Scare tactics (racial) used to hire pollworkers
PIttsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | October 3, 2008 | Salena Zito

Here is a novel idea coming to Southwestern Pennsylvania for Election Day: Sign up to become a “pollworker,” paid by a “non-partisan effort,” and then ensure that people who shouldn’t be allowed to vote actually will get to vote.

This from “Pollworkers for Democracy,” which uses fear tactics based on the recent mortgage crisis as a hook to snag people living on the edge of financial problems:

“Imagine being told you've lost the right to vote because the bank foreclosed on your home,” begins the e-mail. It goes on to say that if you lose your home and have to move out of your voting precinct, you may not be allowed to vote.

Well, of course you are ineligible to vote in that precinct – you moved. That is the law.

Good job ferreting out this slime. These types are just despicable. Meanwhile, in the Eastern part of the state, the Obamas are all over the radio in a drive to register new (and in many cases, still breathing) voters.

No Salena, you don't get it. Laws are only for Republicans.

Vote early. Vote often is what the left wants for their voters only.

Damn them for the damage they continue to do, by keeping the racial divisions alive. How many centuries will it be before this is no longer an issue. It angers me. One of these decades maybe some Republican at the national level will call them on it too. There will be deafening cries and wailing but someone has to say it and not just go along.

Lest we forget.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday.

Investigators said questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities.

The four indicted — Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner — were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters. They were each charged with two counts.
