Secretary of State rules against GOP objection to voters

Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller today ruled that voters whose registrations were on time, but incomplete or incorrect, may cast regular ballots after correcting their applications.

The legal interpretation was a response to a letter from Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman Sue Lowden, who argued that voter registrations that were not complete by the deadline shouldn't allow those people to vote.

    So, OMGSTFU! "Steve" obviously URAFJ!

    I read quite a bit. Just not anything with the name Kennedy, Clinton, or Reid attached to it because I already know the ending; "It's a vast right-wing conspiracy...".

    The "doesn't match" isn't silliness. Why, in your opinion, should ACORN be allowed to complete false registrations and they not be checked/rejected? Do you believe "legitimate" voters should be "disenfranchised" simply because some criminal elements want to get "the Messiah" elected?

RFK JUNIOR has written a book called something like "Steal Back Your Vote" and he has been all over the news and talk shows on this subject because the "doesn't match" silliness is just that. We have a law that gives people 15 days to correct it and the Secretary is correct to stand by the law. A movie indeed. Do you get out much? Read any???

    JC wrote on October 22, 2008 04:09 PM: Yes Herb, then the Democrats wont be able to "still" this election from people like you and Carolyn (see Carolyn's post below.)


    Steve wrote on October 22, 2008 04:02 PM: "Did any of you see RFK, Jr. talking about them kicking people off the rolls if their registration says Robert F. Kennedy and their driver's license says Robert Francis Kennedy because "they don't match". Just any excuse to keep people from exercising their right to vote."

    Are you talking about the movie? Do you understand that's just a movie? It's made by hollywood extreme left-wing moron radicals whose whole purpose is to sell tickets?

    "My god, of course you should be able to correct something like that within 15 days."

    Why not 30 days; 2 years; 50 years? Why limit it to 15 days? Why are you trying to "disenfranchise" voters who don't get a chance to "correct" it within 15 days?

    Miller was right in what the law says. That doesn't make it right to allow illegal aliens to steal others' information and vote illegally.


    herb wrote on October 22, 2008 04:00 PM: People who can't correctly fill out a simple application shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway, but then there would be no democrats. Next time learn how to spell "Homer Simpson" correctly and this won't be an issue.


    JC wrote on October 22, 2008 03:55 PM: Carolyn,

    Exactly what election are the Democrat's "still"ing? LOL.
