The group that uncovered evidence of large-scale illegal voting by felons in Minnesota's contested 2008 Senate race says the whole mess might have been prevented if the federal government had just done its job.
The federal government is required under the Civil Rights Act and the Help America Vote Act to make sure that states purge their voter rolls of ineligible voters the dead, those who have moved, felons, undocumented immigrants, etc. and to ensure that elections are administered and conducted fairly, said Dan McGrath, executive director of Minnesota Majority.
But the conservative watchdog group's review of Minnesota's voting records found that the government apparently did not fulfill that obligation in the state in 2008, which in turn affected the number of voters whose ballots were counted -- and possibly the outcome of the dead-heat election.

“They knew when to take a nap.”
Other than keeping out foreign invaders (uhh...until recently), please enumerate all the things that the feds actually do well.

Sounds like Juan Mc Amnesties campaign strategy!
Uhh, take a nap?
The Democrat's destroy America campaign strategy.
And Lindsay Graham and how many other Republicans are gonna vote for Kagan.
I’m still pissed at Olympia Snowe for her “yes” committee health care vote “to move the process along”. These people will have blood on their hands.
The GOP is in some ways worse than the rats...at least with the rats you know what they’re after while the GOP pretends to be the opposition. Why are Snowe, Collins, Graham etc. not thrown out of the Republican party? Why does the GOP throw leftists at us and call them right wing? I think to the people pulling the strings this whole thing is just a joke on the stupid citizens who actually believe their crap.
Don't be shy - only the person you FReepmail will know who you are.
I feel the same way.
I’d rather get shot in the face, than in the back.
At least I know the dems are gonna shoot me, I hate getting shot in the back by someone who claims to be my pal.
This will get no traction, our RINOs will “reach across the isle”, and extend a hand of friendship in the name of “bipartisan good faith”.
Phooey on all that jazz. RNC: Keep your “mavericks” and your “bi-partisan” gentlemen.
I think its time we started hiring some of the strategists from the DNC, they are whores I’m sure and would work for the highest bidder. At least they know how to fight a fight.
I swear, I think its so rigged, I am sure that McCain and Graham and a bunch of the rest are the result of the behind the scenes gerrymandering and deal making. These loons have a greater chance each week of attacking a conservative, than they do of growing a spine and standing up to a liberal. Someone has to be giving them marching orders from the left.
keep us posted, when it’s ok to do so !!!
Head South a bit into Wisconsin and you have to add cold meds to the list as well. I guess the poor, minorities, and felons never get the sniffles.
Franken should resign or forfeit his life
In this case there would be no difference...
Let’s see if Minnesotan’s have the cajones to force a recall of this senator and maybe a special election...He’s going to be there for 6 year people, y’all have some time to get this done...And even if it looks like a fools errand from their point of view, then you should press the issue or fire some people anyway because of their inaction this November...No matter what their political affiliation is...
If the fraud is significant as they say, then why tell the people that and not follow through without waiting for the outcry from the people of that state...
Get it done Minnesota...Your entire state and people’s credibility are at stake here, unless you don’t care about such things...Then it just proves my point that y’all do not have any credibility, or just have the guts to take care of your own house...
I don’t think you do...So prove me wrong...
This is your mess, y’all have to prove you can clean it up and regain some semblance of credibility...
I’d start with those responsible for the voter registration drives like ACORN and SEIU...Start going after those shlups...But like I said, I don’t think y’all have the guts...
Go ahead and waste your time telling me I’m wrong...That just proves you do not have the guts to go after the real problem...
Uhhh, I ain’t got nothing...
But if you were able to gleen the performance of the Armed Services of this country from the usual modus operandi of the Federal government, then I would say they are the only function doing their job above and beyond the call of duty...
But thats all I got...;-)
