[Josh in PA]

Dems are firing up the base.

[DSBull]

Look at it this way folks, if you are so disparate that you have to go trolling for bottom feeders to get them to vote for you, then you must have given up on regular folks long ago..

BUSH/CHENEY '04

[bitt]

are the dems setting up polling places at the jails, too? We wouldn't want them to be 'disenfranchised'....'that would be wroooonnnnnnngggggggg'........

[demlosers]

I wonder how many felons really do vote?

My guess, it's less than 25%.

[blackdog]

How stupid can a secretary of state be? If you have 20,000 felony convictions per year, I'd imagine you'd have 20,000 felons ineligible to vote. Not exactly rocket science dearie.

How do these people get a paycheck?

[RISU]

I would appreciate it if they could find those who "orchestrated" this event, in registering 6000 felons, and put them in court. The death penalty would be appropriate I think.

"I had no idea we had that type of numbers," Davidson said. "You have to wonder if they're malicious or inept in the secretary of state's office.

Illegal voting is the lifeblood of the Democrats. Kill it, and the Democrats die off.

Illegal aliens, felons, the dead, and the senile are the Democrat core constituency. And Asa Hutchinson says we can't get rid of the illegals. Remember Asa Hutchinson is we lose.

[finnman69]

I assume these names are being purged. The article only mentions a meeting to discuss this issue.

[kpp_kpp]

Is anyone starting to see the wisdom of this country's founders when the original voting block was "property owners"?

I'm not trying to be racist or sexist but maybe there was something to it. Does anyone have more insight on any background material regarding this?

[sirchtruth]

Please remove me OFF this ping list.

Thanks.

[Henchman]

They will spin this too. Depriving " " of their rights; the REPS are causing vote stuffing; that is why they asked the UN etc. Seems the Republicans should have been investigating voter fraud from the last election, wherever it may have fallen. Instead they treated the fraud in the smae manner BUSH reacted in the first debate..

I personally believe the DEMS are the real crooks, BUT why haven't the REPS resonded / acted? Dirty hands too?

[meyer]

the cure is simple - have the police wait undercover for the felons to show up and then arrest them on the spot.

[Calpernia]

PING

[GenXFreedomFighter]

Looks like a PR campaign by the 'Rats to me. Register thousands of felons to vote, then have someone discover that all these felons are registered and then purge them from the rolls, and then cry about disenfranchisement when the felons show up to vote and are turned away. Then, of course, find a Republican to blame for it all.

Is the Secretary of State in CO a Dumbocrat or a Republican?

[Kerfuffle]

"Every ineligible elector that votes cancels the vote of an eligible elector..."

OK, this guy is officially as inept as the Secretary of State's office. (Of course, if you're serious about enforcing a dumb law like this, would it be most effective to jail a few of the Sec. of State workers who abbetted its violation?)

[ColdSteelTalon]

I think felons should be able to vote again if they can prove "over time" that they can obey the law. Otherwise what incentive is there for them to even try to live clean.

[DoSomethingAboutIt]

Would it be possible to improve the voting situation over the Internet? By which I mean maybe we have people post their state's voter registration lists so the whole coutnry can take a look at it. Fact check the registration lists like we fact check the MSM.

I haven't put a whole lot of thought into this so don't blast me if I have missed something obvious. I know if we wait on the government to fix this voter fraud nothing will ever happen.

[pollywog]

my question is , once this is discovered, what is done about it?

[backhoe]

Click the picture & goto "last" for the latest on Vote Fraud:

[eiffel]

I live in Denver and participated in some voter reg events this past summer for the Republican party. I'm actually surprised that only 536 felons were registered this year, given the situation.

At least one organization was using paid canvassers, operating on a quota, to register voters. Most of these people were kids who couldn't find any other job (much like the dollar-per-signature petitioners) so they had enormous incentive to register as many people as possible with little recourse to the law.
I was even asked to register again "just to make sure," because "it can't hurt to be careful" by a canvasser outside a grocery store.

Now the state is being inundated with voting-related lawsuits and complaints, i.e. a current suit involving provisional ballots. Many of the voter reg forms turned in were incomplete or filled out incorrectly, giving more ammo the the "disenfranchised voter" crowd.
The SoS is a R, but it seems to me she hasn't handled the situation very well and is passing the buck and vacillating on this sort of thing. I doubt this will be resolved by Nov 2.

BTW, given the demographics of the state, I don't think that this will help the Dems significantly, even if all 6006 vote. The only thing that will prevent all 9 votes from going to Bush will be Amendment 36 (splitting the electoral votes according to precentages). It's going to be a political circus come Nov 3rd.
