Help me catch up re: Nevada
I've been out of the country since last Tuesday - and the last I saw, the Goopers were busy shredding Dem voter registrations in Las Vegas and Oregon, among other places.

What happened? Why is this issue no longer in focus?

Thanks
Can

1. Too many voter registration problems popping up
throughout the country. Hard to keep track of them all.

To date: Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania.

Anyone heard of any others?

2. Provisional ballots in Nevada
A GOP Las Vegas judge refused to re-open the registration process. Early voting is underway, already with reports of Democrats who thought they registered not being on the voter rolls. One guy yesterday who registered Dem with one of the outdoor registration drives was not listed, while three family members who registered GOP at the same time WERE on the rolls.

They are allowing provisional ballots for voters who claim to have registered. Some of those people retain receipts showing they tried to register. The individual voters must prove they registered for the provisional ballots to count. They will be decided, apparently on a case-to-case basis, post election.

3. Won't help anyone - provisional ballots work only for people who are

registered.

If anyone was unfortunate to have been one of the democratic voters to have been thrown-away, THEY AIN'T REGISTERED & DON'T HAVE A POT TO PEE IN! according to the Clark County supervisor of elections.

Applications illegally thrown away - TUFF SHIT!

Didn't even think the case had merrit even when presented with the damn torn-up papers.

It seem that well, the guy who had the proof, only could manage to take a bunch out, but apparently these were not in sufficient number to merit further investigation.

...MAY have done...
...MAY be A FEW thrown away - but WE CAN'T BE CERTAIN...

Only one or two complaints so far - no proof.

Already, in early voting this weekend, there have been many - hundreds - who were expecting to be able to vote who were TURNED AWAY WITHOUT RECORSE!

...better luck next time fella...

They played their little "game" and even got caught - AND WILL GET AWAY WITH IT!
