These students were legally registered to vote. Live in this city, work, and go to school. No problems voting these students in other election (2000) for ex. Dem judge has friend with a rep challenger...do you see now?

No they weren't legally registered. That's the issue. We shouldn't be defending lawbreakers. Why are you?

If they live, work, and go to school and have car registration in Clark County, AR, then they are legal residents.

If they go to school and depend on mom and dad in Cuyahoga Couty, OH, they are not legal residents of Clark Co Arkansas.

Don't defend lawbreakers. You risk looking like a NJ Dem.

Joe, I think that you're misreading the story. Check out the comments from both Dem. and Rep. state leaders at #46:

Huckabee said as many as 1,000 college students "have essentially been disenfranchised from their right to vote."

Huckabee said the ruling "is absolutely one of the worst things that's happened in Arkansas politics in a long time. I think it shows why we have to see some real changes in the one-party fiefdom that we have operated under."

State Treasurer Jimmie Lou Fisher, Huckabee's Democratic opponent in the race for governor, called the decision "appalling."

Secretary of State Sharon Priest, the state's chief election officer, urged the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union to oppose the ruling by Clark County Circuit Judge John A. Thomas. "Three words: It is unconstitutional," said Rita Sklar, executive director of the state ACLU. "The right of college students to vote in the place where they attend college is well-established under case law."

You are throwing around some serious accusations here.

Prove that these kids were lawbreakers.

With all due respect, you are just plain wrong.
