Lawsuit over missing voter registration forms filed in Nevada
All I can say is good luck, dude...

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Opening a new round of legal wrangling expected to continue through Election Day, a would-be Nevada voter filed a lawsuit Thursday that stems from accusations a Republican-funded group destroyed Democratic registration forms.

Dwight Brandon, a 44-year-old caterer from Las Vegas, discovered he was not registered to vote after hearing accusations that representatives of the voter canvassing company Voter Outreach of America had ripped up Democratic registration forms.

Although he doesn't know if members of the group took his registration form at an area mall, Brandon said he knows the person who did was wearing a shirt that said Republican on it.

"I'm here today because my rights were taken away," Brandon said at a news conference outside the Clark County courthouse. "I'm here to get them back."

1. Once again folks, the BIG difference between the Dems and repubs...
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 12:39 AM by jdolsen
The Democrats are doing everything they can to GET people to vote. The repubs are doing everything they can to PREVENT people from voting.

In a democracy where voting is the responsibility, right and obligation of the citizenry, anyone tampering with an election, the electoral process and/or the results, is in essence, committing treason. Electoral treason should be prosecuted and punished as such.

4. The Reason For The Desperation, Sir
Is that there are more of us than there are of them, and they know damned well they cannot win an election in which the great mass of the people participates fully.

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

6. The main reason for the desparation is potential investigations.
If $hrubco stays in power, they may be able to bury, obscure, blur and deny themselves out of prison terms. If someone else comes in, they're gonna start digging, and once they get past the surface, there will be plenty of cellblock nine invites.
