that having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So if his African grandfather heard Kennedy%u2019s words that sent %u201C a shout across oceans%u201D, inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to American, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or this brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower%u201D.

Well all us rich republicans need to go have some caviar and fillet Mignon for lunch. See ya later.

[mrsdi]

It does seem as though the laws are working as long as the people enforcing them are fair and ethical. Let''s make sure that continues.

[wdrussell1]

Why is it that white wingers never have a thought that doesn''t come from cut and paste?

[willymack]

ypical right-wingers..."Again from Snopes"...unless Snopes doesn''''t know the difference between "Ann" Harkin and "Ruth" Harkin, I would have to say that this is the poster''''s misrepresentation of the facts which can be found here:
