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!

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)

Good grief, this is as dumb an idea as that Austin homeless haven deal... giving them a street corner to call home, and to "pee for free" on.

How is this even going to work? I moved during the 2K election and had the biggest run around on "proving" I was eligible to vote and WHERE I was "allowed" to vote. I had to have all kind of "proof."

For the record, in Houston the "homeless hangout" is pretty much the downtown bus station... like Grey Hound bus. Talk about rift-raft central.
