MIAMI, Oct. 26 - A federal district judge here dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday that was filed on behalf of more than 10,000 new voters whose registration forms had been rejected as incomplete.

The judge, James Lawrence King, said the labor unions that brought the case had no standing because they had not proved that any of their members were affected. Judge King also said several other plaintiffs, people who had turned in incomplete registration forms, could not blame their local elections supervisors, who were named as defendants.

"No federal or state statute,'' he wrote, "prescribes a time period within which a supervisor must notify an applicant that her application is incomplete.''

2. Too bad those 10K cannot show up en masse

That would be a chilling photo.. 10K people , all in black..holding signs that just say,.,

I am a US citizen
I registered in good faith
I was not allowed to vote..
I would have voted for.......


The media would HAVE to cover an event like that.. How would it look if there was another "close" one like 2k, and there were 10K people standing there , in the flesh countering the lie?
