That started in the late 1990s, when "snowmobiling" was blamed for much of the pollution in many of our national parks that allowed unrestricted access. Its just thinkspeak.

Registering to vote usually requires only proof of residency such as a utility bill with your name and address on it. I've lived in: NY, DC, VA, WA, CA, IN, and UT and have never had to prove citizenship (despite living in areas with large immigrant populations as well as arguably the most conservative state in the union). GA is out on a limb - this sounds like the new "literacy" test.

The tactics of the RNC, and especially Bush et al, resemble those of organized crime. Outright intimidation and wanton disregard for the law - they resemble Tammany Hall more than the party of Lincoln. I was a Republican when there was a place in the party for social liberals/fiscal conservatives... and now I simple can't believe I ever voted for those thugs.

Eds -

As someone who has had "mismatching information data" scratch him from the polls twice, I can tell you that this is not the correct approach. First, you have no idea that they have scrapped your registration until you arrive at the polls - too late to do anything. Second, when you try to correct their mistakes - you often can not. I had to go to the city courthouse twice in order to find what the comparison record was that did not match. As it turned out, the office of social security had miscopied my address supplied to it by my employer (the University of Utah Medical Center)...

So, I just don't buy it when I read that there is an information mismatch as evidence of voter fraud. Oh - the mismatch? All the streets in Salt Lake City have East, West, North, or South as a starter. They did not place the "E" in front of my street address at the office of social security. That was it - and I could not vote for a year.
