October 30, 200817 yr Local campaigners who work for Lunsford and the DNC, went to area highschools to register voters. They did not turn in those who registered as Republicans, so now kids who thought they were going to be able to vote this election will not be able to. This happened in the Ashland/Russell area.
October 30, 200817 yr It has happened before. If it happened to my child, I would hold the school responsible. It should not have allowed partisans on the school property without having the opposing party present. Although nothing will happen (Does it ever?), someone should be burned.
October 30, 200817 yr That is truly disgusting. I am not kidding when I state that a lawsuit against the school and campaign might hold water.
October 30, 200817 yr I haven't seen this. What school did this occur at? Is this in the Independent?

Democrats have always been prolific in perpetuating malfeasance as it relates to voter activity. Whether its 1) registering dead people 2)committing voter registration fraud utilitizing non-profit agencies 3) trying to suppress the overseas military vote (see 2000 presidential election) 4) accusing those who think having a photo id is a good idea of being evil or 5) simply throwing registration forms of the opposition party in the trash, you have to admit the dems have this down to a science.
October 30, 200817 yr Author This occured I know for sure at Russell, just found it out. My buddy's brother attends Russell. My buddy was checking to see where they would be voting at, and it came to light that his brother wasn't registered. So he asked him who else he knows registered Republican, and none of them were registred, however, those that registered as Dems on the same day at the same place, are registered to vote. Just found it out last night. I think he plans on doing some more info checking, just to make sure it isn't just a mistake, but it doesn't appear so yet. As kids who registered as Dems are in the system, and none of the kids who put Republican down are, so far that he has checked. I think he plans on atleast writing a letter to the paper. They came in early August when school first started, so time shouldn't be a factor. It should be easier to figure out, becase that early int he school year, there are fewer kids that are actually already 18. So I think his brother is getting some names and birth dates so he can check the Kentucky website.
October 30, 200817 yr I've asked before and I'll ask again: Why do you have to register to vote? Why aren't you automatically plugged into the system when born, similar to getting a social security number? When you reach 18 you are eligible. If you move, the information moves with you. It seems like a great deal of time and money is spent on something that could be done easily.
October 30, 200817 yr If it's true I don't think you should wait and write a letter. The election is Tuesday.

October 30, 200817 yr What about the homeless? Where do they vote? In Ohio, by order of a Clinton appointee, they vote at the polling place located nearest their park bench.

You can even expand on that idea for many things.
