"How much ya wanna bet she's back on the donkeys' payroll somewhere?!"

I'll put tracking her down on my "Things to Do " list for you. I'll check the Wisconsin Court Access Records first. Oh, wait...Dems in WI rarely get punished for anything, so that won't be of much help. They're just allowed to slither back under their rocks. *Rolleyes*

Usually, the way it works in places like Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, and Milwaukee is that the Dems wait for the rest of the state to come in and then figure out how many votes they need to win and manufacture them.

That happened in Dane County in 2004. I watched the county by county results on the internet election night. Dane County's numbers didn't change for hours...until Bush was ahead by a few thousand votes...then Dane County finished "counting" and Kerry pulled it out.

So that 105,000 figure only represents those who didn't vote in the last four years.

Exactly. It's the ones who did vote and weren't entitled to that are the problem. Still, this purge is useful and necessary in stemming the expansion of the problem, eliminating the easy supply of registrations available for exploitation.

My grandfather was a ward healer for Frank Hague in Jersey City. The Dems have voter fraud down to a science. They also use political favors e.g., city jobs on paper with a salary, which you don't have to show up on the job.

Remember the reports that the NO police had disappeared after Katrina and many had gone to Las Vegas? The real story is that they were probably phantom employees who either never existed or were receiving money without having to work. In Jersey City, everyone in my neighborhood used to receive a free turkey on Thanksgiving from the local ward boss. I don't think he paid for it personally.

I could not find current policy.

A post card is not treated differently than other 1st Class mail.
DMM exhibit 507.1.5.1 is a nice little chart for determining which
action is required for 1st Class UAA bearing various ancillary service endorsements.
If there is no endorsement the postcard in handled as you stated for 1st Class or Priority Mail.

If a UAA post card has no return address it's simply trashed.

Milwaukee voter roll purge drops about 105,000 names


Associated Press

MILWAUKEE - The first purge of city voter rolls since at least 2001 resulted in about 105,000 names being dropped, mostly because they were listed at old addresses that were no longer correct, officials said.

The number amounted to about 23 percent of the 450,000 names that were on the voter rolls. Officials had said they weren't sure if the rolls were purged after the 2000 election.

Neil Albrecht, assistant director of the city Election Commission, said the names purged were primarily those of people who had moved.

Inaccuracies in the voter rolls had been cited as one cause of problems experienced in the November 2004 election.

To check the rolls, postcards were sent to people who didn't vote in the last four years. Those receiving the postcards had to respond if they wanted to stay on the rolls.

Albrecht said only about 500 people returned the cards.

The others didn't return the cards, or the cards came back showing the person moved without giving a forwarding address or moved out of the city.

The statewide voter list now being developed will make it easier to update local rolls, because it will automatically remove names of those who move from one city when those voters register somewhere else.

Yes, AP has requested we stop linking directly to them through JS Online. The link I have to use now only works for a day, as they update JSOnline a few times daily and sometimes bump articles down.

It would be nice if one of these protesting news sources would be taken to court to make them archive their propaganda.

If they get to print it as news and no one else can print it or link to it, they should be required to keep it on file for a good number of years.

Doesn't really apply in this case (AP) I suppose. I get tired of news/propaganda "disappearing".

if those saying it'll make it 'too hard to vote' spent as much time helping their fellow downtrodden voters as they did bitching,Bush-bashing and tire-slashing the GOP get-out-the-vote vans, they'd have no problem.

I doubt it's harder to vote today than it was in the 1920's.I also don't think you should be able to sit on your ass and vote via your remote control.

Thoughts on Philly's voter turnout?

I empathize Diana.

Exactly the same thing here in Washington State.

Actually, Philadelphia has been posting its results sooner than most other locales in Pennsylvania in the past few elections because of its new electronic voting machines.

The results haven't changed :-(

Your theory doesn't hold water for here.

Which is of course how Dane County was able to ensure the defeat of Republican Scott Klug in the close congressional election of 1990. Oh, wait. He won.

I don't think your theory holds water.

Well, we'll probably both be working overtime at the polls come November '06 & '08.

There's nothing I relish more than turning away someone that doesn't have any ID or proof of residence that shows up at MY registration table on voting day, LOL! ;) (We have same-day registration in WI. I am the Key Master.)

I live in Dane County, and it's second to Milwaukee County for voter fraud. Though, since it's our Seat-O-Government, it doesn't get much play in the media. *Rolleyes*

What I find even more bothersome is that no one in Philly appears to want to do anything about it.

We here in Philly don't want to do anything about it because the "problem" is bogus and non-existant.

We prefer to expend our energies on electing Republicans in NE Philly, rather than fighting phantom voter fraud that isn't happening.

You are sooo lucky. Good for you.

We just went ALL vote by mail around here. Talk about frustrating.

Wow. I've never heard of that. Let me guess...it was something the Dimowits introduced and pushed for in your state? ;) I'd better shut up. There are probably some Dimowit Wisconsin State Capitol Staffers lurking here on my Taxpayer Dime while at work, LOL! I wouldn't want to give them ANY ideas.

Our Governor "Diamond Jim" Doyle (D, WI) keeps vetoing legislation to have photo IDs for voting. Supposedly, that would "disenfranchise" a few old folks that live up in the North Woods that don't have a photo ID of any kind.

It'll never end while Dims have any tiny bit of power in either of our states.

It happened so fast I am not completely sure why or how. I suppose I need to look it up.

It was just such a shock. Our kids really enjoyed our treks to the polls. It was an important ritual and our local precinct used to serve cookies and coffee. They got to know the kids, would give them stickers. It was great.

Then they centralized it. It became big, distant and less "enfranchised." ; ). Shortly thereafter, boom, it was done. Absentee for everyone.

Hate it, hate it, hate it.
