Title: hehe There was a voting issue here in Nevada
Post by Tiannia on Oct 13th, 2004, 11:19pm
Yesterday was the last day to register to vote for the November election. There was a company here in town that hired a third party to file the forms and they destroyed some of the forms, all of which happened to be declared democrats.  Not sure what will come of it... but figured there are lots of people here who can discuss some of the possible possibilities.

And there is a hard-core Republican here that wanted to be sure all voters actually lived in the precinct where they were registered to vote. He went to the County and got a list of all voters and stared checking them.

He claims to have found exactly 17,000 (yeah, thousand) that no longer lived where they the records said they did. They had moved, died, whatever.

All 17,000 were Democrats. According to this nut-case not one Republican had moved or died in the last 4 years. Hhmmm......

Most Democrats in Nevada are migrant workers. In the last election they heard of work opportunities on the island of Florida.

They are still there, still sweeping up chads.

So were the 17,000 really no longer living where they were registered and, if so, have they been deleted from the list of registered voters?

Yes they were.

Then they were added to the voting lists in California. But I don't know why California since it is Kerry country already.  ;;D

... The same company that is suspected of tearing up Democratic voter registration forms in Las Vegas has set up registration drives in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Florida and Nevada and is accused of the same things in most if not all of these states.  Sproul & Associates is a Republican consulting firm run by Nathan Sproul, former head of the Arizona Republican party and Arizona Christian Coalition.

Nevada:
Voters Outreach of America AKA America Votes tears up Democratic voter registration forms in Nevada.

Oregon:
Company claiming affiliation with non-partisan 'America Votes' to register voters in Oregon is actually GOP consulting firm Sproul & Associates, Inc.

West Virginia and Pennsylvania:
Sproul & Associates AKA America Votes workers in WV and PA refuse to register Kerry voters.

Oregon
Democrats in Oregon have complained that canvassers for Arizona based Sproul & Associates have been pressuring residents to register as Republicans so that they can get paid.

Arizona
Arizona Nader campaign was assisted in its petition drive by an unlikely figure: the ultra-conservative former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, Nathan Sproul.

About Sproul:
Good background story on Sproul and his political track record, cached on Google.

The link:
Here is the direct link between Sproul and Voters Outreach of America.

   According to several sources, two of the contractors Sproul hired to oversee petition gathering for No Taxpayer Money For Politicians -- Aaron "A.J." James, who directs Voters' Outreach of America, and Diane Burns -- were also paid by Sproul to get as many signatures as possible for Nader.


KLAS-TV, Las Vegas:
"The company has been largely, if not entirely funded, by the Republican National Committee."

CareerBuild.com listing:
Help wanted ad for Voters Outreach of America says "Paid for by the Republican National Committee".

A little more on politics in the Silver State.

George Bush will be in Las Vegas today for an AARP convention. He won't be speaking because his handlers say there are members of the AARP that don't like his drug policies. The handlers say they believe if George were to speak the AARP members would heckle him and may expose him to off-color language.

So....in his place at the speaker's podium will be..........

Laura Bush.

Cause she handles "off-color language" so much better?

Anyway Nader was here yesterday, Kerry will be here today as well and the ever political Michael Moore is speaking at the Thomas and Mac tomorrow. God it is wonderful to be in one of thier "swing" states. It was always nicer to be igored like everyother election year.   ::)   Yet still not of of these jerks will say anything about Yucca Mountain.  :P

Yeah, I heard that Bush has an ear disorder called ovalitis - its very common among executives exposed to sycophants, and the result is selective hearing loss - he can only hear what he wants to hear.  

Not sure how he got through the 'town meeting' debate without steamrolling anyone but the moderator.
Title: Voting issues in WI also
Post by Karla on Oct 14th, 2004, 11:12pm
When I voted in the primaries an elderly couple walked in.  The husband put the wife in a chair.  Asked for both balets.  One for him and one for her.  The lady said "Oh I am suppose to give her the ballat Have her come here." The husband explained that she couldn't walk without assistance and needed the chair.  So the lady was going to take the voting form to her to fill out.  The husband explaims "OH nO!  She has dementia.  She knows nothing of the political race and wouldn't even know who to vote for.  Just give me her card and I will vote for her!"  The people said that didn't sound like the right thing to do but they did it anyway.  The husband voted for both of them.  I called up my assembly man and congressmen and finally got ahold of the correct person and filed a complaint.  They said what happened is illegal and they took down my polling place and said they would talk to the workers there.  I don't care if you are republican, democratic, or other I just want fair voting going on.

Some more politics in Nevada.  ::)

Today Michael Moore will be giving a speech in Vegas. His theme "George Bush and John Kerry suck. That's why I'm voting for Kerry"

It is scheduled for 9PM at UNLV. It is sponsored by the student council.

9PM on a Friday night on a college campus in Vegas? What a fu*kin' idiot.

How many students will show up? Probably as many as 6.

Michael Moore has to be one of the top 2 of a'holes of the world. He doesn't even attempt to hide how disgusting fat, sloppy and ugly he is. Not to mention his hatred for America (except for his American paycheck).

I'm ashamed that UNLV is in Vegas.

To move a little back to topic...
Last election on the reservations in South Dakota, Democrat workers were found to be burning ballots that were Republican.  So...the media burried the story.  It was pretty big in Rapid City for a while then it went away there, too.  

Also, Kerry, the big supporter of the Military that he is, is trying the same crap Al Bore did to make the Military ballots not count.  Bore wanted them discounted because they have no post marks.  I may be wrong but mail from overseas active military doesn't have a post mark, does it?

As for Moore, I think that it is pretty crappy that he is demanding upwards of 40K per speaking engagement at these schools.  It's not going to charity or anything other than the Let's Make Michael Moore Fatter Fund.

You know, we're all laughing, but this election is serious as a train wreck....

The facts are out in there if anyone wants to look them up (and NO not what the politicians or pundunts are "saying" are the facts)

Medicare reform is a MESS! Probably won't work - just cost more to people who can't afford it.

VA benefits have been CUT and are a mess right now. You could die before you get help. Unless you know "how" to cut thru red tape at a VA hospital you're not going to get much done.

Healthcare in the US is unreal. Most people can't afford it - Insurance companies are "telling" doctors how to practice medicine, telling people who they can go to and how they will be treated. You could die before they'll approve treatment you need or drugs we need to survive. Then we can't afford the drugs.

Unemployment and wages have gone to hell in a handbasket because jobs are going overseas because of cheap labor.

Education in this country sucks. Our children are coming out of public schools illerate, yet we stand back and say they're are educated - all we have to do is look at them. Most can't even fill out a job application form (if there we jobs available).

The tax cuts that are being pushed at the American public are NOT tax cuts for the people who need them. In fact the people who are actually "working" are the ones paying thru the teeth in taxes. They're the ones getting screwed to the wall regardless of what they're being told. They're being penalized for trying to save or make a living. Small business and middle income tax payers are the ones footing the tax bills (and yes I know what I'm talking about here - I see it every day).

I support every mother's child in uniform, but think they should be protecting American soil unless there's a damn good reason for sending them abroad and I don't think a one of them should be in Iraq right now. Our military was formed to protect OUR borders NOT the world. We should have bombed Afganistan and brought our boys home to protect US.

And our government should be on a Pay As You Go plan just like all of us are. If you can't afford it -- Don't buy it! It should live under the same rules as we do. (Oh, I'm also for term limits, but that will take a little time and a constitutional amendment). I don't think Congressmen and Senators should be a career - 8 or 10 years and then come home and live with the laws they made. Might make 'em a little more careful about what they do.

But when I go to the polls in November, you can bet I will have looked up a few facts rather than just take Bush or Kerry's word for things.

If that's too hard; here:

Bush: Zero chance for affordable drugs and he will make Canadian drugs hard to get if not illegal.

Kerry: At least he won't actively make things worse and he won't get in the way of your parents buying drugs in Canada.

Bush: John Ashcroft

Kerry: No John Ashcroft

For those of you who are bicultural curious, here is a crash course in the British Parliament.  

The House of Commons is like a cross between the US House of Representatives and a mob of soccer football hooligans,  When someone in the house speaks (or tries to speak), the Fullbacks Backbenchers  yell things like 'Here, Here!' and 'Oy!"  Then they headbutt each other, yell "Manchester United - Oy!" and throw things until the cops ("Sergeants at Arms") break thing up.  Interpol maintains a list of MPs with rowdy tendencies, and they are banned from stadiums parliaments across the continent.   Although this sounds rather uncouth (and often is), it does have some rituals the rest of the world could benefit from.  For example, the 'Prime Minister' (who is like the US President, only he is chosen by the parliament, not the Electoral College)  must routinely submit to interrogation by the H.O. Commons.  During the interrogation, the PM's friends toss softball questions like "In the war between Good and Evil, whose side is the Queen's government on, and why?" **  while the opposition (and in Tony Blair's case, his own party) ask questions like "will you kindly appologize for all the lies you have told since we last questioned you?"  Every question is met by loud cheering, loud booing, and things being thrown, as is each answer.  But through this brutal adversarial system, the truth is revealed for all to see.  (Go Team of Reds!)

The equivalent of the Senate is called the House of Lords. It maintains its respectability by keeping the riff-raff in the House of Commons. By law, atleast 80% of each speech given by a lord must be long-winded compliments of all of the Honorable Members in this August Body, along with recitations of traditions and rituals that are so important to the Lords.  Lords are very fashion conscious and wear black robes and wigs.  The leader of the Lords, Lord Chancellor (aka C-Lord) spends most of his time hanging with The Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod,  the Garter Principal King of Arms, and various Lords Spiritual. Then he sits on his Woolsack and the Peers bow to the Cloth of Estate and may then take their seats (really! could I make this stuff up?).  The Woolsack is a pappasan chair that symbolizes the wealth and authority of Britain, stretching back to when everybody wore wool.  That nursery rhyme that most children assume was written by a mushroom eating wacko  ("Bah Bah Black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, Yes sir, three bags full!") is in fact very symbolic and meaningful rap to the Lords, who let C-Lord sit on one of the sacks to show he is their main dog.  

Its all true - I swear it!

** Prime Minister's Response: "The Queen's Goverment is on the Side of Good.  I most firmly believe that this is the right side to be on. By fighting for the Good, we will have secured our place in history."
