They should take lessons from milwaukee 2004: Smokes for votes! Gets the homeless to fill out absentee ballots every time!!!

And if they're lucky and have a liberal DA, if they get any fine it will be a slap on the wrist.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

[GeronL]

You don't need an address or an ID.

Illegals are voting, and we do nothing to stop it.

[GeronL]

Texas ping??

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....... But homeless people can also use intersections. ........

This effort could draw attention to this matter.

They could probably get Teddy to send them some cases of rotgut that didn't make the grade at Seagram's. These "voters" wouldn't notice the difference.

Groups registering homeless voters -
Organizer says turnout likely will be very low

Excerpt:

Voters don't have to own a home or have a permanent address to register, although in Texas they do have to provide an address on their applications. SEARCH allows new registrants to use its Midtown address. But homeless people can also use intersections.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

[Alas Babylon!]

FIXED: Reese-Kesseler said SEARCH's clients care about the same issues that are important to most communist voters — jobs, health care and the war in Iraq getting rid of Bush and electing a socialist in his place.

Ha, I just knew this was going to be a story about Houston. Can you say, Do-You-Know-Who-I-Am Jackson-Lee (D-Houston)? Not that they're going to actually vote unless there's booze and smokes at the door and they're bussed in. So, they don't need addresses to vote, but what about proof of American citizenship? One wouldn't think there be many homeless who bother carrying around their papers.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....Neither group is pushing specific candidates or issues, but rather are encouraging people to be informed and participate, organizers said. ...

What a crock!

[Texan5]

These "homeless" creatures are total losers-there is no reason for anyone to be homeless unless they are too lazy to do anything, which is their choice. Rather than getting them to vote, pass a law against vagrancy and get them off the streets and from under the bridges.

I guess with using intersections instead of addresses, it would be difficult to ever verify the existence of someone. I think they're planning some pretty large-scale voter fraud.

More insanity. Pass the Mad Dog 20/20 please. (Hic)

[AmishDude]

It doesn't matter. You get the names and then you have a busfull of people going from precinct to precinct voting under those names.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Ahhhhhhhh.

[AmishDude]

Once you understand voter fraud, you see how it is aided and abetted.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Thanks for a good lesson.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, yeah. I'm sure.
