A Big Increase of New Voters in Swing States

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A sweeping voter registration campaign in heavily Democratic areas has added tens of thousands of new voters to the rolls in the swing states of Ohio and Florida, a surge that has far exceeded the efforts of Republicans in both states, a review of registration data shows.

The analysis by The New York Times of county-by-county data shows that in Democratic areas of Ohio - primarily low-income and minority neighborhoods - new registrations since January have risen 250 percent over the same period in 2000. In comparison, new registrations have increased just 25 percent in Republican areas. A similar pattern is apparent in Florida: in the strongest Democratic areas, the pace of new registration is 60 percent higher than in 2000, while it has risen just 12 percent in the heaviest Republican areas.

My daughter and her room mate at the University of Cincinnati (raised here in Kentucky) registered in Ohio last month. They figured Bush will carry Kentucky by 15 to 20 percent, so they did not need to vote here, but would add two votes for Bush to Ohio.

"In my damn state, Wisconsin, registering them is the key. ANYONE can vote absentee, and they cannot check your ID at the polls. You just need to state who you are. Not hard for activists to vote in 10 different polling stations."

I heard that in Pa. ACT-up is going to retirement/nursing homes to "register" voters and "assist" them in their absentee ballot. Pretty scary stuff if you ask me. Isn't there a law against this?

Sounds like the dead have risen again. I would bet that if the NY !@%#$ dug a little deeper they'd find that 249% of the newbies are fraudulent. This smells of C--BS.

"We've seen voter fraud before, but never on this level," Coulson said Thursday. "I grew up in Chicago and this looks like the politics of Mayor Daley in the '50s and '60s."


Conservatives and Republicans need to turn out in record numbers! That's the only way we can beat these demonRats!

This is NYT: beware.

Here in SW Ohio, the highest numbers for registration are in suburban counties, which are heavily Republican.

[AmericaUnited]

Some of these people might vote, but most just wanted ACORN or ACT to go away.

BINGO! Where as the new GOP voter ARE motivated to get out and actually vote.

This is very serious news - and possibly the first sign that the Democrat 527's and their efforts for voter registration has done a much better job than our ground efforts? -

Simple facts of looking at voter registration lists and the actual number of increase can't be "spun" by the liberal media.

This is one of those areas were the gravel meets the pavement - Now that registration deadlines are approaching there will be simply evidence available showing who signed up more "new" voters and who didn't -

The Democrats will use this for voter fraud, no doubt. But still, hopefully our ground game didn't get out worked in these key States.

Showing ID before voting needs to become the law -

Ditto here. They go to Group homes and have a "party", then they "assist" them in filling out their absentee ballot.

The dead, the near dead and the brain dead. The backbone of the Democratic Party.

Showing ID before voting needs to become the law -

Including having absentee ballots arrive certified mail, ID on receipt required

I am afraid we are in for RAT fraud and cheating at an unprecedented level this election. This article confirms some of my suspicions, and the tepid GOP response tells me that we are unprepared to deal with it.

ACT, Soros, and others are stealing this election before our very eyes.

You know, this is the same stuff that was touted in 2000! Four basic facts should help keep the razor out of our hands and keep us from sliting our wrists!
1. The media ALWAYS pumps up the efforts of Dems and Dem/Leftist groups. The Conservative groups are always under the radar.
2. Do you really believe ANYTHING that comes out of the N.Y. Times?? They are nearly as bad as CBS.
3. There is lots of evidence to suggest that the younger vote is actually more conservative that the Old Lib. generation. Polls consistently show a move toward the right. While they are not exactly died in the wool Conservatives yet, they are not Bush haters!
4. There is also lots of evidence to suggest that this voter block has the WORST turnout percentage of all groups.
So, boys and girls, don't hit the panic button yet. Bush is headed for victory!

SO how can we combat this? Follow the buses with video cameras? Call the police when they stop at multiple polls? We NEED to hit hard on this fraud or our elections will be as worthless as Saddam's last re-election (99%).

Imagine what democrats would do if they had NO FEAR of being voted out next election?
