It should absolutely be COMPLETELY ILLEGAL to be able to do that within the moratorium period on voter registration (usually, 30 days prior to any election)...

Having been to Indiana, this is unsurprising.

Wow, the first time I read your headline I thought it said India. Because you know, election fixing never happens here. *coughcough*

meaning that even if the appeal process is honest enough to reinstate them (or assuming there is an appeal process) that there is absolutely no chance it will work before the election


Appalling, they give them no chance to be reinstanted. This shouldn#'t happen until months before an election

Three laws in particular are at issue, including... a law that would keep a voter from correcting mistakes or omissions on a registration form in the final month before an election and would bar that person from having his or her vote counted.

An oversight can be as simple as failing to check what many XXXX residents call the "crazy box." It asks people to affirm: "I have not been adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting or, if I have, my competency has been restored."

So far, about 3 percent of voter registrations collected by the XXXX chapter of Acorn, a national organizing group, have lacked the required checkmarks.

I thought it was funny how right as all the shit was hitting the fan about vote tampering and other et cetera in our own 2004 presidential election, this administration was acting very disappointed about the shenanigans taking place in Ukraine's presidential election.

Well, illegal voting activities got the election commissioner in Ohio in trouble after the Kerry election (long after it'd have helped, sadly)
