Sister Julie McGuire said she was forced to turn away her fellow members of St. Mary's Convent in South Bend, across the street from the University of Notre Dame, because they had been told earlier that they would need such an ID to vote.

That's right. NUNS!

Voter fraud my ass. This is voter suppression, and election fraud.

"But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

That BOOM! sound you just heard were the odds on Huckabee winning in November. Primary? Who knows. General election? Goooood luck!

The Raw Story | Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in 'God's standards'

Which candidates is the computer industry giving to? What are the patterns in tobacco contributions over the last ten years? Where is the political money coming from within the agribusiness industries? You can answer this kind of question effortlessly here, with this one-of-a-kind resource.

Republicans’ use of caging has been a contentious issue ever since Debevoise’s ruling 26 years ago. In 1986, the judge found that Louisiana Republicans had violated the consent decree. In 1990, another consent decree was issued after the Republican Party of North Carolina and the re-election campaign of Republican Sen. Jesse Helms sent 125,000 postcards to mostly black voters to compile a list of voters to challenge.

Part of RICO means showing that the actions are longstanding and deliberate. Does 26 years worth of longstanding and deliberate work?

Ex-Justice official accused of aiding scheme to scratch minority voters

Asked how he could break out of a pack of second-tier candidates, Huckabee complained about a lack of media attention.

“One of the frustrations is that there is more attention on Britney Spears getting out of a car without underwear than there is about who is going to be the next president,”

Not true Mike! They don't care more about Brit's underwear than who the next president will be, they just know it won't be you and ignore you because of it.

"Mr. von Spakovsky was central to the administration's pursuit of strategies that had the effect of suppressing the minority vote," charged Joseph Rich, a former Justice Department voting rights chief who worked under him.

How does Karl Rove's party win elections? It wins them by suppressing voting and intimidating people to stay away from the voting booth. I think we can start with violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and head from there to RICO.

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 05/20/2007 | Efforts to stop `voter fraud' may have curbed legitimate voting

So why would an FBI profiler who went after the Unabomber take time from his busy day to even think about a municipal election snafu?

Fitzgerald is mum. But when the bureau heard about this from Page Two, it immediately launched an internal review of the agent's involvement.

"We're looking into it," bureau spokeswoman Ann Todd said.

Hey look! Voter fraud that DoJ doesn't care about! I'd love someone to explain why they're all up in arms over there about voter fraud but aren't going after this one. (She's a right wing nut job doesn't count, that's the real reason, I want the one that will be publically acceptable)

FBI agent steps into Coulter voting case

A number of election law experts, based on their own research, have concluded that the accusations regarding widespread fraud are unjustified. And in this case, one of the two experts hired to do the report was Job Serebrov, a Republican elections lawyers from Arkansas, who defended his research in an e-mail message obtained by The Times that was sent last October to Margaret Sims, a commission staff member.

Voter fraud? Bullshit. Not there. Voter supression/intimidation? Hell yeah.

Hey Republicans? Bull Connor would be proud of you.

But lawyers for Jennings had not even seen the letter from ES&S until recently; it was not provided to them by election officials as it should have been under discovery motions in the case, Hirsch said. Instead, the legal team came across the document on a North Carolina-based website on election reform.

Sarasota County election officials clearly had seen the letter, though, because they referred to it in a series of emails that were among the thousands of pages of documents that were provided to Jennings's legal team. "It wasn't clear until we saw the letter what the emails were about," Hirsch said.

And we're back to the last election again because it was botched. Way to go Sarasota! And whose seat was that before the election? Why Katherine Harris' of course!

Mail in early voting undervotes were at 2.6%. In person early voters came to central locations and voted on iVotronic touch screens like those used in the general election. Undervotes by that method ran 17.6%. There is no reason for a difference of 15 points other than the one provided by Coffey in the Jennings case: voting machine malfunction by the iVotronics. As a result, 14,000 Sarasota County voters lost their constitutional rights.

Any more questions about touch screen voting machines and the need for a paper trail? It looks like the correct margin in the House should be 235-200.
