Keep a record of the names and make a copy of the forms. Supply that record to the Louisiana GOP and the Louisiana courts and SOS so the voter rolls there are purged. The LA GOP can supervise the purging process, given that clearly defined names will be available with photocopies of the new registration documents in new states.

Just my opinion, but I think the RATs will claim that the intent of all these fine, upstanding voters, is to return to their homes and they should not be "disenfranchised" in this way.

The only fair solution is to let them vote in both their new location and in NO for as long as they live. They were displaced, they deserve to become "supercitizens".

This is what scares me. We know the Democrats made a deliberate effort to get college students in Wisconsin to vote at college and back home and they got away with it. They will certainly try to get these Ninth Ward evacuees to vote in both Louisiana and wherever they are living. This could seriously screw up elections in Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee, where most of them went. There is no way the Republicans can keep them from voting absentee in Louisiana, but we will have to be very vigilant to make sure they are not registering to vote where they are now.

Look at it this way, if they are voting absentee in LA, they can't be rounded up on those school buses and brought to the polls, they can't vote two or three times, they can't go vote for the dead people, and the ward bosses can't go passing out $20 bills and pints of whiskey to them. So the 90-100% turnouts will not happen, and this could screw the Democrats.

You hit the nail on the head. The key words here are "intent" and "disenfranchised."
Since we already know how they intend to vote we should probably just take the democratic results from the last election and apply it to the new election--minus the death toll.
Wait a minute did that darn hurricane wipe out every Republican in the New Orleans? I think it did.
So that said we just automatically add up the dem votes from last time--plus 20% because I think more people would have voted this time to show their appreciation for the party. And we should also let the victims vote where they're currently residing as well after all, we don't want them to feel disenfranchised.

Isn't this where Motor voter is a good thing? As soon as they get their new driver's license they should also be registered to vote in their new locations. I thought people were supposed to do that within 30 days.
