In spite of the criminal activity of MI union thugs (yes that includes teachers, MEA) MI is 17 electoral votes in the Bush column. Kerry is that bad.

Anybody think there's a legtimate Constitutional argument for outlawing the payment of unofficial voter registrars at the federal level?

You can't throw all of them out. Some of those people have the legal right to vote. You can't throw out their form because someone else comitted a crime.

"Wayne State University; Washtenaw County, home of the University of Michigan; and Ingham County, home of Michigan State University"

Are these colleges and universities bastians for liberals or conservatives? Have they found out whether the fake registrations were done by demonicrats or GOP?

Time for prison terms to be meted out. Make some examples.

Looks like receiving voter registration forms is going to take on a new adjudicative powers.

We can't 'Throw all of them out' and local officials may not even have the time and resources to properly vet them. But there was one thing I found ever so slightly encouraging...that it was being forwarded to the DA. The ONLY thing that will really help is to start putting democrat vote fraud operatives in prison for extended periods. There are not 'mistakes' these are efforts to steal an election. And I have no doubt that the bigwig D's who are coordinating the fraud all have plausible deniability....we need to punish the foot soldiers of D fraud to the maximum extent of the law.

As if there is any question who is doing it?

I'm only ten miles from Ann Arbor and there is no such thing as a Kerry sign in this township. AA is an oasis of liberal sickness and thankfully it is contained within those city limits.

. . . advocacy groups for the first time are hiring people to register voters.

Much as I like the idea of participation in the voting process, these advocacy groups need to be quashed with a vengeance. If average Joe does not have the sense to register and vote in the normal way let him cease and desist from the process altogether.

I dunno.  Seems like they are taking the Dan Rather approach.  They are not registering 'dead people' like in other states, they're just making them up.

These are groups with beliefs and funding by Democrats. PIRGIM being listed as a "nonpartisan advocacy group" is a laugh as they use an environmental health doctrine to push socialist intrusion into our lives. Terry Lynn Land, an elected Republican, will make sure this issue stays in the light of day.

I'm worried that this nationwide push for Dems to register voters can have large fraud possibilities, particually as absentee ballot use becomes easier.

When are the Republicans going to take voter fraud seriously? I am getting angrier by the minute knowing my vote is diluted and disfranchised by voter fraud.

PIRGIM state director Brian Imus said his group is taking steps to make sure the registrations are legitimate. Two staff members are looking over the forms before they send them to local clerks, and they're also making random calls to make sure those on the forms intended to register.

"We did notice a pattern that was weird. That was weeks ago, and that's why we started doing the spot checking. Anyone we thought was doing anything wrong we don't allow to work with us," Imus said. "It just needs more scrutiny, and that's exactly what we're doing — double-checking the forms."
>>>>>>>>>

If those folks do ANTHING with that form - other than send it in - they have to be violating the law.

They cannot legally alter it - no matter what they think.
They cannot decide that it is wrong and not submit it - that is not within their power.
Once that form is filled out - it becomes a somewhat sacred document - any tampering or prevention of delivery in any way has to be breaking the law.

this is the only conservative college that I am aware of in Michigan......Michigan has waaay more than its share of the victimhood/entitlement crowd.

Thomas said the groups submitting the most questionable registrations have been the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan, or PIRGIM, and Project Vote. Fuller said all of the suspicious registrations her Eaton County office received were turned in by PIRGIM, a nonpartisan advocacy group based in Ann Arbor.

Of course, there's no mention that both these groups are affiliated with the RATs.

They are taking it seriously. Federal laws were passed in the wake of 2000. There have been numerous sentencings in various Dem-run states for the 2002 fraud. There is DOJ participation int he registration fraud. I read a post earlier this morning citing 700 cases having already been brought by Ashcroft.

It is the same groups and the same Dem machine and the same tactics each time, which makes it a bit easier.

We have registered over 3M new Republicans this year.

Still: every vote for Bush is vital and no one should allow a friend to split a ticket. We need every critter and Senator we can get to keep control and get our policies passed.
