South Carolina is definently going to Bush, no doubt. Lots of Bush/Cheney signs here.

I'm OK with what ever side wins, as long as it is fair. I may not want Kerry, but if he wins on the up and up, well, I can suck it up for 4 years. But voter fraud, that really makes me angry. People have died to give us the vote. Do we let people just step all over that? Voting is the ultimate right. I wish it were in the Bill of Rights, because it is the right that protects all others.

Is there anyway to see if people vote in both states? If they do they need to be prosecuted..after proving they actual did the double vote and the dems didn't vote in their place.

The Observer and WCNC compared computer records for about 7 million registered voters in both states. They found 60,000 or so people who appear to be registered in both, and up to 180 who were listed as having voted in two places in either the 2000 or 2002 general elections.

I guess they know the cheating is going on. I think if anything happens to the people who cross state lines it will have to be handled by the Feds.

I don't know for sure.

Those republicans are at it again - trying to suppress the fraud vote - how dare they!?

[TXBubba]

Thanks. I missed that in my quick read. If they voted in both locations then they need to be charged. That is the only way to keep most folks from doing it.

Takes provisional votig to a new low, doesn't it..forget wandering into the wrong precinct....they wandered into the wrong state...

He won't. The Dems have been rigging elections since the days of Tammany Hall...after what we have seen not only the DNC do to date, but the criminal activity of the MSM on top of it, don't expect ANYTHING from these people that is fair and honest. NEVER!!!

[Sister_T]

Totally agree with you!!

North Carolina officials also are investigating two groups that appear to have submitted fake voter registration cards. An advocacy group known as ACORN, for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has had trouble across the country because it pays workers to register voters, and some have decided to pad their work.

FINALLY.

Some Dimocrats that understand supply-side economics: incentives work.

Unfortunately, in this case, for an illegal outcome.

[rebel_yell2]

If the MSM can run these cross-tabs, why the HELL can't the state election officials?

Add this to the story about NC having so many people registered here and in Florida!

[Peach]

I saw that; wish there was a national registry to prevent this.

God help us. Remember too that the snowbirds in Florida reside in NY during the summer and I pray their names will be cross checked.

I am concerned about fraud and these hinky registration drives, but there probably is a good reason for some of these dual registrations.

I was thinking about this just a couple days ago. In 1998 we moved from Wisconsin to Arizona. My understanding has always been that if one votes in the presidential general election that will keep you on the voter rolls and you get purged if you miss one.

So, we voted in 1996 in Wisconsin in the general and we didn't do anything to remove our names when we moved.

When we arrived in Arizona we registered here so then a review of the voter rolls in both states would have found us "dual registered".

This is why proof of residency is so important. We have a proposition on our ballot this time that would require presenting voter ID at the polling place. Needless to say, we will vote YES.

[Howlin]

I forgot how many they found; I'll try to find the article for you.

Thanks to gore....voting will never be the same again..

[deport]

I"m not surprised that there are multiple registrations across state lines.... With a mobile society today and the fact that registrars don't clean up voting roles very frequently that is going to happen.

Who's responsibility is it to notify a state that john doe has moved to some other state and registered there? Is it John Doe or the state in which his new registration is made? It would take a heck of a lot of this dual registrations to be voted to effect the outcome in a state barring an election as close as FL was in 2000. That's an anomaly, imo.

I don't worry about this type stuff as I don't think most of these ppl are crooks planning to vote twice. jmo.
