The Justice Department is expected to allege that eligible voters' rights were violated when they were turned away at the polls because their names appeared on the inactive list - and were sent to long lines at election headquarters for an opportunity to vote there.

I don't quite understand this. Wasn't it in St. Louis where polls were kept open after closing time? But the suit is because they wouldn't let people who's names were on the inactive list vote?

And this:

Tate's position paper, representing the views of the Election Board, included offers to hire more election judges to staff the polls and to buy more voting machines for use at headquarters itself for eligible voters who happen to be on the "inactive voter list."

If they are on the inactive list, they are not eligible. This makes no sense.

There are still 55,000 people on the list, created from voter identification cards returned in the mail as undeliverable.

This means that the person has moved, and did not value the voting process enough to re-register or make sue the elections board had their new address. I have no sympathy for them. The other reason why the cards were "undeliverable" is because the person is either deceased or non-existent.

Folks, I think this is all a scam. Neither party seems to want to do anything about REAL voter fraud, i.e. dead people voting, multiple voting, precinct workers pubching ballots, illegals voting, "bussing" in people who had no intention of voting, giveing homeless people money and cigs to vote etc...

This is all lip service to the big problem.

If I remember correctly, and perhaps someone more familiar with this can shed some light, there were TWO problems. One was the holding the polls open in certain key (democrat precincts). The other problem was this one.

If Justice files a suit against an election board (like this one) I believe the election board will be very careful on the next go-around. Note how they desperately tried to avoid this suit.

Once Justice starts a suit like this, they get to go over all sorts of records. Sort of like the Florida suit filed against the whining democrat counties for civil rights violations...only the violations ended up being against the Haitians and some others, not the Jesse Jackson type complainers.
