Here we go, Republicans are already setting the stage to screw up the vote counting. What a surprise.
Where McCain is losing we will also hear claims that voting computers screwed the count up some how. Just wait.
NEW YORK - Tens of thousands of eligible voters have been removed from rolls or blocked from registering in at least six swing states, and the voters' exclusion appears to violate federal law, according to a published report.
The New York Times based its findings on reviews of state records and Social Security data.

Let's look further into the article:
"The Times said voters appear to have been purged by mistake and not because of any intentional violations by election officials or coordinated efforts by any party."
You are too stupid to even have a point.
Now, let's look at some recent Democheatic activity:
-- A Milwaukee resident was charged Monday with election fraud, the first charge in an investigation into voter registration workers who submitted fake names to the city in what a complaint says amounted to a quota system. According to the complaint, Endalyn Adams, 21, is accused of submitting dozens of fake names and addresses as a registration worker paid by the Community Voters Project, one of two primary groups under scrutiny. Adams is one of 49 cases that City of Milwaukee election officials submitted to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office for review. Nearly all of those submitted were workers for the Community Voters Project or ACORN. According to the complaint, Adams faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 if convicted of the felony charge. A warrant was to be issued Monday for her arrest, officials said.
-- Carolyn Kleinhert, a 21-year old student at Ohio University, pleaded guilty to felony election falsification charges in Athens County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday. Kleinhert voted an absentee ballot in her home county of Summit in the March primary. Then, on election day, investigators say she got a provisional ballot from Athens County to vote in the Democratic primary. Kleinhert told election officials in Athens County that she never received her absentee ballot from Summit County.
-- Three people are facing vote fraud charges for their role in submitting falsified registration forms in Hampton. The three were employed by the Community Voters Project, a program of The Fund for the Public Interest, as voter registration canvassers. According to Detective Jeffrey Minter of Hampton's property crimes unit, the organization required employees to meet a quota of at least 15 registrations per day in order to be paid. An investigation by the Hampton Registrar's Office found that between 60 and 80 names had been invented. Two employees, Brittany Wyatt and Jessica Lemon, each face one count of voter registration fraud. The third employee, Anthony House, faces four fraud counts.
-- The last defendant in an East Chicago vote fraud investigation has been found guilty. Terrance Lay was convicted of collecting another voter’s absentee ballot during the East Chicago 2003 mayoral election, a race so riddled with fraud that the state supreme court ordered a do-over. Among the 46 individuals convicted were two city councilmen, five police officers, two fire department employees, 17 more public employees, and three precinct committeemen.
-- The Howard County Election Board will reject more than 500 absentee ballot applications because they were filled out by officials with the United Auto Workers Union. State law prohibits anyone from giving out a pre-filled in absentee ballot application. According to County Clerk Mona Myers, parts of the applications were filled out in advance, including designations for which party ballot was being requested in the May 6 primary election, the type of ballot, and the reason for requesting an absentee ballot. Myers also said that all of the applications received were for Democratic Party ballots.
-- Two former campaign workers for State Senator Terry Link (D-Waukegan) have been indicted for forging approximately 30 signatures on ballot petitions. Kenneth Davison, of Waukegan, and Jerry Knight, of Zion, were both indicted on charges of forgery and perjury by a Lake County grand jury. Charles Zaler, an attorney for the state Appellate Prosecutor's Office, said the two were among several people paid to circulate petitions last fall for Link's re-election bid. The petitions were investigated earlier in the year under a criminal probe by the State's Attorneys office.
-- Anish Eapen, ward superintendent for Alderman Bernard Stone (D-50th), was indicted Monday for allegedly using his badge and business cards to manipulate absentee votes in two hotly contested elections. Eapen and Armando Ramos were indicted on multiple counts of absentee ballot violations and mutilation of election materials, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office. Assistant State's Attorney Lynn McCarthy said Eapen misled voters about who could vote via absentee ballot, collected ballots from voters' homes, sat in the same room with voters as they voted, and mailed the ballots for them. In one instance, McCarty said, Eapen marked a ballot for a voter before sealing the envelope and mailing the ballot. Both men are scheduled to be arraigned on April 9.
-- A federal appellate court has ordered former East St. Louis Democratic Central Committee chairman Charlie Powell to be resentenced for vote fraud, saying his 21-month sentence is not long enough. Powell was convicted of orchestrating a conspiracy to pay voters either $5 or $10 apiece to vote for a slate of Democratic candidates in the 2004 election. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated Powell's sentence and remanded the matter back to the U.S. District Court. The appellate court also affirmed the vote fraud and conspiracy convictions of Powell, former precinct committeemen Jesse Lewis and Sheila Thomas, and former city director of regulatory affairs, Kelvin Ellis, all of East St. Louis.
-- According to the Chicago Tribune and KWQC-TV6 News, authorities announced today that an officer of Teamsters Local 743 in Chicago was indicted along with three former union employees for attempting to fix elections in 2004. Prosecutors allege that the acting president and three former representatives of one of the largest Teamsters locals in the country conspired to rig closely contested union elections to ensure an incumbent slate of officers won.
-- Edward Pinkney, a Benton Harbor activist, was sentenced to a year in jail and given five years’ probation. The sentencing follows a March 21 conviction in which Pinkney, 58, was found guilty on three counts of improper possession of absentee ballots and one count each of influencing voters while voting absentee and influencing voters with money.
-- Three unsuccessful candidates in the June Democratic primary election in New Jersey were charged this week with illegally helping disabled voters complete their absentee ballots. Lawrence James, 76, Carmella Burrell, 41, and Elaris Robinson, 74, all of Chesilhurst, were accused of assisting residents of the R & M Guest Home. James also is accused of illegally mailing absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots for the residents, the majority of whom suffer mental and medical disabilities. All three candidates were issued summonses on Monday, and they will appear in Superior Court in Camden at a later date, according to the prosecutor's office.
-- Eight employees of the Association of Community Reform Organizations Now (ACORN) have pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting false registration cards for the 2006 election, authorities said Wednesday. Catherine Hanaway, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, said the employees submitted cards with false addresses and names, and forged signatures. The employees are Brian Bland, 23, Bobbie Jean Cheeks, 50, Cortez Cowan, 21, Golden Gibson, 21, Radonna Marie Smith, 24, Anthony Reliford, 21, Kenneth Williams, 21, and Tyaira Williams, 23, all from St. Louis. In March, Kenneth Williams was sentenced to 15 months in prison. The others are scheduled to be sentenced in June. Each faces as much as five years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
-- A 67-page “Report of the Investigation into the November 2, 2004 General Election in the City of Milwaukee,” prepared by the Milwaukee Police Department Special Investigations Unit, chronicles the Election Commission’s failure to adequately ensure the eligibility of “on-site” (election day) registrants, resulting in widespread irregularities, disenfranchisement and fraud, including:
4,600 more votes cast and counted than voters recorded as having cast ballots, with no record pointing to the origin or eligibility of these ballots;
1,305 votes by “on-site” registrants who provided registration forms lacking sufficient information to be entered into permanent database, including
48 voters who provided no name; and
854 voters who provided no address;
Countless instances of ballots cast by ineligible “not in city” registrants;
At least 16 cases of campaign workers from out-of-state who voted while employed by a group or campaign attempting to influence the election;
Four deceased persons recorded as having voted; and
At least three instances of votes cast by ineligible felons.
Investigators also pointed out that 18 felons had been sworn in as deputy registrars prior to the 2004 election, including eight who listed ACORN as their sponsoring organization. Investigators found that ineligible absentee ballots were counted, while the ballots of “numerous” eligible voters were not counted. The report also focuses on systemic irregularities arising from colleges and homeless shelters within the city, concluding “vote portability and the abject poverty that defines homelessness, makes these unfortunate individuals vulnerable to become the tools of voter fraud by those that would exploit the homeless.”
-- Two veteran Democratic political operatives were sentenced to six months' probation with 40 hours of community service after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors in a 3-year-old voter fraud case. The two individuals had been charged with unlawful voting for casting ballots in the November 2004 municipal election outside of the voting district in which they lived at the time.
"The Times said voters appear to have been purged by mistake and not because of any intentional violations by election officials or coordinated efforts by any party."

Sorry to say, but I finished off the squirrel family. I saw them both run across the street today, but, they were in a tizzie. Mr. Squirrel was running away from Mrs. Squirrel because she caught him in a homo relationship with Poopstabber squirrel. Such is life (and death) I suppose. I guess he won't be posting here again. When asked for comment Mrs. Squirrel said, "he never had the nuts to deliver."

And here is the stuff that makes the voter fraud issue go up a notch:
http://www.click2houston.com/investigates/17671375/detail.html
It is one thing to just register folks and leave it at that. Who exactly is voting under the name of a dead person? And how?
http://www.click2houston.com/investigates/17671375/detail.html
Quote
But how many of the people listed on the voter roll are actually eligible to cast a ballot?
Investigative reporter Amy Davis shows you how hundreds of voters could sway this year's election -- voters who are not even alive.
"All-in-all, a great person, a great woman, just a wonderful person" is how Alexis Guidry described her mother to Local 2 Investigates.
"As far back as I can remember, they've always voted in the election," Guidry said of her parents.
The March 2008 Primary was no exception. Voting records show Alexis' mom, Gloria Guidry, cast her ballot in person near her South Houston home.
"It was just very shocking, a little unsettling," said Alexis Guidry.
It's unsettling because Gloria Guidry died of cancer 10 months before the March Primary.
"She'd be very upset," Guidry said when asked what her mom would think.
Trent Seibert, of Texas Watchdog, says you should be too.
"This is really disquieting. It's concerning. It's worrisome," said Seibert.
He heads up the non-partisan news group on the web.
Texas Watchdog compared Harris County's voter registration roll with the Social Security death index and found more than 4,000 matches -- registered voters that, it appears, are already dead.
Some of them, like Henderson Hill's late wife Linda, voted postmortem.
"I would like to know who did it, myself," Hill told Davis.
We don't know who used Linda Hill's or Gloria Guidry's IDs to vote, but we do know if their names had been purged from voter rolls after they died, using their IDs wouldn't have worked.
"This is a red flag. No matter where you are, this should set off alarm bells," Seibert said. "Someone needs to take a look at this."
It is one thing to just register folks and leave it at that. Who exactly is voting under the name of a dead person? And how?
