Random thoughts from a PR/Marketing Guru turned non-profit worker traveling the world helping homeless street kids.

It seem that hundreds of Republican voters have now been disenfranchised in the state of Florida because of some Democrats-only voter registrations that have been taking place. This new disenfranchisement in Florida is now being investigated by the state's Election Division and the US Justice.

This all happened when one of the Democratic Party fundraising organizations, ACORN, began to register new voters. Now, while I applaud anyone for getting more people registered to vote and encouraging people to get involved in the political discussion roundtable, what "ACORN" did is outright criminal. It turns out that "quality control" workers for ACORN routinely kicked out Republican voter registrations while accepting Democratic ones under the assumption that "they had already collected enough Republican voters and needed more Democratic ones."

There were three boxes of Republican registrations that were tossed out, without anyone notifing the actual person that there registration was not accepted. Now there are hundreds of Rebuplican voters who are going to show up at the polls because they registered to vote at "registration booths" around town and are going to find that they will not be allowed to vote, because ACORN thought that they had collected enought Republican votes.

Now my question is: What gives ACORN the right to decide who can vote and who cannot? Sounds like dirty politics to me.

Ah I was looking around the original article, citahellion. Thanks for your helpful info, I found it.

drmiler, your help is as helpful as guy who tells the captain that his ship is sinking, when water level is at ankles. I do know what to look for, I was just looking at original article, not your reply. As a guy that's attending college to be computer network adminisrator, I do know something n how internet and the compter works. If I sound very blunt, it's because it's late for me.

If you do Dems then you have to give Reps the *same* options NOT do it is the same as throwing out a filled in card. In most states in the union what your doing is illegal. I'm not sure about MO, but in CA you'd go to jail!

No, not illegal, the option is always present, and I have registered a few Bush supporters (mostly friends), but when I ask who the person is voting for and they say "Bush"while staring at my Kerry button, they often don't have anything more to say to me.

I'm sorry if my help was not all that helpful. I've worked with computers professionally for close to 12years and was a netwok administrator for 3 of them. So telling me your going to college for that is beside the point. How was I to know that you knew what to look for?

The major papers in my state Fla. did some un-official hand counts of the 2000 election and it appears that Bush did in fact win more votes than Gore. Not by much, true and of course these were not counts sanctioned by the State of Fl. Elections Sup.

And now this: Kerry had a cheat sheet for the debate! Check Drudge out on this one. It seems that as the two lads walked out on stage, well Kerry was caught by the 2nd camera pocketing or removing from his pocket this sheet. He was facing the camera head on and therefore didnt spot the one on the side. The audience wasnt able to see this little slight of hand either but the Sony Professional did, nontheless, with the exception of HONEST network reporting on FOX this sneaky little bastard got caught red handed, and this effing cheat wants to run the country???

Oh, btw, the Supreme court decision is/was 100% kosher. When a situation occurs like the 2000 election fiasco this is the legal procedure to be followed. Hey, the Liberal DemocRats use the courts to get their own way all the time, just they got beat at their own game on that one. Anyway, Bush is a shoe-in.

Finally, the GOP did something similar to what the democRats did with the voter reg. forms back when Jeb was running for 2nd term here as I recall. This is why we have to trust the machines, not the poll workers.

Sorry, I were being unnecessarily blunt.

Some of news networks now says it was a black pen.

ACORN is an idiot fringe group, like People for the American Way, GLADD, etc. Their agenda's are always to the left of Genghis Khan. Best to ignore them.
