Mark, I support counties and the State doing the jobs that they are already amply paid to perform!

Convicted felons may vote in Minnesota if they are no longer on parole or probation. Do you imagine that ACORN, or anyone else, is checking those voter registrations thoroughly?

As to the evidence, a summary is provided on-line at http://www.minnesotamajority.org/TheIssues/ElectionIntegrity/tabid/188/Default.aspx

Dennis, I take it you support the legislature funding the counties so they can purge their voter rolls everytime somone dies or moves? Because those are your 108-year-old voters and duplicate registrations. And, like it or not, felons who’ve served their time can vote in Minnesota. It’s called serving your time. If you want an Islamic system in which felons are marked for life by losing a hand or being branded, just say so.

And to echo Thomas, yes, I would love to see your evidence on your other claims. Someone on TV saying something isn’t proof, you know.

Dennis –

Thousands and thousands and hundreds?

Where is this evidence?

The Minnesota Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, has consistently ignored evidence presented to him regarding problems with voter registration in Minnesota, including
· thousands of voter records that have an exact match on the criteria of first name, middle name, last name and birth year;
· several thousand voters registered after August 1, 1983, that had birth years suggesting these individuals are 108 years of age or older;
· nearly 2,000 individuals who appear to have registered and voted before the age of 18;
· thousands of individuals flagged as deceased are still on the active voter rolls;
· the discovery by Fox 9 News of 100 convicted felons who had newly registered to vote in 2008. Some were registered while in prison, suggesting someone else may have registered in their name.
Sooo . . . isn’t that a lot for Mr. Ritchie to be sweeping under the rug? What does HE have to hide?

The Strib used to be a newspaper. It is now a right wing rag that just spews the daily talking points of the Republi-thug party.

Slate used to have interesting material.

I am so tired of all this. Put it to bed! We won, you lost. Get over it.

Franken won’t win a second term, so who even cares?

Did you see his ridiculous update? Why he’s just asking questions, is all! Without any facts! Which of course leads one to wonder: When was the last time Mickey performed cunnilingus on a member of the goat species?

This is why the Strib’s legitimizing of Katherine Kersten was so odious from the start. Without the columnist gig she’d be just another blogger in the wilderness, but the Strib did an affirmative reactionary hire leapfrogging a mediocrity into a job senior journalists would kill for. Then the Strib never fact checked her other than for libel.

Long-time blogger Suzie Madrak is saying that ACORN is the new code speak for the “n” word. I ran Kersten’s Franken/ACORN post through Wordle.net and this was the result:

Wordle’s a somewhat whimsical tool, but it outs clumsy propagandists like nothing else can.
