Purging Eligible Voters in Swing States

Oh... someone please talk me down. I know I made a quip about Groundhog Day earlier, but this...

Colorado is the swing state getting the most attention, currently, because things have now gotten legal there: did they or didn't they purge 30,000 eligible voters from their list? Meaning, lots of people who registered can show up at the polls only to find that their names are not on the list of voters permitted to vote. Hmm...

Here are the other swing states (yes, the all-important swing states) that may be trying to engage in some kind of dirty Voter Suppression: Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina.

Please read my earlier post, Don't Be a "Mickey Mouse" At the Polls. Before you head out to vote. It may not be enough to keep your vote protected, but at least it's something.

And btw, is every one of our Presidential Elections going to be like this now? It used to be that candidates just needed to earn that "Margin of Victory." Has that changed now, though, into just needing to pass the "Margin of Litigation"? (%$#@!*...)

LISTEN UP, you dirty elected officials, whoever and wherever you are: We the People own you. We hire you, and you can bet your ass we can fire you... So you better start learning how to fight fair.
