"Ya say ya want a revolution........."


Supreme Court sides with Ohio elections chief, against state GOP in voter registration suit

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court sided Friday with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations****
The justices overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, faced a deadline of Friday to set up a system to provide local officials with names of newly registered voters whose driver's license numbers or Social Security numbers on voter registration forms don't match records in other government databases.
Ohio Republicans contended the information for counties would help prevent fraud. Brunner said the GOP is trying to disenfranchise voters.
In a brief unsigned opinion, the justices said they were not commenting on whether Ohio is complying with a provision of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 that lays out requirements for verifying voter eligibility.
Instead, they said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue.
About 200,000 of 666,000 voters who have registered in Ohio since Jan. 1 have records that don't match. Brunner has said the discrepancies most likely stem from innocent clerical errors rather than fraud but has set up a verification plan.

z:*** Anybody else wondering if the excellent ACORN lawyers knew about this before this all started? You bet.

z (I was going to put the title in BLUE, a little nod to Americana....but am starting to feel that's a little silly these days.......what happened to the Red, White and Blue? This story is stunning....what do you think?)

MR. Z WONDERS WHY THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T LOOKING INTO THIS.... HE'S RIGHT.

Continuing the Beatles theme:

"Got to admit it's getting better,

Getting better all the time..."

I guess that's it, isn't it, what Ducky said. The Left thinks their policies are "progress," while we know they are the death knell of civilization and perhaps the world itself. They'll even think it's progress if they have to bring it about over our dead bodies.

This is really funny... especialy since suing state governments to enforce the "motor voter" laws was how ACORN & Project Vote got THEIR agenda for helping create the fraudulent voter registrations implemented in the first place...

Catch-22

if the gop can't file suit...who can? why don't they?

According to Ducky and his friends, it's by hook or by crook. Doesn't matter how, only that it's done.

Sounds like a thugocracy, huh? The similarities between Hugo Chavez and Obama are becoming curiouser and curiouser.

In fact, being a community organizer turns out to be excellent preparation to be a leftist President. With all the experience of a street thug he's perfectly set up to head up a thugocracy.

Even a plumber must be silenced. Can't you feel the justice, the compassion of it all?

If Obama wins, those who celebrate winning at all costs will find, their oxes will be gored too, and they'll be saying, as we are today, "how did this happen?", because even then, they still won't get it.

Ignorance truly is bliss.

WASHINGTON — An ACORN community organizer received a death threat and the liberal activist group's Boston and Seattle offices were vandalized Thursday, reflecting mounting tensions over its role in registering 1.3 million mostly poor and minority Americans to vote next month.

Maybe they'll burglarize the DNC's headquarters again, this year.

I read all of these posts and it makes me think about how much Clinton 'lowered the bar' of decency, honor, and tolerance in his terms in office. Of course, all of the illegal and immoral goings on are usually accepted by the Left - if the abusers are Left. And, of course, we have the most Leftist media in the history of this country to help out our 'friends across the aisle'. Especially in getting the Socialist candidate, 0bama, elected with as little scrutiny as possible. But, Oh My Gosh, if Palin tries to fire someone for not disciplining some state cop for poor behavior and it's headlines for weeks. All lies, of course.

Anyone that does not know how very important this election is and how much danger our country is in is simply not paying attention. I am amazed, daily, at the ignorance of 'intelligent people'. I tell people to search for ''Shadow Party'' ''George Soros'' on google to see the tip of the iceberg.

The Left has labored long and hard. This is their time. We must be ready. If that sounds crazy then go back to sleep

Those who think we can come back in 4 years have no concept of the damage that can be done in 4 years. Allow these Socialistas full rein on the gubmint and they will let it run away from themselves. They will have ''spread the wealth'' so evenly that nobody will be able to do anything constructive for many a season.

The real question, given ACORN’s history in the past twelve years, is why concerned Ohioans waited until the last minute to voice a concern about ACORN activities? Why didn’t elections officials address this issue in January? Did they, for example, trust their government to do the right thing? On what basis would any rational person make such a supposition?

And by the way, wouldn't the Democrats just hate it if disgusted GOP and independent voters stayed home on Election Day?

Yup.

Ducky, maybe YOU think it's 'better' to cheat America, none of us does. Thanks. FINALLY, people might take things in their own hands. It's clear the government's not interested in protecting democracy, isn't it.

I doubt the death threat; it's typical Alinsky..."let them be told there was a death threat, make them mistrust the decent types..."

Yes, everybody...WHY was this allowed to happen?

WHY aren't Conservatives better lined up to demand the truth, to pay excellent lawyers to get to the truth, to shame the Left into realizing how hideously dishonest voter fraud is?

Ducky, the incidents you describe, are not acceptable and shouldn't happen. However, if you act like a thug, expect thuggery.

If you condone T-shirts with a message about a VP candidate I can't even print here, if you condone demonizing a plumber, if Obama supporters key cars with McCain/Palin stickers, if you condone voter fraud, do you think there might be mounting tensions?

Are you saying, "how did this happen?", already?

I know, you don't get it.

Smart people should be much more concerned about DEBT THREATS than DEATH THREATS these days, I should think.


And yes, Pris. "Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword." I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Well a 30% error rate in registering voters isnt too bad.

Its not acceptable for the DMV or Criminal Records or any where else, but its good enough for registering Democratic Party voters.

Who cares if they are dead, duplicates, illegal aliens, phony, etc... Its all for the cause!

Z,

You said the left may be shamed... NOOOOO, the left has no honor thus they cannot be shamed.

And, after all, the Supreme Court decision is just a practice run in preparation for the coronation of the Obama Thugocracy.

In Christ,
