K&R

And where is the DNC?

Outside of a few news sources, no news sources have even mentioned that this is going on. Nobody has said anything one way or the other about what the Obama administration or the Attorney General are doing about this.

will come up with the answer. I have a hunch it is not a question that is cut and dried.

Being a reactionary is not a power position, because others can predict what you're going to do with some probability of being accurate.

And just because you aren't seeing something, especially something that you can even define, doesn't mean that it isn't there, whatever it is. Doesn't mean it is there either, just that you don't know one way or the other.

Usually restricted to if there's evidence of specifically targeting disenfranchisement of a certain group.

That said, they have made moves against other states in the past year on similar grounds, so they may be taking similar action on Florida. We probably won't know until they announce something.

It occurred to me this morning that this is the perfect job for Occupy movements around the country (or MoveOn or OFA or any other group) to become involved in. Instead of marching or camping out with mixed messages, organize a volunteer voter-assistance campaign down in Florida. Lawyers and organizers could train us how to assist people who have been given these notices--to get them back on the voter rolls by (a) helping them locate their documents; (b) helping them get to the offices for hearings; and just generally serving as their citizen advocates. I would fly down to spend 4 or 5 days there to help out if there were a well-organized, savvy (in the law) organization with a good training component.

There isn't enough time before the election for the federal government to complete a suit against Florida ... as you know, these types of things take eons to move their way through the courts. In the meantime, WE could be helping to get people who have been kicked off reinstated. And it would be great publicity about voter fraud--sort of like the Freedom Riders who invaded the South to bring attention to the horrid segregation laws.

My 2 cents.
