Too bad the press has refused to address every national election from 2000 on being basically stolen by election fraud via rigged electronic voting machines by the right. The smoking guns were out in plain sight........nope, we get these same enemies of the democracy now claiming registration fraud because.....well let's be honest, registration drives mostly help the Dems by bring out those disenfrancised routinely.

I have to agree with Catheryn on this. Florida and Ohio had fraudulent results that we saw openly and yet, no one wanted to address them. Kerry and Gore whimped out on fighting these issues and we got "W" for their lack of effort. The country is screwed up because of the Republican fraud tactics.

frankly,
One of the issues I'm concerned about is Republican poll watchers issuing challenges to transgender people who show up to vote because ID in some cases doesn't match their physical presentation.

The NY Post is full of it. The issue of homeless people and residence re voting was decided way back in 1992 by a court decision. They cannot be denied the right to vote just because they don't live in a "traditional residence." According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, they can give the address of a shelter, or a park, or even a street corner.

Lots of info at the National Coalition's website

I hope that Ms. Gibbs can get some good legal representation, and get a class action going, because a lot of other homeless people are going to be kept away from the polls -- maybe even jailed for what is alleged to be their "fraud."

Firstly with regards to the ACORN smear campaign in general, as I understand it, ACORN is legally obligated to turn in every voter registration form they receive, even those that some smart-alecky kid wrote "Mickey Mouse" on. They also flag them, as "confirmed" (with identification), "unconfirmed" and "suspicious."

But what the message they're sending to their base, loud and clear, is that the people whom ACORN are registering don't deserve to vote anyway.

That is exactly what is going on. It's open season on any non-white middle and upper class segment of society, and any chance they can get to impugn the poor's right to vote, they'll take it.

Transgender aside, I don't think the left has any idea how far the right has made inroads into the voting process. We may have learned how to use the internet to our advantage, but they learned how to rig national elections.

As someone who has first hand experience with how far the GOP will go to keep non-white, poor and people who disagree with their agenda from voting,

I'm definitely concerned about the GOP voter suppression game plan for this election cycle.
