Arkansas GOP candidate's voter registration canceled

[ashling]

An Arkansas county clerk's office has found a case of voter fraud that could affect the outcome of an upcoming election. Candidates for state office must be eligible to vote in the state, and:
Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane on Tuesday canceled the voter registration for [Republican candidate for attorney general] Leslie Rutledge of Little Rock after confirming that the former Gov. Huckabee legal aide is registered to vote in Washington, D.C., and possibly Virginia.
Rutledge is claiming political motivation for her loss of Arkansas voter registration:
"Taking a person's right to vote away from them, as Democrat Larry Crane has done, is reprehensible and a desperate attempt to help the campaign of a Democratic candidate who lacks the experience and good judgment to protect the citizens of our great state."
Take a minute to howl with laughter. A Republican candidate bitterly complaining about how reprehensible it is to take away a person's right to vote. Like that's not one of three prongs of the Republican plan for winning elections over the next few cycles as demographics shift against them.

1. No wonder Republicans are convinced that voter fraud is prevalent.

Seems like a lot of them are perpetrating it.

8. Good article. I wonder how widespread it is?

One way to win the elections. What are the chances they'd get caught?

2. Ooooh, "reprehensible" is it, Ms. Rutledge?

Can I offer you a nice steaming cup of shut the fuck up?

Voter fraud IS a problem!

7. I find it a bit strange that a person

would have to cancel their voter registration in one place before registering to vote in their most recent place of residence. I've moved from one vkter precinct to another and have never 'canceled' my past registration. One of the moves was from one state to another. As long as a person only votes in the precinct in which they are legally ably to vote, I don't understand the problem.

(No, I'm not defending a Republican, I just do not understand the point of this law.)
