Tired of the crying and whining that the big bad Reps are making the sky fall. Plus it was nothing more then an opinion piece. So I guess technically that one was made up.

Not to mention

The only thing made up was the opinion itself. The facts used to support the opinion(the laws I'm talking about ) were not made up.

I can on all day with more links. Just let me know.

The story doesn't change.

Now see was that so hard. One thing I found interesting in the 4th link.

In Miami-Dade County, “1,638 people were flagged by the state as ‘noncitizens.’ Already, 359 people on the list have provided the county with proof of citizenship and 26 people were identified as U.S. citizens directly by the county. The remaining 1,200 have simply not responded to the letter informing them of their purported ineligibility. Similar problems have been identified in Polk County and Broward County,” the liberal ThinkProgress website reports.

The 1200 that did not respond, can we assume at least a portion of these names are not legal to vote and therefore the purge did it's job in this example?

I haven't read all of the links but will try tonight.

Until I see a sign that says blacks and Hispanics are not allowed to vote then I don't agree with anything the government tries to do, the Obama government is trying to just let everyone vote, legal or not. It isn't hard to get to vote, go register and get your ID if you don't have one.
