Is this foreclosure voting thing that big of a deal?

Obviously it's sick, but is it not simple to get around? Just by bringing a power bill or something like that? I don't know for sure.
Also, big deal or not, Dems there HAVE to make this a national issue and make sure EVERY SINGLE VOTER IN THE STATE knows they are trying this. Or just get the foreclosed homes list and send people to them to explain the situation. You have almost two months, it should be possible.

1. It is, because they won't tell you if you've been purged

And you have to correct this several weeks before the election, or re-register at your new address several weeks before.

It sure can and will complicate matters for a lot of folks. It's especially troublesome because of the neighborhoods they are targeting.

4. Yes, because most of those foreclosed on are working class people who

most likely would vote for Obama. If they get away with it, these people won't be able to exercise their voting rights.

8. I hope so. I don't live in the affected areas or I would. But I hope

there will be those who do.

5. My suspicions are that it plays into the bigger plan hatched long ago.

6. Yes it is, you have to get their registration correct to where they live

If you try to vote using an address you don't live in it's fraud. You are correct we have to use the lists to get these people's situations taken care of.
