Repgunicans* are at it again!

States’ Actions to Block Voters Appear Illegal*

Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law, according to a review of state records and Social Security data by The New York Times.

The actions do not seem to be coordinated by one party or the other, nor do they appear to be the result of election officials intentionally breaking rules, but are apparently the result of mistakes in the handling of the registrations and voter files as the states tried to comply with a 2002 federal law, intended to overhaul the way elections are run.

Still, because Democrats have been more aggressive at registering new voters this year, according to state election officials, any heightened screening of new applications may affect their party’s supporters disproportionately. The screening or trimming of voter registration lists in the six states — Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina — could also result in problems at the polls on Election Day: people who have been removed from the rolls are likely to show up only to be challenged by political party officials or election workers, resulting in confusion, long lines and heated tempers.

Some states allow such voters to cast provisional ballots. But they are often not counted because they require added verification.

*The NYT has to say 'appears' due to legal reasons, and can't say which party is doing it. Whereas I, average citizen can flat out say the GOP sycophants and the GOP election machine is getting worried, due to the high voter registration that has been sparked by Obama supporters.

This is reminiscent of people being refused their right to vote because they name was similar to a known felons, even if the DOB and SSN didn't match. To be honest, I am surprised that gerrymandeirng has been re-applied to skew voting populations and districts. Who knows, maybe that will be the next stunt. "You can't vote here because your district is there" only to go to the other one and be told you can't vote there because you needed some slip of paper 2 weeks ago.
