NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Gov Bob Taft of Ohio was on CNN Tuesday morning and told his interviewer that in 4 counties there are more people registered to vote than there are voting age people living there. According to the Governor there are a lot of fraudulant registrations from leftist 527 groups that have been caught due to the fact that when the confirmation postcard gets sent out to the "voter" it comes back undeliverable. Its criminal activity like this which makes it that much more important that Federal Judges in several states have struck down provisions requiring so called provisional ballots to be counted.

A big problem certainly exists in a lot of places. On the left side, as you note there is a potential for over-registration. A lot of that is due to the fact that thecollege age campaign workers are paid by the number of registrants they sign up, so there is the temptation to double- and triple registrants. The problem on the right this year is democratic registrations simply being tossed or torn up rather than turned in, abd there have been several instances of this as well. Here's where the provisional ballot issue becomes a problem. These people had a legal right to be registered, thought they were registered, and only find out they are not on polling day. Their only recourse (hollow as it is) is to vote with a provisional ballot in the hope that their illegally preempted voting rights will be restored.

southsider2k5 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Is this the group that was paying a guy in crack to register voters, or is this a different problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the crack deal was Ohio too. The guy handing out the "goods" was with the NAACP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
