Massive Voter Registration Drive will be Bush's Doom

If Republicans read the above article, they're going to plotz in their panties.

These newly registered voters are not counted by any of the polling organizations as either "registered" or "likely" in any polls being done. The poll numbers are vastly under-representing voters who are registering to vote with one goal in mind -- to get rid of the worst President in American history.

And I must pat myself and my fellow Democratic activists on the back -- we worked (*)(*)(*)(*) hard for months and the payoff is all set. One more week and voter registration will begin to close and Republicans are just now belatedly realizing they've been bamboozled into believing that Bush was riding this surge in the polls -- when in actuality, Bush is going to lose in a landslide.

I'm sure that the Republicans in here will now come sprouting ancedotal stories of massive registering by Republicans but I know for a fact that that's false. I've been out in the trenches for months. Republicans have not been doing anywhere near the number of registering that my fellow Democrats have been doing. While the Republicans in here have been spewing lies and smears and wondering "where are all the Democrats?" a lot of us Democrats have been out in the street working to ensure the defeat of George W. Bush.

You can say what you want about whether the voters are enthralled with Kerry but it don't mean a thing -- those newly registered voters have one goal in mind -- to send that war-mongering idiot Bush permanently home.

Republican response is to make a joke about the CBS National Guard memo story (which by the way, a majority of Americans, 56%, believe was an honest mistake -- oops, guess you nutcases in here aren't as mainstream as you'd like to imagine).

But that's OK, you don't have the time to correct the mistake of ignoring the massive new voter registration -- you've got to live with the results of your laziness so I'm not really surprised that you don't wish to discuss the real topic of this thread. Poor babies. I'd feel sorry for you if you weren't such gits to begin with.

But as I understand it, there are a lot of dead people registering to vote. Along with the massive fraud that will be taking place in Wisconsin. I hate these register to vote drives, I think they do nothing more than encourage voter fraud. Illinois started motor voter when I lived there. It lead to one of the most widespread case of ineligible citizens voting. Here in Colorado, they don't even check my ID when I go to vote. It's ridiculous! You should have to provide a state issued ID, another form of photo ID, and social security card when you go to vote. And this register the day you vote thing is complete BS. How they think that won't cause massive voter fraud is beyond me. Get off up your butt, go to the courthouse and register. Then bring the required ID and show it to the staff at the place in which you vote. This will go a long way to control voter fraud.

The percentage of newly registered voters from Dem areas is significantly higher than those from Repub areas, at least in Florida and Ohio.

The analysis by The New York Times of county-by-county data shows that in Democratic areas of Ohio - primarily low-income and minority neighborhoods - new registrations since January have risen 250 percent over the same period in 2000. In comparison, new registrations have increased just 25 percent in Republican areas. A similar pattern is apparent in Florida: in the strongest Democratic areas, the pace of new registration is 60 percent higher than in 2000, while it has risen just 12 percent in the heaviest Republican areas.

Also, many of these GOTV groups are not just focusing on registration, but they'll be out on Nov. 2nd, working to get people to the polls.

Dems are working overtime to get new voters registered and to the polls.

Some Republicans, however, are doing whatever they can to crush democracy ---

Voters-rights advocates are criticizing two recent decisions by Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell that they say will unfairly limit some people's ability to vote Nov. 2. Blackwell's office has told county boards of elections to follow strictly two provisions in Ohio election law:

One requires Ohio voter registration cards be printed on thick, 80-pound stock paper.

The other ordered boards to strictly interpret the rules regarding provisional ballots, the ones cast by voters who move before the election but are still registered in Ohio.

The paper-stock issue is frustrating Montgomery County Board of Elections officials, who have a backlog of registrations to complete. If they get an Ohio voter registration card on paper thinner than required, they are mailing a new card out to the voter. But if they still have the backlog by the registration deadline, Oct. 4, voters will not have another chance to get their correct paperwork in, said Steve Harsman, deputy director of the Montgomery County board. In Montgomery County there is a backlog of around 4,000 registrations, Harsman said. A few hundred could be affected by this provision, he said.

Priceless.

The Republicans missed out on the massive voter registration drive.

Let's not give them the heads up about how Democrats are going to be out in force on Nov. 2 getting those new voters to the polls. We want Republicans to slap themselves in the head on Nov. 3 and say, "If only I hadn't wallowed in my own negative-slinging filth on the internet while Democrats worked their asses off to defeat George W. Bush."

Oops, guess I let the catz out of the bag -- but I'm not worried -- we Dems have nearly a 6-10 times lead in new voter registration advantage as the deadline looms. So let the Republicans quote their polls all the while we Democrats can just smile to ourselves with the knowledge that the polls are not counting how these Democratic new voters are going to overwhelmingly throw George W. Bush out of office. And let Republicans sooth their neglect by imagining that none of these newly registered Democratic voters will actually vote on Nov. 2. lol

How Republicans are going to look on Nov. 3:

Or maybe we'll get more of JP5 accusing us hard-working Democrats of "cheating". lol

Hehehe you dems are funny..

You think us republicans have been doing nothing this whole time...We are rich, we hire people to do work and we just supervise... giving us time to come here and blast you...

BTW...

Register all the people you want.. they may vote and they may not...

Republicans have been STEALING your constituency while you chased after "possible" voters...

"A final note, and a final worry for Kerry, is political party identification. It's shifted lately, which is not surprising in an election; moving political allegiance is what campaigns are all about. Republicans held an advantage in party allegiance among likely voters in the last ABC/Post poll, taken after Bush's convention: 38 percent to 32 percent, with 26 percent independents. It's a closer 35-36-24 percent in this poll, yet Bush still leads."

Notice the words... afinal worry for Kerry.. and It's shifted lately.. or Republicans held an advantage...

I love those words...
