1) They charge money for it - implicit poll tax. Illegal. If they were free and readily accessible to obtain - No issue. 2) The states being taken to court are in trouble because they are stripping people off of the lists first and then the person has to prove they're legitimate to get back on. That doesn't exactly follow "innocent til proven guilty" lines. 3) The states are being selective about where they start stripping the lists (key counties, etc). Even Republican county voting administrators are crying foul. 4) The statistical percentage of voter fraud is negligible.. otoh, the statistical percentage of vote COUNTING and TALLY fraud is happening often enough to warrant investigation. This is particularly true in counties that have spent a lot of money on electronic voting equipment made by Diebold that.... provides wrong results that favor the GOP, imagine. But then if you don't look past the sound bites, I guess one might miss those things.

See, in earlier societies we'd put a jester's hat on people like Ann Coulter and throw rotten food at her while she performs --- in modern society, someone pays this village idiot a lot of money and the underinformed peasants nod seriously when she babbles.

And about Ann Coulter, there is nothing those fools from there doesnt suprised me anymore. We know that they hate all the "D" and they hate Obama with a passion. EDIT: It look like Ohio can do Early Voting again and also we, Florida and Texas have had their Republican led voter suppression tactics undone. Small Victory for Obama.

Coulter also doesn't believe that women should be allowed to vote (since they tend ro vote Democratic). Her hypothesis is that women are too emotional to reason properly, so important decisions should never be decided by women. The irony of her words never seems to be grasped...

It is funny that she thinks that, because there are many, many people aged 24 and younger that are not a dumb schmuck like her and that have a better grasp of reality and identifying facts. She is a fool. She truly is. It is too bad that she has a decent number of supporters. Just more fools.

You know what I find funny about the prospects of the Republicans controlling the White House, Congress (and lets face it The Supreme Court) is that we'll be back to where we started in 2002 (after the Senate Majority went back to the Republicans)
Oh how short term the American Public's memory is. Or how divided government works over the past few decades. Although I do agree, Obama is pretty much closer to Bush I if you look closely.

allow me to bolster this claim... Democrats Can't Find Their Voters Many observers think that the election won't be determined by the 5% of voters in 8-10 swing states who haven't made up their minds yet, but by which party does a better job of getting its base to the polls. If would be nice if the voters could be trusted to simply go vote because it is election day (or in many states, pre-election week), but such is not the case. So both parties have lists of people to go badger on election day to see if they have voted or in some cases, help them vote by driving them to the polls, babysitting for them, or providing other assistance. Names can get on these lists because campaign workers have talked to them in the past and them seem to be leaning in the "correct" direction but are not highly motivated to vote. Sometimes campaigns buy lists of people who subscribe to a gun magazine, live in a certain zipcode, or have some other characteristic that gives a hint how they would vote. A new study in Milwaukee shows that 41% of the addresses supposedly of Black voters are wrong. That is, campaign workers went to the listed address and the people been sought no longer live there. City wide, that means 160,000 Black voters can't be found, probably because most have moved since 2008. There is no reason to think that Milwaukee is an exception, so the problem of mobile voters is going to haunt the Democrats' get-out-the-vote operation in November. As a general rule, Republicans are older and less mobile and are probably easier to find. ... and here's the links dedicated to the 'unmotivated' you democrats here have a tall order to fill... Obama's Biggest Problem Is Convincing People Who Already Support Him to Vote Why 90 million Americans won't vote in November |

Although there are of course voter drives to expand access as it's much easier to encourage people to vote in the first place rather than courting them to your side. Still these voter ID laws ARE a problem, because it targets the demographics that are traditionally Democrat. What's the sense of encouraging your party members to vote if they are disenfranchised wholesale in the first place?

Flying sent me a PM, but it says he doesn't want to receive PMs or can't receive PMs. So I'll just put my response to him in this thread: It's not that I'm a big time supporter of the democrats and Obama. I just hate what the GOP has become. In 2008, I was considering voting for McCain, even. But the GOP has just degraded and degraded and degraded some more in the last 11 years. I'd much rather support the democrats than them at this point.
Please tell me you have some issues with the GOP? You can't tell me you don't see some things that are wrong and bad from them, can you? I'm not talking about minor, little things, either. Yep, just another instance of the GOP playing real dirty for the sake of gaining power in the government. There are so many criminals with them. Even Romney might technically be a felon, depending on what the case is with him and Bain Capital.

Legitimate fact-checking being buried by phony partisan deluge of misinformation:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/01/us...false-ads.html And I'll observe this comic renders a entirely accurate representation of the delegates the camera has focused on http://amultiverse.com/2012/08/31/the-tyrrany-of-facts/
