The Republican War on Voting

By Art Levine - The American Prospect...

Using the Department of Justice, friendly governors, and its usual
propaganda outlets, the GOP has propagated the myth of voter fraud to
purge the rolls of non-Republicans.

One week before the close of voter registration in Kentucky last
fall, in an election that culminated with the victory of Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, Steve Beshear ~ Johanna Sharrard, a fresh-
faced 26-year-old national organizer for the low-income advocacy group
ACORN, gathered her canvassers in a run-down Louisville office and
told them some good news: "We got 396 people yesterday - that's really
great!"

Then she added what could have seemed a jarringly discordant note: "We
know it's getting harder to reach people with the cards in this area.
It's really important that you guys are not slipping up and turning to
filling out your own applications or other fraudulent activity. Just
yesterday we had to let another person go because she did not follow
protocols." Sharrard continued sternly, "What's important is that we
get 15,000 new voters. We're not out there to get 10,000 new voters
and 5,000 false applications."

You claim you did not vote for George W. Bush. Who did you vote for?
