Denying people to vote due to foreclosure?

4. This is not right!

6. Happens all over the USA. Sometimes it's reported, sometimes it's not

The GOP try very hard to suppress votes in Urban areas especially. They know they can't win elections fairly so they do what they can to "even" the playing field so to speak. It shows what little regard they truly have for America as a country.

Of course, I'm of the opinion that voting should be mandatory, every one should be allowed to do it and that 11/4 should be a national holiday to make it easier for folks to vote.

5. i'm sorry...but if they moved...

regardless of reason...you have to update voter registry to vote or cast a provisional...it is already the law.

8. Yes of course but

When you've lost your home, updating voter registration is probably the last thing on your mind.

As I said in my other post, every one should be allowed a vote regardless.

11. if i am not mistaken, they CAN vote

but it has to be a provisional ballot... i could be wrong...but i think that is the way it goes.

7. It's a good strategy.

It of course shows that they feel those people will be voting Democratic. We need to get out and let people know that they have to update their voter registration cards to a new address in order to vote.

An ad stating the obvious would be good. "John McCain says he will turn the economy around but doesn't trust foreclosure victims to vote. Why is that Senator McCain? If your plan is go great wouldn't they all be voting for you?"

9. Hey, Democratic leaders!

See what happens when you fail to address a mortgage crisis in time?
