“It does seem like there is an attempt to cast the specter of voter fraud over this election,” said Hebert. “Like there’s an attempt to get people all riled up in the base of the Republican Party, to say, ‘We’re not going to let people steal our election.’”

They're accusing the Democrats of what they, themselves, did in 2000 and 2004. They STOLE the election.

With record turnout and long lines, exactly how would Republicans expect someone to vote more than once?

I am so sad. If you cannot have faith in your democracy and that your vote truely counts how can you have confidence in your President and your parliament. When you know the election was fair and honest you get behind the elected person and all work for your country. Everyone I speak to in Australia hopes that Barack Obama becomes the next President of your wonderful country. We are also so fed up with the world crisises and just want some peace. On a small note: Now that the Taliban and the governments in Afganistan are to talk peace, does that mean Obama was right in wanting to talk.

It is the end game
The only solution to those problems is getting out the vote.

“If you just deny it,” Mitchell said, “then that means that anyone who wants to take any steps to protect the integrity of the process can only be doing that because they’re a racist.”

Actually, it means you are Republican and you are trying to minimize the voter turnout as that will benefit your party. It also means you are a low-down scum sucker and you should be in jail for attempting to interfere with the vote.

Federal prosecutors, do your duty!

ACORN is responsible for the mortgage crisis?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is one of the reasons my later father called the Republican Party mean-spirited. Without a doubt, their efforts to disenfranchise, intimidate, and misinform has been near-criminal. They are power-hungry and choose to often racist methods because they know they can not hold up to a full and fair election. I hate the way they have misappropriated the Christian faith and have even used the pulpit to bully congregants to voting Republican or else be deemed "doomed to hell." This is why it repulses me to know that even those of my race have taken up the mantra of their propoganda.

Even if someone's name is Mickey Mouse, what are the chances of this person having the matching address and other information of the fake person on the registration form?

What are the chances of that person showing up in California, say if they actually live in Georgia to vote in the same county, in the same precinct that the fake Mickey Mouse registered in?

Lastly, why would the real Mickey Mouse risk a year in jail in order to commit voter fraud, when they have an opportunity to vote in their own county at their own precinct?

Why can't we go with the purple thumb ink? That'd be cool. The GOP wouldn't have anything to whine about!

'No legit media ever gave Gore a victory', NO. Typical GOP amnesia. Most of the major media outlets called it for Gore as well as a guy named George W. Bush! It wasn't until the wee hours of the next morning that Florida looked tied and the GOP stole the election. 50,000 legal, registered voters wiped off the voter rolls by Jeb Bush, Thousands of elderly Jewish voters casting votes for Holocaust denier Pat Buchanan by the butterfly ballots... Any of that ring a bell?

If you're Republican, democracy only when works when the right people vote, and they'll be happy to let you know if you're not a member of the club.

sometimes I wish the Dems were as adamant as the GOP... then we would have had a president Gore and a President Kerry.
I'm all for international inspectors ~ I would like to KNOW that our vote is legitimate. Plus, this is all leading to a fanatical right-wing movement... and we all know how irate and hateful those people are already ~ are we ready to stand up for President Obama? We need to get ready to protect him and his good intentions that will lead this country out of the crapper we are currently in, because it will take some time.

I for one don't believe that we should stand for another election to be stolen by the Republicans's voter suppression tactics. If we have to have another country oversee our elections process, so be it. Then I think we should demand that fair election laws be put into place so that this type of travesty doesn't happen again. Maybe we should do what other countries do--everyone is automatically registered to vote at 18 and required to vote in elections.

I agree; The US should have internationl observers - to avoid another fiasco like in 2000.

I think we should let the International Inspectors that like they had, overseeing Zimbabwe's election to be part of the process. The stakes are too high and Republicans will be tempted to do the wrong thing. Remember Bush 2nd was a court appointed President back in 2000.....where FL votes were trashed on bogus technicality grounds...where they didn't have time to re-count the votes. This whole fiasco was engineered by local politicians in FL. Remember this is one of the tools they expertly use as part of a wining strategy.

I am so mad at the Democrats for ignoring the issue of voter suppression not only in 2000 but again in 2004. The fact that the Republicans can even breath the words "Democrats" and "voter fraud" in the same sentence is because the party has totally failed to be aggressive against the suppression that gave Bush his presidential terms.

It is their fault that the Republicans can weave this ridiculous narrative at all. And of course those of us crying voter suppression for EIGHT YEARS were considered "sore losers" and "conspiracy theorists." ARGH!

He sg=houldnt have to win in a landslide just to level the bias playing filed the GOP are intent on building.

They are a disgrace to democracy - and they are all supposedly Christians............... What would Jesus think?

Of course - they don't give a flying rats about Jesus -or you - or anyone - just power- It is etched all over McCain and Palin's face

Since when is verifying qualifications stealing? When of course it challenges the annointed one....In 2000 the US Supremes merely told the FLA supremes they were wrong..No legit media ever gave Gore a victory...ACORN along with its community activist lawyers are along with Barney Frank and Chris dodd responsible for the mortgage crises with their perverse racist affirmative action antics forcing banks to loan to any and all... SHEESH , the liberal/socialist mantra is horrifying.

I'm starting to believe that the Republicans are really the anti American party that they have been accusing the democrats of being. Between not feeling that the laws of this nation apply to them, i.e. Bush's signing statements, illegal wire tapping, usng the justice department for political purposes, not answering congressional suopenas, torture and this trash that has happened every election, they don't have a very honorable past. No wonder that new voters are overwhelmingly going Democratic. It seems to me that there's just not that much about the Republican Party that appeals to anyone who is not a racist.
