How to steal elections?

Easy answer. Don't let people vote. This is alarming news.

Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law, according to a review of state records and Social Security data by The New York Times.

Elections like political campaigns and governments: local, state & federal are now too politically charged, politically oriented, and politically operated. It is not about government for the people it is government for the party.

The Nev state attorney authorized a raid on the local ACORN office; this after ACORN had previously self-reported suspicious voter registrations and furnished the documents to the local voter registration supervisor, not once but twice. Their office was raided while no one was there, all office records and computers were carted away less than 30 days away from the presidential election. But we know why that happened don't we?

I notice that the NYT article editorialized that the apparent violations of federal law did not appear to be due to deliberate, intentional actions by eledtion officials of either party. Maybe not, but the article also notes that the Obama campaign has registered more new voters than the MCain Campaign in those six states and that Obama's candidacy, therefore, will be more adversely affected. And why are the violations of federal election law so numerous mostly in "red" states in which the Democratic candidate has unaccustomed chance this year?

How to Steal An Election?

Hmmmm....drive people to polls and tell them to vote Obama. Drive homeless to polls, feed 'em and tell them to vote Obama. Let folks register to vote 70 times. Let the entire Dallas Cowboys football team register to vote in Vegas.

I guess the Constitution only matters when in regards to the Liberal agenda.

Nice try.

Once again...and just for you, MAK, homeless people getting to vote is a good thing...they have just as many rights as those of us who're lucky enough to have a roof over our head. And, driving people to polls is a good thing...NO ONE MAKES anyone vote a certain way. Lots of community organizations, Republican and Democrat, make efforts to make sure everyone gets to vote...even those without homes/cars/money.

It's especially needed in states like Ohio where voting places were rare in urban/poor areas...thus creating obstacles and long, long lines. In fact, it's ONE WAY Monkeyboy was able to steal the 2004 election. (And, from news reports Ohio is headed back down the same path.)

It is revealing that so many of the right wingers on this blog ASSUME that homeless, poor people are going to vote for Obama. It's an indication that y'all know your party doesn't give a damn about the poor/homeless.

Stalin quote
Hmmm wonder if Arkansas Times have political leaninings? Could that be to the far left by any chance?
Every true patriot should be concerned about fair voting practices. Is there valid evidence that an investigation of Acorn is warrented? Any right and fair minded person would have to say - yes.
How about we have fair honest elections?
AND wouldn't it be refreshing to have more fair, objective and balanced news reporting instead of trying to incite the people with such false claims ?
STALIN - VOTER FRAUD
"Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything."
-Communist Tyrant and mass murderer Josef Stalin
TODAY- he might say whoever can register and count the most - by any means - decides
Let's fight for keeping America a free Republic

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDdd, once again zelda, just for you...
homeless people voting GREAT
homeless people being driven to polls and fed and then told to vote OBAMA-not great. And this is happening, folks in Ohio were interviewed and told reporters that they WERE telling the friends that they were driving around to vote Obama.
ONCE again zelda, a guy being registered in the system over 70 times...and he will be testifying...not good.

I guess if I were driving people from the state hospital, shooting them up and telling them to vote McCain you would be okay with that? I guess if I registered to vote several different times as the AR Razorbacks and got all the AR Republicans to do the same and vote McCain that would okay?

NO ZELDA it would not be okay. You see I made several factual examples of what is going on. Never did I say that homeless people should not vote. I think encouraging all to vote is a great thing. BUT, when a group who has requested 20% of the bail out plan, who worked alongside Obama is heading the charge and encouraging people to vote one way or the other...that is oh I don't know pretty much ILLEGAL. Some how though the fluid that once constituted your brain is clogging your ears and eyes and of the several examples I made...none of which discounted any homeless people ...all your poor, mushed up "I have not common sense I just go with whatever ideology is most poplular among all the other liberals who lack common sense" brains could take in and regurgetate was
HOMELESS PEOPLE SHOULD NOT VOTE

Why don't you post something later on...talk to some people first, have them tell you what to say and articulate a response that actually deals with what the person you are responding to is talking about. That way maybe it will at least appear that you are making some sort of point.

"...BUT, when a group who has requested 20% of the bail out plan, who worked alongside Obama is heading the charge and encouraging people to vote one way or the other...that is oh I don't know pretty much ILLEGAL...MAK

No, it's not illegal to 'encourage' people to vote a certain way...thus advertisements. And, no, people shouldn't be 'shooting people up'...period.

No matter how far you meander, MAK, you did say the following about the homeless and voting: 'Drive homeless to polls, feed 'em and tell them to vote Obama. To which I replied that there was nothing wrong with the homeless voting and that driving people to vote is a common service offered by many different groups, including Republicans. And, all your examples have absolutely nothing to do with my statements about whether the homeless should vote and whether it's OK to DRIVE people to the polls.

Quit exaggerating...it looks ridiculous.
