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

Here's a story from Denver, hoosiermama, about the mass registering of convicts onto the vote rolls there, if you hadnt run across it yet.

I think each state determines when a felon can or cannot vote?

are the dems setting up polling places at the jails, too? We wouldn't want them to be 'disenfranchised'....'that would be wroooonnnnnnngggggggg'. No. Probably Absentee ballot votes...which they already filled out most likely.

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. To be fair to Ms. Davidson, the voter registration rolls are maintained and vetted at the county level. The felony conviction/parole numbers are, no doubt, carried at the state level. And there has probably never been a serious effort to cross-check the databases.
I think what this points out is the need to start from scratch: toss out all voter registrations, and require everybody to re-register. Not just in Colorado, but everywhere.
And, as part of the registration process, voters should be required to provide, and the counties to check, information necessary to prove that the registrant is in fact eligible to vote.

"I had no idea we had that type of numbers," Davidson said.Duh!! This is typical government at work. If a boss/supervisor/manager in the private sector made a statement like this, he or she would likely be fired.
Unfortunately there are government stooges like this on both side of the aisle.

Dems are firing up the base.Witness all the mayhem and destruction against Bush/Cheney campaign offices across the country in recent days. Doesn't sound like your typical "political activist" to me...

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?

Freepers hoosiermama and liz have a few threads where they started collecting voter fraud articles.

"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?)
To: GenXFreedomFighter
Nah, you guys think too sophisticated. The purpose of registering people who you know won't vote because they are dead, in a nursing home with no faculties, are in prison, are on parole, or are illegals, is precisely because they will not be voting and there are union members and operatives who will be voting for them. By the millions I might add.

Illegal voting is the lifeblood of the Democrats. Kill it, and the Democrats die off. - Agreed!
To: esryle
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.
To: MistyCA
If I were a convicted felon, Id vote for any candidate that promised me a free ride unearned benefits, relaxing criminal laws and penalities, improving prison conditions, free access to conjugal visits from wives, girlfriends or hookers, stricter gun control laws

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.
To: esryle
my question is , once this is discovered, what is done about it?

Thanks for the ping, Misty. This is exactly why I say Bush will have to win by a landslide or heWE lose.
