He does so at the behest of House GOP leader John Boehner. The partisan fight centers on discrepancies in state data.Reporting from Washington -- The White House has asked the Department of Justice to look into whether 200,000 new Ohio voters must reconfirm their registration information before Nov. 4, taking up an issue that Republicans and Democrats in the battleground state have been fighting over in court for weeks. The voter names are in dispute because their registration information conflicts with other official data. The action comes a week after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a case brought by the...

Zogby: Obama Leads 75% to 15% With Dead Voters by Hugh Ken Knott B. Sirius As if gaining with female and Catholic voters wasn't enough, Democratic President-to-be Barack Obama now leads John McCain with 75% of registered dead voters. McCain draws the support of just 15% of corpses, with the remaining 10% are undecided. When numbers are adjusted to from registered to likely dead voters, Obama loses just 2% of the vote. "This is proof that Obama appeals to people of all ages," said an anonymous Obama spokesperson. When asked why he supports Obama, dead actor Humphrey Bogart said, "Mr....

FAYETTEVILLE - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama brought his campaign to the conservative-leaning eastern part of North Carolina on Sunday, warning people not to be “hoodwinked” by a series of Republican charges in the final weeks of the campaign. Obama, the Illinois senator, said Republicans were assailing his character and were leveling baseless charges of socialism in speeches, robo calls and in campaign flyers. If he "can't figure out why" he is being (accurately) labeled socialist, maybe he should take a look at his radical, socialist friends and associates, and maybe he is as dumb of an empty shirt as...

Predicting pols There are only 15 days left until Election Day, which means that pundits and pols will be busy predicting who will win come November 4. We caught up with Speaker Nancy Pelosi at Georgetown's Café Milano Friday night and she didn't pull any punches. "100% Barack Obama is going to win!" she told Yeas & Nays. "He's going to be our next president and a great president at that. We're all excited to work with him." But that's not what Rudy Giuliani thinks. We found him palling around with Yogi Berra at the Washington Hilton Saturday night and...

Home's 12 occupants strike at heart of debate over voter eligibility. small, unremarkable house on the East Side seems as anonymous as any other on its working-class street. But as authorities investigate the rental home's current and former residents for possible voter fraud, it has become a focal point for questions about the integrity of Ohio's election system heading into the presidential election. Some critics of Ohio's election system now question whether lax residency requirements and election laws are creating loopholes for outsiders to vote in this battleground state. By late summer, the house at 2885 Brownlee Ave. had become...

This is just too funny! Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been on a vote fraud shtick for at least two years ever since he began writing about how the Republicans "stole" the 2004 election (somehow they didn't bother to "steal" the elections in 2006). This year he is claiming that the Republicans are again trying to steal the election via "voter suppression." What Kennedy means is that when Republicans dare to challenge the vast number of fraudulent registrations submitted by ACORN, that is somehow "voter suppression." So how to explain the very obvious false registrations submitted by ACORN around the...

Despite questions about their voting eligibility, nearly 24,000 convicted felons in Washington state will receive ballots for November’s election, according to a report by Chris Halsne of KIRO-Seattle. Snip.

To end the many obstacles Southern states put up before African-American voters as late as the 1960s, Congress worked for decades to make voting much easier. These efforts had a hugely positive effect - until the 1993 "motor voter" law. This measure and some related laws made registration so easy - and so difficult to verify because of a lack of resources and time - that they created nothing less than a structural weakness in American democracy. This election year, we're seeing a determined, well-funded effort to exploit this weakness, led by ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for...

Today I am releasing an in-depth study of the Sequoia AVC Advantage direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machine, available at citp.princeton.edu/voting/advantage. I led a team of six computer scientists in a monthlong examination of the source code and hardware of these voting computers, which are used in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other states.

Six Alabama counties have more enrolled voters than people of voting age MONTGOMERY - Six Alabama counties have more people on their voting rolls than they do people of voting age, according to voter registration numbers and U.S. Census Bureau estimates. The curious statistic could be the result of a surge in new registrations added to voter rolls that have not been purged of people who moved, said local election officials. But the state's top elections chief said Thursday she's concerned that bloated rolls could leave opportunity for Election Day fraud. "I can't say it's impossible that 100 percent of...
