I'm amazed the author is naive enough to either offer on his own, or accepts blindly from the offending groups the phrase "
The two national, nonpartisan groups". Where has this guy been?
No group that is led by David Leland could possibly be labeled as nonpartisan. After all, he was the Ohio Dim State Chairman. I was sad to see him leave that post a couple of years ago. Under his leadership, the GOP won nearly every state wide election - as well as took control of both the house and the state senate. I think the only Dim to wwin a state wide election was lee Fisher for Attorney general several years ago. With people like Taft though, I use the term GOP with my tongue planted in my cheek.

Here is a followup from today's paper. While listening to Jim Quinn in Pittsburgh, it sounds like this kind of crap is going on all over the country.
TWO FIRED OVER BOGUS VOTER-REGISTRATION FORMS
Nonprofit group promises more steps to ensure accuracy

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
A nonprofit group registering low-income and minority voters in Franklin County has fired two temporary workers thought to be the source of fake names and forged signatures on official registration forms.
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also has agreed to perform extra checks on forms turned in by its voter-registration workers before submitting them to the Franklin County Board of Elections, the group's head organizer said yesterday.
The Franklin County sheriff's office is investigating complaints to the elections board from people who have received voter ID cards based on information they never submitted or for people who don't exist. Others who never registered through the group and its partner, Project Vote, caught the problem when the board asked them to submit information missing from their forms.
Group organizer Katy Gall met yesterday with elections board officials and said the problems were traced through initials on registration cards to three workers. Two were fired and a third already had quit.
The group, which says it has registered 23,000 new voters in Franklin County since last fall, also will begin using board of elections computers to verify the accuracy of registration cards it collects, Gall said.
She said the group already had been verifying cards with telephone numbers listed, about 75 percent of its total.
"I don't think it's systemic,'' Gall said. "Part of the problem is we went from 200 cards a week to 400 a day. We just have to keep on top of them.''
Board of Elections Director Matt Damschroder said workers in his office will continue with their own checks as well.

I worked in Columbus long ago when they passed an election-day voter registration bill. We got rid of it in a referendum but it was in place for the referendum. I resisted the temptation to write a letter to the editor urging voters who opposed the bill to be sure to vote against it several times.

This is my point on the hyperventilation about electronic voting machines. While vote tabulation systems can be subject to abuse - voter registration is a case of classic
asleep at the switch governmental process that almost
guarantees abuse. The entire voting process has to be looked at, from start to finish, and subjected to modern business process and quality assurance methods.
There is a ton of Supreme Court verbiage about "one man - one vote" in the context of racial discrimination. Today it is more likely that one man has .99999943 votes - due to the dilution caused by illegal voters (felons, non-citizens, dead people, non-residents, college students voting in two jurisdictions, etc., etc., etc.). It's time to focus the vehement objection to vote dilution heard in the civil rights era to all voters and that means cleaning up the process from start to finish. There is no reason that six sigma levels of quality could not be implemented in voting.

Ohio, huh? No doubt we will also hear reports of Republicans chasing away voters in black neighborhoods.

Damschroder says the "blatantly false'' registration forms were turned in by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also known as ACORN, and Project Vote, a group headed by a former Ohio Democratic Party chairman.The two national, nonpartisan groups are working together locally to register minority and low-income voters.

"discovered"? Nothing new in this ... they've been cheating and breaking the law in order to steal elections for a VERY long time.

I would change the voting laws to force everyone to show up in person to sign up and show up at least once every four years and show proof of identity and address to stay on the voter rolls. If you can't find five minutes once every FOUR YEARS, you probably are too busy to know what you are voting on anyway.

Non-partisan. Uh huh.
The dems whine on and on about President Bush stealing the election, yet any time evidence of vote irregularities and outright fraud surface, it's linked to a democrat.

How's this for non-partisan:
http://www.workingforchange.com/
This is the parent website that is linked to for voter registration by the ACORN website. (www.acorn.org)
Project Vote links back to the exact same voter registration site held by the 'non-partisan' workingforchange.com. From the PV website: "Project Vote is a 501 (c) (3) non-partisan, nonprofit organization."

"Project Vote, a group headed by a former Ohio Democratic Party chairman"
Aha! Another fictitious group, with fictitious principles, fictitious morality and fictitious patriotism! Why not a fictitious electorate to go along with it!
BTW-don't expect to see anything about this on the news tonite, unless it's on Fox.

I've had to show proof of identity before. I think it was the first time I voted. Anyway, I ALWAYS take my ID in with me so I have it if asked. I live in small town Iowa, so, they all know me and never ask for it!! But I like your idea A LOT!!
To: tang-soo
If not for vote fraud, the RATS would lose about a third of the elections they now win.
Their fraud is so rampant that they get courts to approve it!
In the 2000 election, a motion was filed in a court in St. Louis claiming that voter turnout was so high that many people were having trouble voting and the polls needed to be kept open past scheduled closing time to allow these people to vote.
The people who filed this motion... someone who was NOT registered to vote and A DEAD MAN!
Yet the court ordered the polls to remain open. Later another court reversed the ruling, but the damage and fraud was already done.
