Breaking: GOP Caught Red Handed, Election Fraud in Indiana
There's a story developing in La Porte County, Indiana. It seems a voter purge in 2011 went rogue. The local GOP successfully purged about 20% of our voters—%16 of them illegally, it seems. Fortunately, they were caught red handed at the last minute, and County scrambles to get eligible voters back in system.
In today's paper, La Porte County Democratic Chair John Jones has called for Federal Investigation of election fraud here. http://www.heraldargus.com/articles/2012/10/24/news/local/doc50872d6ed7555164195815.txt If that 80% error rate holds for the entire purge, about 4% were removed correctly. That's in the normal range. Local headlines assure us we'll get back the whole 20%. Our Election Board is REALLY embarrassed that they were alerted to this very problem in February, but failed to correct it. .......

country as illegitimate because of all the stories swirling around these voter purge irregularities. We've got well paid companies tossing valid registration forms in dumpsters, and repuke Sec's of State, unceremoniously, dropping folks like flies from voter rolls. And then there's the trickery happening in PA, where people are still being told they need to show ID, even though the court ruled otherwise.
Romney will be as unpopular as Bush was, and they'll have to start WW III to get his numbers up, just so they can rape the earth for Rmoney's big money donors.  |

I voted in the last local election (May?) and also did jury service this summer, but apparently that isn't enough civic participation to remain active on the rolls.
They let me vote after showing ID and filling out two forms. 
Voter disqualification is prevalent everywhere, it seems, and the preferred GOP tactic to win the election.  |
