[Sallow]

And here's the kicker..

Virginia Democratic Party spokesperson Brian Coy told the Post that red flags were raised by the fact that Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) was serving as a the Board of Elections’ legal adviser and was also on the ballot as the Republican Party’s nominee for governor

This "system" of doing things probably should be fixed I these cases. Now I don't know one way or another if he really is screwing over people.

I don't know how this doesn't raise some conflict of interest issues somewhere.

The guy who's running to be governor is involved in purging votes?

Really?


You know he's losing, too, right?

8 U.S.C. § 1373(c)

Cuccinelli is following the law:

(c) Obligation to respond to inquiries

The Immigration and Naturalization Service shall respond to an inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency, seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by law, by providing the requested verification or status information.

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) was serving as a the Board of Elections’ legal adviser and was also on the ballot as the Republican Party’s nominee for governor.

Clear conflict of interest going on here. He should have been immediately removed as "legal adviser" for the Registrar if he's on the freaking ballot.

Probably will have the same results as Florida, a complete fail.

Do you even know what Conflict of Interest even means?

He's running for governor and purging votes.

You don't see a problem with that?

 

[Meathead]

Virginia defies Democrat party lawsuit. WTF does that mean, in coherent non-liberal hack speech?

Amazing.

Next we'll have a guy who runs, say, a voting machine company vowing to do whatever he can to elect George Bush. Or running his campaign while serving as secretary of state in the same state.

Oh wait...

So have any of those 40,000 removed voters been shown to have been removed in error yet?

Can you just imagine what the right wing would say if President Obama did anything remotely close to that?

I realize illegal voters are the life blood of the Democratic Party, responsible for most of their victories. But you do understand that there is a law, and the law requires purging illegal voters from the rolls, right? And Cucinelli as AG is obligated to do this.
You wouldn't give a shit of course, if Cucinelli weren't running for Governor.

Correct, because they are either dead or have moved from the commonwealth. Dipshit.

I guess that means your ACORN bitches can't vote in their stead. Too bad scumbag.

Well considering the purge rolls are public, this is your BIG CHANCE to show that people are being removed in error, or deliberately. I'm sure some Media Matters dipshit squad is busy going over the purged rolls, and if there are any issues, they will be found.

I understand you folks don't like Democracy and are doing your very best to subvert it.

In Florida, with during the Al Gore/George W. Bush race, they used a "law" to purge "felons" from the rolls.

Later on, it was found that the "felons" weren't felons at all.

Back in 2000, 12,000 eligible voters – a number twenty-two times larger than George W. Bush’s 537 vote triumph over Al Gore – were wrongly identified as convicted felons and purged from the voting rolls in Florida, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. African Americans, who favored Gore over Bush by 86 points, accounted for 11 percent of the state’s electorate but 41 percent of those purged. Jeb Bush attempted a repeat performance in 2004 to help his brother win reelection but was forced to back off in the face of a public outcry. Yet with another close election looming, Florida Republicans have returned to their voter-scrubbing ways.

Yeah right?

Like when Charlie Rangel made the "radical" suggestion that the draft be reinstated and was subject to a tax audit by the Bush administration?

Or when the NAACP criticized the Bush administration for their policy and were audited?

President Obama should have fired those Bush appointees. But there are laws against that.
