ACLU Loses Lawsuit To Delay Recall Vote

I think they were saying that punch cards would disenfranchise minorities. No joke. Basically they were saying that minorities are too dumb to vote. Odd position from the ACLU, huh?

Why didn't they sue to delay the last election were Grey Davis won? We used punchcards then and no one complained.

It disenfranchises voters if they have to use the same kind of voting machine to recall davis that they used to elect him.

Don't you just love liberals???

Uh, no. :) Great point, BTW.

After hearing AS's speech today I predict 2 things:

The Terminator's poll #'s will go up atleast 15 points.

Gray Davis will step down.

There is one other federal case in San Jose due to be heard next week. I expect that one to be dismissed also.

I am deeply saddened and concerned.

Not!

[Pharmboy]

Er...how did this constitute a "civil liberties" issue in the first place?

And, I hope they spent mucho bucks on this losing cause...

[AVNative]

Yawn. . .

(but I'm secretly pleased as punch! Can't let folks know that in public, thus the yawn.)

Here in the Land of the Right Stuff, we are having a Stealth celebration. Just like when we were building the B-2 bomber. I didn't see that breakdance, and we never met. And what's Free Republic?

Odd position from the ACLU, huh?
