Homeless people 'driven' to register and vote for Obama; All they want is a sandwich
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10062008...ama_132395.htm
Quote:
CLEVELAND - Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.
The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state's elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.
Republicans have argued that the window could lead to widespread voter fraud because officials wouldn't have an opportunity to verify registration information before ballots were cast.
Among the volunteers were Yori Stadlin and Vivian Lehrer of the Upper West Side, who got married last week and decided to spend their honeymoon shepherding voters to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Early today, Stadlin's van picked up William Woods, 59, at the soup kitchen of the Bishop Cosgrove Center.
"I never voted before," Woods said, because of a felony conviction that previously barred him from the polls. "Without this service, I would have had no way to get here."

So, convicted felons can vote now?

Effin liberals piss me off. That's ridiculous. Add those homeless to all the illegal aliens which will probably be voting for the mESSIAH and this election is a scam. Left wing, liberal, selfish, arrogant, entitlementarian, bigoted, hypocritical bastards!

Yeah Republicans never do anything like this. They have never disenfranchised black voters or redrawn congressional districts so that minority groups are split up.
Oh wait. |

Abe Lincoln freed the slaves and it wasn't because he was against slavery. It was just a political maneuver to prevent one of the European powers at that time from entering the Civil War
