Tim Robbins vs. Elections Board, Round 2

[DogPoundPup]

On Election Day, the actor Tim Robbins obtained a court order from a State Supreme Court judge in Manhattan directing the Board of Elections to allow him to vote. Mr. Robbins’s experience — chronicled by The Times and also reported widely in other news outlets — seemed to embody the confusion and frustration many voters have encountered with New York City’s antiquated voting system.

But now the story has gotten even more complicated — and no less confusing.

1. well, that's very fishy.

2. So, my first question is: WHO filed that new registration card for him at his

office address (which is certainly public information), using his full name (which HE apparently does not)? WHO tried to interfere with his right to vote?

How many other people have had their voter registration changed without their knowledge?

3. were there any large-scale voter registration drives in 2004, like the ones ACORN was involved with-

this time around? :shrug:

one question- does the registration card have a signature? it should be easy enough to figure out if it's robbins' signature. there may even be a paper trail as to where/when the registration was made...?

i hope this story continues to be followed until there's some resolution.
