Oh, dear Lord. We are so screwed. Watch this:
The guy promoting the free taxi program to register the homeless in Ohio exults: “It’s a perfect opportunity for them to come in, register at a temporary address like a homeless shelter or a YMCA or something like that. They can register at that address because they don’t know where they’re going to be tomorrow or next week.”
Another woman describes trolling bus stops and picking up prospects: “I asked ‘em if they’re registered to vote and if they weren’t, I said ‘Get in the car, I’m bringing you!’”
A homeless thug now registered to vote comments: “They picked me up. They seen me walkin’ around. So day said, ‘You wanna vote?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll vote.’ (laughs) Day said, ‘We’ll take you anywhere you want.’ I said, ‘Dat’s cool’…If day say ’sign the ballot,’ just give ‘em and do exactly what they want you to do.’ I mean, hey, dis is America, you know?” (laughs).
Who does this new voter support?
“Barack! I mean, I want him to do his thang. You know, do his thug thizzle. You know. That’s how I like it to be. You know. (laughs).”
Organizers hoped to sign up 1,000 like him by the end of the day yesterday — and more all week.
ACORN, as you know, is heavily involved in these fraud-riddled voter registration efforts in Ohio.
Ohio-based blog Third Base Politics adds:
An unnamed source…related a heartwarming story of a 15 passenger van dropping off a load of drunk, homeless guys at Vet’s Memorial in Columbus. The organizers were just trying to allow these men to exercise their right to vote, but it seemed that they were all too drunk to get in line. What commenced was a “homeless rodeo” where the organizers had to wrangle the men from the parking lot and load them back in the van.
Dems tried this in Wisconsin in 2000, IIRC.
weren't we told how evil tobacco is ???
They will have busses staged at the boarder so they can vote in PA then go to OH and vote again as a homeless person.

FOLKS...like it or not...the goal is to win at all costs. MCCAIN take notice!
Couldn’t this same thing be done by either side? Maybe the same shouold be done for McCain?
I bet the homeless were really pissed off when they found out the change they were promised wasn’t exactly what they expected
This election process IS BROKEN! Here in central Virginia you MUST have ID, PERIOD. WTF is wrong with the rest of this country!???
I have ZERO faith in this system anymore! It Is Compromised!!!
And if memory serves, it worked in Wisconsin. More voters than registrations, per same-day folks.
Welcome To AmeriKa.
There are only a couple of states that require an i.d.
Well, isn’t that special. Tell me again, why am I voting?
all the more reason to require a valid picture id with a valid address.........we are screwed....
What makes us think that they’re only Ohioans, or even that these are US Citizens taking advantage of this?
Where is it in the Constitution that gives the homeless the Right to Vote?
And it felt so good to do it!
Yes, and it may have made the difference in putting Wisconsin's electoral votes in Gore's column.
If homeless people can register and vote, what's to prevent them from voting in multiple counties? If having an address where you live isn't a requirement, why not vote in every single county?
Actually, there is no “right to vote” in the Constitution.

WE NEED A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VOTE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
By MICHAEL C. DORF
“Amidst the divisiveness of the United States Supreme Court’s second foray into the 2000 Presidential election, it is easy to overlook the significance of the Court’s earlier, unanimous ruling of December 4, 2000. A close reading of the decision in that case, Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, reveals a clear consensus for what will strike many Americans as an outrageous proposition: there is no constitutional right to vote in a Presidential election. The fact that the state in which you reside even permits you to vote for electors is purely a matter of legislative grace.”
It’s an interesting read
