More Compassionate Conservatism In Action

Sunday, 6 Sweltring 2006

GOP purging voter rolls. I find it interesting that the deadline for this sort of thing is Wednesday (today!) and the purging process began last Friday. I guess the Republican'ts wouldn't want any of that messy double-checking to make sure that they didn't accidentally (cough) purge some eligible Democratic voters in their rush to "fix" things. Oh - and they just happened to contract out to a vendor for the lists of ineligible voters. I wonder if that vendor would be the same one who helped Florida "fix" their voter lists, too?

And, it's really funny to note that Florida was supposed to have remedied their admitted error in purging the voter rolls in 2000 before the 2002 elections, but they still haven't corrected their mistakes yet.

It's also interesting to me to note that felons, parolees, and probationers are not allowed to vote in Florida. Can anyone else think of a prominent drug addict on talk radio, currently residing in Florida, who shouldn't be allowed to vote in the 2006 elections, but probably will anyway?

Thanks to The Daily Kos for pointing this out for all to find.
