GOP accused of purging voters' names in error

By Richard D. Walton

Marion County Democrats on Thursday charged the GOP with playing politics with the voter registration rolls by canceling registrations of qualified voters.

Republicans said the cancellations were the result of recently discovered errors that can be corrected before the fall election, and the fact they were caught shows that the safeguards in place work.

At issue is the planned purging of more than 4,000 registrations of people registered in more than one place.
Postcards were sent to those folks notifying them that their ability to vote was in jeopardy.

At Thursday's meeting of the Marion County Election Board, it was revealed that 18 people complained they were mistakenly earmarked for purging.

Remember remember the 12th of December,
the vote counting treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the vote counting treason
should ever be forgot...

If we forget, they'll do it again.

"can be corrected before the fall election" - but won't be ... more likely, will be expanded

6. 'The fact that you caught us cheating proves you have nothing

to worry about'.

Ah, Republican logic.

7. They should be required to also phone those people at both

phone numbers and to leave messages if they're not home.
