Obama Camp Sends 'Urgent Request for Assistance' to Louisiana SoS as Voters Find Party Registration Switched
Cites 'Widespread Reports' of Problems During Saturday's Primary, as Registration Issues in State After State Begin to Emerge
New Statewide Computerized Voter Roll Systems, Mandated by Help America Vote Act, Privatized by Voting Machine Companies Criticized by Experts...

More voter registration problems. This time in Louisiana during today's Democratic Party Primary. From the Obama campaign website just after 7pm ET Saturday night...

BATON ROUGE, LA— The Obama campaign submitted an urgent request for assistance to the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections today, after receiving widespread reports from Democrats across Louisiana who reported that they were not allowed to vote because their party affiliation had been switched. Hundreds of Louisiana democrats went to the polls to vote in today’s presidential primary and found that they were now on registration lists as Independent or Unaffiliated voters.


This is getting very bad...

circa 2000 to me...they took my name off the rolls in 2000 and I wasn't allowed to vote-scumbag bastards

3. They have to get rid of all machines before November or we could be...
in deep shit. Do like Canada does and use paper ballots that can be verified. I also think that they need to open the voting places to independent observers from other countries....

17. Yes it did happen in California..
I was an inspector (in charge of a precinct), and had quite a few folks who were surprised to learn that they were registered repuke. I didn't see any that were switched in the opposite direction.

Rove is still a busy little beaver behind the scenes.
