I don't mind-- but I did have a non-disclosure agreement. It wasn't 007ish, it was in connection with credit card fraud...
I stumbled across this article on an internet tangent earlier. Figured I'd share here. I'm unsure if this is where some of the remaining political capital Obama has to spend will go, but considering the timeline - this likely tips his hand a bit. Also, read the Times' picks comments.
Alabama requires ID to vote. Alabama is closing 31 drivers license offices to save money. I wonder if the folks affected will be disproportionally white, or black? 'Tis a puzzler.
Yes, as that piece says, this would seem to be the kind of blatant move that won't exactly fly under the radar. Looking forward to hearing the DoJ response.
We can thank Kris Kobach, Kansas Attorney General for starting this war on voters (who vote Democrat).
I saw a scroll on the news last night that said Kansas was wiping at least 31,000 voters from their roles due to their new more restrictive anti-voting laws. Is there an over/under bet on how many are in non-gop-leaning neighborhoods?
It is always nice to include a link, isn't it? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap...tml?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 23% were Republicans, 19% Democrat. Now I know why you didn't include a link.
Regardless of the partisanship of the voter, nobody's right to vote should be denied because Kansas does not have its shit together.
If replying to your post makes me a douchnozzle, so be it. It appears the reason for the purging of the voters from the roll is because they registrations were incomplete. It isn't Kansas that doesn't have it's shit together.
I did. Now it's your turn. I answered your question. Answer mine. Why were they incomplete? How were they incomplete?
So it's comprehension you have an issue with? Surely if you read the article you can discern the reason their registrations were incomplete, it's right there in plain English
That's pretty even considering that Republican registration outnumbers Democratic 45% to 24% in Kansas. http://www.sos.ks.gov/elections/elections_statistics.html Interesting that you now have to provide proof for something (voting) that had been considered a right. I'm assuming we will have speech permit to serve as proof for the ability to speak freely.
It's not, actually. They say 31,000 voters are culled for being incomplete. They do not say how many forms were incomplete for not having proof of citizenship. They do not say how many forms are being purged because there are two identical names on the voting rolls. They do not say how many forms are incomplete because the assistant Googled an address and it did not appear on Google Maps. There is absolutely no indication that any one reason is why all 31,000 forms are incomplete. Perhaps 50% are due to the citizenship law. Perhaps fewer, perhaps more. It's all not there, in plain blank space. Please remember I'm smarter than you.
So what's your beef? As I have stated numerous times, I have no issue with providing ID to vote and if you aren't a citizen you can't vote anyway. I don't think wrong addresses or duplicate registrations would be considered "incomplete", they would just be rejected. The word incomplete to me would mean lacking something, like a signature or proof of citizenship. Which part do you have a problem with?
Wow! So you're making an assumption about the behavior of Kansan voter-registration officials, and a reporter's ability to convey what's happening, and then attacking ME for reading comprehension when I opt to not make that assumption and read the article on its surface.
Tap volunteers to help Kansas voters in limbo No one believes for a second that among the 34,000 are undocumented immigrants, just dying to try to vote so they can be caught and deported. These 34,000 voters can vote for president or Congress because federal laws do not require proof of citizenship. They just cannot vote for any state offices, like governor.
