It happened to me, it can happen to you:

[Kenergy]

I checked to see if I was registered to vote about a week ago by going to my local
Board of Election website, and it showed that I was registered.

I checked it again today, and it now says that I AM NOT registered to vote.

People, CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know if this has happened to you.

36. Right. Wrong website too

Should we wait until they steal the 4th election in a row and then post on Democratic Under-underground?

5. Today, anything can "happen"

I am on the "watch list"

I miss every initial air-flight because the idiots at TSA screw with me, incessantly.

And I am the 2nd-most-decorated enlisted man in the history of the US Navy.

[Bassic]

24. Is your skin brown?

That's all these fucking idiots seem to understand.

[TomInTib]

27. I don't know what the hell it is.

And they are not telling me, either.

[Bassic]

28. Bunch of fucking assholes.

You know what, what probably happened is that the first fucking idiot who brought you aside couldn't find anything and that frustrated him, so he put out your name on some list of people to be scrutinezed. And every one of them who doesen't find anything gets even more frustrated, it's a viscious cycle.

[Straight Shooter]

29. Maybe you've been targeted for being an outspoken political activist.

2nd most decorated, and they're harassing you? That makes me sick and it makes me mad as hell. :grr:

[Scriptor Ignotus]

38. according to 60 Minutes two weeks ago

if your name is "Robert Johnson" you were flagged and screened.

[Bassic]

45. Waaa?

:wtf:

What the hell is wrong with that name?

[Scriptor Ignotus]

51. i think they said

it was the name of a IRA terrorist or something like that. To add insult to injury, I believe they said he died a few years ago.

52. This is so friggin stupid

I can hardly believe my eyes.

[lonestarnot]

6. So what do you intend to do about it?

[Kenergy]

15. I'll be calling them today for an explanation

[Kenergy]

20. Then I'll be contacting the media n/t

[lonestarnot]

46. Blog some freeway signs about it while your at it. And it's now night.

What did they say?

[Kenergy]

55. A friend of mine had the same problem...

I e-mailed the local BOE that night and she e-mailed the webmaster; when I woke up the next day ready
to wage a holy jihad on them, she got a reply and relayed it to me...the story was that our local BOE
computer sent a "partial extract" of data to the main NC database.
I'm not a database expert, but I think what happened was the NC BOE was trying to purge us but got caught, and lo and behold, just like magic, we were reinstated to the database that day.
I have used that website to check my registration for years and years, never had a problem, but
on the very day that early voting started, we were all of a sudden not in the voter database.
Coincidence?
Don't know, but as my friend pointed out, at least they know we're watching their every move on this
election.

[lonestarnot]

56. fooking excellent!

:patriot: keep on slugg'n!

[wtmusic]

7. especially those who live in tight-race districts nt

[StraightDope]

8. I'll be kajiggered...

The same thing happened to me also! I went to the WV secretary of state website to check my polling place, and lo and behold, I magically wasn't registered in my precinct. Luckily, WV is heavily Democratic in general, but I certainly don't appreciate the disenfranchisement.

[cui bono]

9. I was going to check on myself because I have yet to receive the official

sample ballot that comes from the County Registrar-Recorder and tells me my polling place. (I know my polling place, but I think this might mean I got purged!) I did receive the Voter Information Guide and the Voter Information Pamphlet from the City Clerk and Secretary of State.

[lumpy]

10. I just checked by internet to see if I and members

of my family are registered to vote. In the state of Washington you can go to Wash.state election board online. They list all election questions and will verify registration; got instant answer showing that we are all registered. In Sno.county we now vote by mail; haven't recieved ballot yet;they are required to have those available 18 days before election;I am going to check with our county auditor to see when they will be sent. http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/

[WA98296]

11. I believe ballots were suppose to go out on Wednesday (yesterday)....

By the way: Howdy, Snohomish County!

[lumpy]

12. Thanks for the info. We have been wondering

when the ballots will arrive. Can't miss this election...Howdy to you!

[KAZ]

22. Try going to your local elections site.

Clink on the link right below the drop down on the main page (above link). My county wasn't on the main drop down, but I was able to ascertain my status when I navigated to my county's elections site.

[livvy]

39. Don't know....

Maybe all the voters in the state were purged. :shrug:

[dailykoff]

59. Great site. thanks!

I'm going to put the link in my signature :)

That is also my district and it makes me so sad that I can't vote for local democrats cause ....
THERE AREN"T ANY!!

I know this is a problem all over this country. I wish it were different! I join you in your :cry:

[Norquist Nemesis]

32. I'm with you! You'ld think that with no other Democrats running

there would be plenty of time to get out there and work for Shannon. *sigh*

[me b zola]

33. k&r

Mr Zola and I have only recieved one pamphlet so far...no ballots. I'll check our status today.

[sybylla]

34. This is why we should push for same day registration in every state

It's ridiculous that the power to prevent anyone from voting on election day can reside in local and state officials who may be incompetent or conniving.

Wisconsin has same day registration. They delete registrations from the voter file and the poll workers have a little more work to do that day. It can slow things down but it can't keep anyone from voting.

[mnhtnbb]

35. What county in NC?

Thanks, perhaps the most beneficial post I've read in weeks.

41. Bill Clinton said; "Rove is out to win..." this is BS.

[HockeyMom]

44. I changed my Address and my Party Affiliation

I got two separate cards in the mail about 2 months apart saying I am registered. Both my daughters, who changed their address with the DMV but not the Election Board (which I did), also got cards in the mail (new address) saying they are registered to vote.


I don't know. Maybe New York State likes Democrats?

[kainah]

47. Thank you, Wyoming

for same day registration. There's no advantage to playing this kind of game. Same day registration should exist everywhere.

[ThoughtCriminal]

48. Especially if your address has changed recently

If election mail bounces back some states will remove you.
Call or drop by your County Recorder's Office.

50. Got this email today "Wake Up And Smell The Voter PURGE"

Tell The DNC To WAKE UP And Immediately Seek An Injunction To Reverse
The Purge Of Democratic Voters In Ohio

ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/pnum540.php

You had to know this was coming. The further they fall in the polls the
more massive the voter fraud and preemptive vote suppression the other
side will attempt. The key word here is "attempt". We're not supposed
to let them get away with it without a fight. That fight must start
NOW!

Reports are breaking that the pathologically partisan Ohio secretary of
state has been secretly using the master database of voters to
systematically purge hundreds of thousands of likely Democratic voters
from the registered rolls. Their latest version of an old scam is to
put a discriminatory burden on voters in heavily Democratic precincts to
meet a special hurdle of verification of their address, a guilty until
proven innocent routine. And they have been doing this without any
public notice that such a massive operation was underway, and timed in
such a way that voters would have no recourse to re-register.

Never again will we allow such outrages against democracy to go
unchallenged by the fullest force we can bring to bear. Bob Fitrakis,
who has been fighting the election criminals in Ohio for years, has
announced he will file a lawsuit no later than this coming Monday.
Please tell the DNC, and also the Ohio Democratic party (if you are an
Ohio resident), to bring every resource to bear to join in this battle
for the soul of our electoral process

ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/pnum540.php

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to
be ours.

57. Me Too! (Ohio, of course)

I moved a few months ago and sent in my registration form. About a week ago I decided to check where my new precinct is located because I was never sent a card. According to the Ohio Secretary of State website, I am not registered at either my old or new address. I contacted my county Election Board and they have me listed. They couldn't explain the mistake. I'm expecting to fill-out a provisional ballot just the same.

My concern is how many people won't know to follow-up at the county level. Joe Voter will look up his name, not find it, and simply figure he isn't allowed to vote. The very cynical part of me wonders how many Ds are being 'accidentally' left off the list. :(

[etherealtruth]

58. i flipped out earlier this morning when I first read your post ....

I went to a link only to be informed that I wasn't registered ... despite the fact that I vote in all elections.

I then checked my mothers voter registration status ... again I was told she wasn't registered (my parents are the ones that taught me to vote in ALL elections).

Mercifully I just rechecked (the site must have been down or busy) but it verifies that I (and my mom) are indeed registered to vote.
