Update
Convicted Felons on the Rolls in Florida

More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found.

Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections.

Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they're still in prison.

Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.


Two to one? Figures.

Joseph Borges, the registrar of voters in Bridgeport, Conn., says his office has been overwhelmed by bogus forms filled out with thousands of fake and duplicate names - two boxes alone packed with non-existent addresses - all submitted by ACORN.

...ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board" with 57, 435 rejected for faulty information. "Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations. In one case, a man was registered to vote more than 15 times since the Primary election."

105% in Indy? I'm not surprised. Thank God the Supreme Court upheld the Voter ID law. At least Indiana has a backup to keep fraudulent registrations from turning into fraudulent votes, at least at the polls. I wish I could say the same for our neighbors to the east.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Emily got to work on that case when she was working for the SG, and had to take a lot of crap from someone else in the office for it. Why people get riled up about maintaining the integrity of the system I'll never understand...
