Democracy is a great thing! You can vote self interest and you do not have to tell anyone who did you vote for. If you think you deserve better and more affordable healthcare, better schools, help with collage education, pay less taxes, America be energy independent, vote Obama.

Whats with you people? The United States of America, the richest Country in the world...and you can't even run a fair and honest election!!! Why are there millions of people in your country who are not even registered to vote? In most modern world democracies such as Western Europe and Canada, every citizen is registered to vote by law. Every single citizen whether they are white, black yellow, red, or brown should be registered to vote. Somehow the phrase "home of the free" sounds hollow and meaningless. The first thing the new President should do is make it manditory in law that every single American citizen be automatically registered to vote.

The republicans are foul. Just foul.

Look what they're doing in my state... McCain's campaign sent out a bunch of voter registration flyers that were deliberately misleading just to get people to improperly fill them out so they'd disqualify themselves from voting this election.

I got one, but luckily my neighbor who got one too notified me of the scam. I live in Mahoning county iand I'm going door to door to tell everyone not to vote McCain this fall.

That's it! I'm voting for Obama now!!

SAD

This is just one of the Republican schemes to prevent Americans, especially blacks, from voting. There are other states where people are sent purposely confusing forms which if improperly responded to can result in them not being registered to vote. And some states now demand drivers licenses as i.d. before you can vote, thereby disenfranchising those too poor to drive.

I don't understand why Americans stand for this. What is more precious than preserving the right to vote?

This would be the only way McCain/Palin would win.

mcain+bush+rov+palin+cheney another 8yrs?
you really want them again? really? comeon america wake up.
another 8yrs of them? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
i am sick of tired of them.

Your grammar betrays you. No way you have four college degrees.

It seems the right is content to just say Obama is not offering solutions, and believe their own empty hype. McCain has no viable economic strategy except to tie it up in committee and hope it goes away. Obama has been sticking to the same plan since what, like March? Economists both in the states and out say his is the more likely solution. McCain has gone from opposing regulation to insisting on a 9/11 style crisis committee in the last thirty hours!

I suppose next you're going to tell me you support abstinence education would have saved you from being a 15 year old mother.

This is a terrible! In America one of the most precious thing that we have is our right to vote...and a democratic society. The Republicans are trying to replace our democracy into an autocracy. They have pretty much succeeded for the past 8 years. I am ready for a change. Even with all of the Republicans lies, hate speech, manipulations, evasions of responsibility and bad policies....I believe that the world is crying out for new leadership...and that's what we're gonna' get. Go Obama/Biden!!!!

Republicans stop at nothing, kind-of scary really. What next?!?

Michigan has become this election cycle's pinata. I think Michigan, that cold state, would appreciate someone like Palin, someone who can tough out those frozen months – a rustic and nature loving individual. ALso, I would think the unions in Michigan would identify with her husband. Michigan is a blue collar state and can relate to down-to-earth, hard working individuals. Not some ivy league, blow hard, elitist. Wait and see – Michigan will go with McCain and Palin.

Silence the people most effected by Republican policies.
This is criminal........sad.

The Republican Party has sunk to a new low.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE SLIME-BALLS!! I will NEVER vote for a Republican ticket again.

Threats to block voter access!!!!.....will the Republicans stop at nothing...THEY NEVER HAVE. For once, they've been caught!

hey Jo
Please check your facts about why Obama wasn't on the ballot and who broke what rules. Vote Republican if you want. I only hope your country is still here when you pull your head out of the sand.

So the wingnuts are threatening legal action to stop something that was started to stop something they started? ....

And yet, they say it was a 'rumor'???

Why bother threatening legal action then?

What a bunch of morons....

Just another example of crooked republican political efforts to ensure they win the state of Michigan. After all, it worked with Florida in 2000 with the infamous hanging chads! The democrats know what you're up to! We aren't stupid enough to let you get away with cheating to win another election again! I hope the american people will finally realize just how vile and crooked the republican party has become and choose not to believe their lies like they have for eight years. People, wake up!!!!!!!!! Don't look at Obama as that younger black man who seems scary. He's trying to make your life better and help you. You don't have to be scared of him! Don't look at McCain as that nice older gentleman with white hair who seems so friendly and willing to help you. He's lying to you just to get your vote. YOU SHOULD BE SCARED OF HIM! Vote for Obama. You will be glad you did in the long run.

The Republicans will stop at nothing to make sure qualified citizens can't vote. Wonder what part of town they're pulling these stunts in? Guess. I live in Georgia, support Obama, and am afraid to put a sign in my front yard or on my car for fear of my family's safety. I don't recognize the America I live in anymore.

A candidate that subcontracts "get out the vote" work to the tainted ACORN organization (known for voter registration fraud in several states) probably should not protest voter registration issues. I suppose the "dead voters" will be living at the foreclosure addresses.

Despicable! I guess McCain/Palin and their cronies will go to any lengths to disenfranchise voters who probably wouldn't vote for them. We've seen it before and it appears to be happening again with the ballot approved by Haley Barbour in Mississippi. Of course the person who made the comment is going to deny it! Do we have to walk around with tape recorders now?

He certainly has the campaign money to file a suit and what a way to spend it, after all its really not hard earned like the rest of us now is it? There is no way in the world that it is necessary for either party to throw good money after bad, when America could use it in many ways.

Rather scary to think the Good Old Party is capable of doing such dishonest things...and yet, no big surprise.

If I recall it was TheCrock Obama that didnt want Michigan seated in the primaries. And now all of the Detroit libs are so in love with Barry. If Obama gets in the White House you can count on his administration being just as crooked as the Detroit Mayor's.

Another manufactured lie from the Dems... an all blogging newspaper that's funded by Souros is supposed to be impartial... give me a break. They stand by their story, but have no audio of this supposed conversation... we're supposed to rely on her "notes" as the smoking gun.

Just like Florida... just count the people who vote your way... skrew the rest.

You all are a bunch of pathetic lemings. God, can't anybody READ ANYMORE!!!!! If you look at the story, it is a COMPLETE fabrication made by a left wing blog.. that is the entire aspect of this media. Have a blog make up a story, then the main stream media picks up on it, and pretty soon your lame ole story is a major headline news about a lame old blog that is making waves.

Don't you fools realize that anyone can blog about anything, and that doesn't' make it true. The entire story is a "quote" not backed up by any witnesses, facts, or proof !!!! Of course ya all just jump all over it like the dim-wittings you are.

This really is just the Dems laying the groundwork trying to already establish lawsuits in Michigan so that when Obama looses, they will be the new Florida. And of course all of your responses will be submitted as "evidence". Grow up people, open your eyes and use your brain for what God intended it to be.

This is as lame as it gets coming from the nasty, dirty, scheming Chicago politician named Barck Obama.

You're the real PIG...why don't you help murder another infant...at least that's one piece of legislation you didn't vote 'present' on.

You're lucky Roe vs. Wade wasn't in effect in 1960, otherwise you would have never been born.

Oh well...the world's an imperfect place.

Desperate democrats dig deep but they will lose!

They put all their money on the wrong horse, Obama, and Governor Sarah Palin is helping Senator John McCain win the race!

McCain/Palin 08! They will deliver the reforms Americans can believe in!

Hey, JO, it was thanks to the REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE OF FLORIDA THAT WENT AGAINST THE RULE'S, IT WAS THANKS TO YOUR DIRTY REPUBLICANS THAT THE FIASCO WITH FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN HAPPENED, HOW CAN PEOPLE STILL FALL FOR THE REPUBLICAN SLEEZEBAG TRICKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT BRING THE U.S BACK DOZENS OF YEARS.

Hey McCain, where's the "reform" in your sleezy ads, your voter suppression tactics (caging and push polling), and your outright lies?!

P.S. Don't say "my friends" to me anymore. I did vote for you in 2000 when you were "maverick". You changed and not for the better!

In all honestly, I think we should call out for help from some other countries to sent in independent observers for our own election... what ashame!

The McCain campaign is in panic, they know they are doomed.

Americans won't reward reuplicans for their bankrupt idees for the last 8 years.

With lies and all kinds of gimmicks they hope to trick amricans again.

No chance McSame und Palin the whole world already broadcasts
around what kind of goofs you 2 are. haha

Obama / Bidern 08

It's about time the Democrats acted BEFORE the election scamming instead of AFTER when nothing can be done about it.

Obama/Biden '08

This is unimaginable, beyond dirty, beyond politics, I hope they go to jail for this! They are trying to take away people's rights for personal gain, this is outrageous!

Hey McCain – Where's the reform in sleezy ads, voter suppression and outright lying?

I am not "your friend" either, so quit saying "my friends" when you lie to us!

All of this does need to get exposed. What about the millions of false absentee ballots the McCaign campaign sent out to Democrats in swing states? This is just wrong, I read that it could be a felony.
So how can the McCain campaign get away with this.
Please everyone do a search for this. Look up "voter caging" Michigan Ohio. When they were called on it recently, the McCain campaign said it was a mistake. I highly doubt it-do you know how expensive it is to print out a million fliers or more with fake absentee ballots? How it works is that the person sends the ballot in thinking it is real, and then their vote does not count! Can you believe that?
Do you want a President that would resort to such illegal tactics. It is true. Don't lie to yourself.

The Republicans act like slime-ball crooks.

The minute I saw McCain/Palin's television sex education advertisement was the minute I pulled away from the Republican ticket. It was absolute filth! Now this? I'll NEVER vote Republican again!!!

And they'll all be thumping the Bible come Sunday morning!
Discusting!

The Republicans are just SLIME!

The Republicanswill stop at nothing. I hope the people of Michigan realize that many people are suffering. It will be interesting to see if voters stick with what got them there or will they step out in a new direction.
OBAMA/BIDEN

The GOP is no different from Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe.

those who voted George Bush in 2000 and 2004 have contributed to the present economic woes in the country. If you think you hurting Obama by voting for McCain , good luck.
Al Gore lost 2000 but he is now a Nobel Prize Winner.. Presidency is not the peak of accomplishment in a man's life. Some presidents will be forgotten immediately they leave office. Some people who do have never had any political position will be well remembered and long remembered.. Example Dr. Martin Luther King.
Vote because a candidate will protect your interest . Dont vote because of age , gender , race or religious affiliation.. McCain nominated Paulin to pander white women and evangelical vote. IT so unfortunate

IS anyone surprised. They hijacked the Presidency in 2000 and know they can't win in 2008, so they are using these tatics.

But as always Obama will come out on top. He does't play this tricks.

This should not be taken lightly. Now if one state thinks that this will work in favor of the the GOP then you best believe that the GOP in the other 49 states will think the same way and try and follow suit. LISTEN UP DNC. We need to have POLL WORKERS at every polling station. It's very important that we volunteer to work the polling stations. I've already signed up'ed and I am trying to get as many of my friends and family members to do the same. The GOP has proven themself to be lower than low and will stop at nothing to get McSame into office. PLEASE volunteer in your local area. NOT THIS TIME, NO WAY NO HOW, NO MCCAIN/PALIN.!

it'll come down to he said/she said, I expect. If there were emails, they're deleted, if there were memos, they're shredded. And it is, of course, remotely possible that this particular Republican was planning on running a clean election. Though it's hard to believe that a journalist of the caliber of Eartha Melzer would make up a quote like that.

i wanted to know who the mental ill to vote republian again. can you see what they have then to this counrty. mcain has been in the senate for 26 years and he was the cause of the crisis in this counrty for voting with bush 90 percent of the time. go to the huffington post and see how many times mcain has flip flop. he is the biggest flip flopper. do your really think mcain will help this counrty think again.

Just wait,you aint seen nothin yet,these folks have in more dirty tricks to come.

I knew this would come up sooner than later, does anyone remember what the Bush campaing did with the military overseas voters? If you wanted Bush to win I bet you don't!

This is why I can't vote for McCain. I just don't understand him!!!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN/PALIN

They are using the same tactics in Ohio and have logged 600k plus people in their database to challenge their votes if they ever vote at all. This is criminal and vile since all these people lost their homes due to MCBush's trickle-down economics. What a travesty!

The Republicans are going to steal yet another election, mark my words.

I agree with read the Case Against Obama. I want to hear answers to issues, we learned how to call names in kindergarden. I recent Larry King and others asking about her teen daughter, special needs child. I was a 15 yr old mother, have 4 college degrees, work in healthcare, support military families and have a special needs child, and I pay 33% in taxes. So lets get to the issues the Insurance companies are crooks. The military has what is the closest thing we have to socialized medicine. We work for a salary, love our patients, send them to specialists if needed. Change the thought pattern. Woman hold very high and powerful positions so get off the woman issue. Woman will be more than 50% of the tax payers. While Americans think they can pick welfare over minimum wage jobs to give those jobs to immigrants legal or illegal get a life go to work and quit sitting on the side lines.

Hey, is`nt Oboma the Democratic nomenee because Fla. and Michigan never got counted? Sen. Clinton won the nomination if they had counted Fla. and Michigan. Spare me the phony outrage!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08 & '12

to hell with palin!

Here in North Carolina, Republicans are mailing bogus absentee ballots to registered Democrats, intending for them to vote on the fake ballots and not go to the polls.

This is hilarious. Nothing but lies. But McCain and palin know how to lie very well.

1. Telepromter not working? Lie!
2. Cooperate with an investigation? Lie!
3. Don't know about the economy ( said my mccain in march ) But now
hedoes?
4. O'bama an elitist? ( McCain owns 9 homes, worth millions.gofigure)
5. Made a motion to investigate possible wrong doing in Alaska, then
filed another motion against that motion. DUH DUH
6. Has Lobbyists on his staff that works with AIG and Bank of America
and we bail them out?
7. Ex -chairman that still works for McCain dealt with non regulating
banks and mortgage lenders resulting IN THE ECONOMY WE
NOW HAVE. THANKS MCBUSH, YOU ARE PART OF THE REASON
FOR THE COLLAPSED ECONOMY WE HAVE NOW.

Don't believe me? MSNBC JUST REPORTED THIS 30 MIN AGO>

O'bama/Biden

But the average voter is not learned– so do not waste your breath!

Vote smart this November. Vote good judgment. If you say that our economy is good now, you are an elitist and you do not know our struggle to put food on our bellies and gas in our cars. John McCain that elitist think the economy is good and has no plan to help us. He wants more wars, more tax cut for big corporate that ship our jobs oversees. Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania I know that your economies are hurting and you must vote smart and vote someone who understands your economics’ struggles. It is not time to support someone who does not understand the economy, it is time to take our country back and get our respect back around the world. Vote Democratic this November if you are a true American who put America first. We need change in Washington and the Democratic Party has that change for us this November.

how could obama won michagan he didnt even put his name on the ballot now imagane if obama had well see what percent mccain lead

JO – you wrote, in part: "Didn't he win an election by making sure others couldn't run, and by checking voters out too."

I believe that what Sen. Obama did was verify that the signatures were those of actual registered voters. (It takes a certain number of signatures to get on the ballot.) This was certainly his right – his obligation, really – ...prevents one person from signing several different names. If he followed the rules, shouldn't everyone else have followed the rules?

This thing in Michigan is something else. This is denying an American his/her right to vote.

How low will the republicans go to try to steal another election. Remember Florida anyone? First the party is trying to sweep TROOPERGATE under the rug now this. Wake Up People.

This is hilarious. Nothing but lies. But McCain and palin know how to lie very well.

1. Telepromter not working? Lie!
2. Cooperate with an investigation? Lie!
3. Don't know about the economy ( said my mccain in march ) But now

This is so sad. How far will the Republicans go to win the White House?

Just like the Republicans to make sure people who are down on their luck stay down.

You can't really trust the source, but then again you can't really trust the republicans to do the right thing. I think its clear that they'll do anything to win, including something as disgusting as this.

Commenting on blogger Jo's remarks......You weren't going to vote for him in the beginning! If you supported Obama in the beginning, you will support him in the end. That is if you are a "true" democrat and not a selective one.

dirty dirty dirty......did i mention dirty....... america....only those who can afford to keep their homes ,can vote? america? land of the free? where every citizen has the right to vote? america has been hijacked by GOP. aren't these some of the same tactics used by germans in 1933?

To jo...you go right ahead and vote for republican and you will be on skid row just like the rest.

I am NOT surprised, thats the GOP for ya!

Obama-Biden 08.12

I'm sure McCain is willing to steal this election just like his other little buddy did.

Republicans once again trying to repress the Consitutional right of every American by denying them the right to vote! Florida repeated. Their attitude is to Hell with the Constitution, as long as we win, and McCain is in Lock Step with this attitude.

I could hardly wait to be old enough to vote! It is the birthright of every citizen.

I have volunteered to register people to vote, I have been a caller to remind people to get out and vote.

Why is it that instead of encouraging and helping citizens be enabled to vote, the Republican party has initiated efforts that KEEP qualified citizens from voting? They initiated caging. Caging eliminates voters from the voting lists, like students who are away at college, but whose permanent address is home. Like military personnel.

Like using Diebold machines whose manufacturer said he woud "do anything" to get Bush elected. We need to go back to PAPER ballots everywhere. Ask an auditor. We need the paper trail.

One horror story from last election was a women in a rest home who did not drive, and whose drivers license had expired. She was not allowed to vote because she did not have picture ID.

On the seamy side, someone is mailing out "notices" to voters that election day has been changed to Nov. 5.

McCain's campaign has been sending out absentee ballots that some voters have sent in, only they were rejected because the wording was not correct.

In the midwest, one of the governor's was endorsing legislation for more and stricter voter ID to avoid voter fraud. The reporter asked, "how many cases of voter fraud have you had and prosecuted?" The answer: NONE So why the big deal to make it harder for people to vote?

The truth is, Democrats try to help EVERYONE have the opportunity to exercise the right to vote. Why are the Republicans so reclacitrant to see as many citizens as possible vote?

Seems un-American to me.

Typical Republican politics. Country First? Which "Country First"? Oh sorry, I guess it's just the same old "Rich" first.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

I hope this is not a deciding state because we might loose again like in 2000 and 2004. If he has a cousin or uncle in public office that we don't know about or BROTHER lets keep our fingers crossed.

Next you morons will be claiming he is the father of Bristol's little "blessing"!

What kind of scum steals people's votes?

Republican scum.

voter registration, sounds familiar. Chicago like politics and they want you to believe McCain thought this up. give us a break people see right through Obama that's why he is falling behind

BETTER BE SURE CUZ ITS WELL KNOWN SOME OF OBAMAS COMMUNITY ORGANIZING WAS IN THE REALM OF VOTER REGISTRATION. YOU THOUGHT ALDORE GOT THE SHORT STICK IN FLA WAIT TILL THE OBAMA CREW TWEAKS THE TURNOUT IN A FEW MORE CRUCIAL STATES.

Jo,
The difference is that what Obama did in Chicago was LEGAL. This is NOT. And as far as Michigan and Florida go, the only reason Obama was able to get their delegates was because THEY broke the rules by moving up their primaries. Let's put the blame where it really belongs.

Lynn:60 yr old Obama supporter – - ,,,and liberty, democracy, constitution, etc. is lost.

Good Lord! The Republicans cheat?

SURPRISE, SURPRISE

MK we don't need to. We are above international law just ask Bush!

This sounds like something out of the ACORN organizer playbook.

When lying continuously doesn't work, stop people from voting all together.

Way to go republicans! You show your dishonor everyday!

Wow, the McCain Campaign has sunk to a new low...

LOW DOWN DIRTY REPUGNICANS.

AND YOU PEOPLE WANT TO RE-ELECT THESE INCOMPETENTS FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS !!!! ????!!!!!!!!!!

I can belief this. You mean McCain and RNC want to prevent common polple that are currently in crisis not to vote?

So much for the standard bearer of modern democracy

to all boggers im a black woman and im 51 yrs old, ive voted since i was 18 i and all americans have always voted for someone that was white i never cried foul, i was"nt always for sen obama until i heard him on the issues and it hit my wallet, ive listened to both canidates obama won my vote because he was the most capable to me to get us out of this mess. if you dont vote for him because he is black it"s your lost and you will feel it nov5. obama biden08.

Obama's dirty Chicago style politics should definitely be watched. He's learned how to get people kicked off the ballot and how to find dead people to vote for him.

Definitely an election result to be watched VERY closely.

The Republicans Will Do Anything To Stay In Power! Lie Cheat Steal Anything! We Must Vote For Obama By A Large Margin Or They Will Steal This Election!

Yes this is unreal.

Unreal because it nothing more than a fabricated lie by a liberal blog.

Yeah. If it's on the internet it must be true. I'm voting against Obama, but I hope he wins.

I am retired comfortably. But for amusement in my old age, I want to see all of the smug young citizens of this country who have no "high salary" skills, standing in the Obama bread lines.

Tax the rich, well that would be me, create new government bureaucracies, double the salaries of the newly hired bureaucrats, and do what bureaucrats do.... nothing.

Think twice Palin want to attack Russia and Pakistan and give Georgia UN memberships. That was third world war just start by the republicans.
I am a Democrat and I am voting for McCain. Oh no! Why are you betraying Barack? You know why! Because John McCain had invented the Black Barry. I love my blackberry. McCain know Washington for 30 years, Barack is new to Washington. McCain is smart and does not understand the economy and I am thrill to vote for McCain. McCain is rich and Barack is not. McCain has many houses and Barack does not. If I Americans get evicted from their homes they can get a room each from McCain. McCain is the real deal that will shake up Washington and himself because he is an insider. Sarah Palin is a foreign policy expert because she can see Russia from Alaska Joe Biden cannot see Russia from Delaware. This is why I am not voting for McCain.

Good thing Republicans are the Party of FAMILY VALUES.... because you'd never know it from the slimy things they do!!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!! VOTE SMART... NOT SENILE!!!!

Not surprised!

Jo..you were going to vote Republican anyway...admit it and move on...stop the dramatics based on lies!!

Obama won the primaries by playing by the rules of the DNC...get over it...

Nothing surprises me with the Repugnant Party...

I say we bring in the United Nations election monitors for the upcoming election – especially in Michigan, Ohio, and Florida

I have to say that is just stupid on the part of the Obama campaign and Obamas camp should be the LAST ones to talk about stong arming voters, using false security numbers, deceased people etc. during the Primaries.

Homeless people have a right to vote!!!

So terrible! The republicans are so desperate to keep the white house. I won't be surprised to hear about the rest of the tactics!

VOTE democrat or sink in shame around the world.
GWB you made this bed......time to sleep in it. Grandpa Johnny and Madame Plain will visit you at the Crawford ranch.

This wouldn't surprise me if it were absolutely true. Has everyone checked their voter registration? I heard that some people were being purged from the list even if they have recently voted, so I checked mine out. I was gone. I have only lived in this state for 9 years and at the same address. I have voted in every election ....state...local...federal. I even voted in the 2008 democratic primary and I had to re-register to vote a few weeks ago. EVERYONE...check your registration status online with your state or else you could show up on Nov 4th and not be allowed to vote!!

Leave it to the Born-Again,Bible Preaching, Evangelistic Republicans! Never mind living the "ten commandments". For your entire lifetime you have lead your neighbors, friends and others to believe that you practice the ten commandments everyday, and are peacemakers. When in reality, you will do and/or say ANYTHING TO GET YOUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE(S) ELECTED! Lie, Steal, Cheat, and lie some more!

Dirty tricks from the McCain-Palin campaign and the Republicans. Victory at all cost: lying and robbing voters of their rights.

Oh yeah – don't let them steal another election!! They can win it fair and square, but they don't know how to win without cheating....if they're looking to exclude foreclosed voters from the polls, I hope they get one hell of a fight from the judicial bench....totally and irrationally unfair....

The GOP is using voter caging all over the country. Since they obviously can't win on the issues and with real democracy, they have to win through smears (lies) and diabolical political warfare.

no body should be taking any chances with our democracy. Thank God for Obama, Lawyers are ready to go for any foul play the repuks throw at us.

Obama is no Algore. Don't mess with him.....

If true, it's sickening.

If false, it makes the Dems look bad.

I look forward to seeing which!

Republicans will win at any cost, even if it's illegal. Republican should be ashamed of themselves but I have a strong feeling they are not even though most of them claim to be Christians. What would Jesus think of these very people who are will to lie and cheat to get what they want? I don't think it would be very good.

It is a little ironic of Obama to cry foul about someone trying to block votes, but if GOP are seriously getting lists of people'sr who's homes are in forclosure to stop them from voting then they need to be exposed.

Here we go again – 2000 it was Florida, 2004 it was Ohio and now 2008 it's Michigan. Will we let the Republicans lie and cheat their way to the top again?

Voter Frauds just like in the 3 rd world.....

McCain has sunk to the typical republican lie and cheating machine. What happened to the "maverick"? He has lost any shred of integrity and decency! We have now found how low he can go.

He and Palin can continue to lie and repeat the same lies even after being corrected by many unbiased reliable sources. They obviously have Karl Rove working for them. Karl Rove, the person that gave the finger to the judicial system when suppeonaed to testify against the lies of the Bush Administration.

HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE? HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE PRESIDENTIAL
MATERIAL?

PLEASE…………THINK ABOUT IT!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

here the scum bags go again they have no morals and its time to stop them bunch of low lifes..,////

Notice to CHEATING LYING POS REPUBLICANS, you will lose anyway.

hmmmmmm are we headed back to only property owners can vote?

Now the DNC is concerned about the voters of MI-What a laugh!!!!

It's about time!! Suit pants of these hartless bastards!!

Wow, here we go again. The GOP are up to their dirty tricks AGAIN. They are already working on stealing Michigan as they did Florida in 2000.

I am now voting Democrat. With all the vile put out by the Republican party, I cannot vote for McCain/Palin.

The high turnout expected for this election spells certain doom for the Republicans. Their only hope is to cull the electorate.

Maybe the DNC can demand that ichigan voters cast only a half vote! Obama, Reid, Pelosi and Dean can stick it. This Life long democrat will be voting for the McCain/Palin ticket. Democrats need to clean up there own house before making such wild accusations. I've had enough of the sleazy politics of the DNC.

Why is it that Americans have so much trouble running an election where all votes are counted?? Rigged lists, no paper trail, people left out, pnoney ballots mailed, machines that are easy to hijack....Wake up people...this is how Republicans win.

Ihave never heard of any western democracy that has these kinds of problems!!!

McCain and the Michigan GOP are trying to stop people who have lost thier homes from voting. They are apparently planning to do this in all close states.

More proof that the Republicans are not for the common man. They only want to use the common man to promote the wealthy.

Is this what you're voting to support republican base? Denying your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and nieghbors who have lost thier homes from voting? Don't you see the type of people you are supporting? How could you live with this?

once again the Republicans are cheating. If you love your country you better go out and vote for Obama!!!!!!!!!!! My God, he has to win by a big margin so that the republicans can' t cheat this time!!

That is scary. Republicans are low down dirty scoundrals. I cant wait for this General Election to be over and Obama rolling up his sleeves and getting to work. The poeple's champ.

Pathetic! This is the only way Republicans know how to win by cheating! I believe in my heart that Kerry won Ohio in 2004 because there was voting fraud there as well. I was upset that he didn't protest it.

...a tiny bit of research, from the Michigan Messenger:

[Obama's attorney Bob Bauer] said that the complaint includes quotes from Republican operatives in Ohio and other states saying much the same thing Carabelli said and defending the legitimacy of using foreclosure lists and voter caging techniques.

Bauer also said that they expect that the lawsuit will allow them to subpoena emails and memos from the state and local GOP officials that will prove that they had obtained foreclosure lists and were planning to use them for this purpose.

You're welcome CNN. I didn't think the Obama camp was so careless as to file a complaint with no supporting facts – not his style.

repugs, continue to sink to a new low. Where is the moral values they continue to preach.

Interesting that people would complain about such tactics when Obama started his political career using similar tactics in Illinois to disenfranchise voters who printed their names on the voter petition instead of using cursive to sign their same. In that case voted of legitimate voters were not counted due to the technicality. What is that old saying: what goes around comes around?

I emailed them about this a few days ago... guess others did as well. I'm so unbelievably glad they're going after the anti-democratic country-hating jerks responsible for this cynical crap...

OBAMAS TEAM IS GRASPING AT STRAWS AGAIN. THIS GUY WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET INTO OFFICE. HE REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER PERSON FROM THE SAME PARTY.

ONE QUESTION?

HOW CAN SOMEONE RAISE 66 MILLION DOLLARS IN ONE MONTH WHEN THE ARE LIMITS TO HOW MUCH PEOPLE CAN GIVE

SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE IS STRETCHING THE TRUTH HERE ALITTLE BIT. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE "ELITE" POLITICAL ANALYISTS ARE NOT DOING ANY INVESTIGATING ON THIS SUBJECT.

Please keep a eye in Florida. The cubans populations will fabricated death people voter register. please please please please have the obama lawyers keep a close eyes there a lot of deception.

The RICH folks are really afraid of Obama– He will raise their taxes.

Here, we see the poor fighting to keep the Rich in power (to get richer) by voting for McCain and Bush!!! How great it is to be educated, as well as have "common sense."

To be a Republican, you only need to be Dumb!!

What's wrong for trying to vote twice ??everybody LOVES Chicago don't they ??

I wouldn't put it past some of the GOP if this was true... the ends justifies the means. I'm sure if someone didn't bring this up, they might be trying it.

Keep in mind: This is the same republican MI legislature that scheduled the Democratic primaries when they weren't supposed to be scheduled.

Here's how it works:

1. Register to vote.

2. Suffer foreclosure.

3. Fail to update your voter registration so it still lists the foreclosed address.

4. Go to the booth.

5. Get told you can't vote because they claim you are faking it and nobody canlive at a foreclosed address, so your residency is questionable.

ORGANIZE THE COMMUNITY OBAMA. GET THEM OUT AND GET THEM UPDATING THEIR REGISTRATIONS. BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME WHILE FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT IN THE COURTS.

The DNC needs to file a lawsuit in Ohio also. Do anything just to win, the heck with anyone who stands in our way...The Republican Creed!!!! CNN, why is this not being talked about on your show???

What won't the GOP do to steal this election again.
McCain is supposed to be truthful. He has sold his heart to the devil!!

It is probably a nation wide GOP effort. Here in Wisconsin, our Republican state attorney general is suing the elections board to make sure that anyone that votes in this state has a photo ID.

How typical of Republicans to disenfranchise Americans yet again.

Another Republican ploy that they are calling a stop to because they got caught before they could go forward. Disgusting. Let's hit the little guy when they are down and out and take away their right to vote! That's how confident they are in their candidate!!!!!

No Way, No How, McCain and Palin the Puppet!

If it isn't true, then you have nothing to worry about, Mr Carabelli. Justice will prevail, and all voters will be counted.

Good to see the Obama people still have a pulse and are proactively fighting.

that's right cut the head off of the corrupt GOP snake...we are Americans... every vote counts....SHAME ON GOP

sounds like the mccain fliers in wisconsin that have return envelopes with incorrect clerk addresses, thus nullifying the vote. obviously the repubs know the lies cant last and are trying everything to have another 2000.

Thanks, but no thanks to the McCain/Palin TICKET TO NOWHERE

Here we go again – if you can't appeal to the voters, lie, cheat and pay for media coverage to cover it up!

Is there anyway to make this party go away and take it's nutty base with it. These people are holding the intelligent part of the country hostage. And I also understand that the veneable Ms. Palin used to belong to a church that spoke in tongues. Any care to discuss this?

Oh my God! Its "chads" all over again. Obviously this is the way Republicans win campaigns. Deja Vu Bush election based on Florida results.

Secondly, Trish is right. Once the people are put on a Notice of Default list, it could take 6 plus months for the foreclosure or auction to actually happen, at least in our part of the country. How do I know this. I'm a realtor who has lots of houses that are in default listed and the foreclosure dates are months out.

I hope this exposes all of them!! We connaot alow another 2000 and 2004

THE REPUBILCAN PARTY WILL LIE IN TRY TO CHEAT THIER WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

Trysh, Los Angeles: You make a valid point and I am betting the Republicans are thinking the same thing. Since they can't win on the issues, they are going to try every other trick in the book. I'm sure the Surpeme court is ready to give it to them like they did W.

Just to be safe and make sure my vote counted...I would vote early at the Main Election Board. This is low and dirty of the Republicans...the do ANYTHING to get elected crew.

Disgusting. Family values at it's best, stinking GOP, liars, and bigots.

GOP gutter tactics will not work this election. Last time I remeber it was voting machine tweaking and now they want to cage voters...

Try something better fools. we are all paying close attention to this election, you just wont get away with it like that.

The same dirty politics from Rove and Bush into McCain/Palin?

Hmmmm.......
We should go ask Florida.

what a new blow. silence the people most affected by the GOP policies. THIS IS UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Oama you are a jerk. ; You are the one who blocked the voters in Michigan from voting in the primary.

You are a jerk. And a wind bag. I can't believe this article. You also blocked the good people in Florida from voting in the primary.

You are risky Mr. Obama and it would be a roll of the dice to select you for anything.

OMG, do the Republicans not realize that the whole country is watching them? Do they think that this stunt will endear them to the undecided voters.? Do these idiots not realize that the Republican party does not have an absolute right to the White House. CNN, why don't you ever post me. I don't even use foul language like I see here sometimes. Please post. Thank you.

Desperation by the Republicans. I'm glad the Dems jumped on this immediately.we can't afford to have another election stolen

Apparently, Obama doesn't like anyone taking any moves from his playbook of challenging voters like he did to win his first election!

It is simple. If you show up at a polling location and your name is on the list for which you are REGISTERED to vote, then you will be allowed to vote. If your name is not on that list, good luck!

This is why McCain will dominate this election. A lot of people who support Obama don't even know how to begin the registration process.

Do you honestly believe that ALL of the people at the Denver convention were registered voters? What about Germany? Probably <1% of the audience were Americans registered to vote abroad.

Good luck to both candidates, but my man John McCain is going to crush November 4th!

Democrats will flounder once again and their party will get deeply split over the Clinton debacle.

First of all, even being on the foreclosure list doesn't mean you no longer live there. And with the election so close, some people will not change their voter registration information for fear of being lost in the shuffle and missing out on voting.

Hmmm, who do we believe? The Republicans stole 2004 from Kerry with voting improprieties in Ohio. I'm so pleased that the Democrats will not allow it to happen this year. This sort of behavior is reprehensible. I guess the Republicans feel if they can't win on their own merits, they're entitled to win by whatever means necessary, including kicking people who are already suffering.

Leave it to Slick Barry the lawyer to file suit – he will continue to corrupt the election process with the DNC's blessing and it would be a frightening thought if America actually chose that slick and flashy lawyer to represent our Country. McCain/Palin 08 – the Maverick Change America Needs!

Wak up people!!!! Rep want to do it again!!!!! THEY CAN WIN WITHOUT STILLING!!!!!

This needs to be big-time exposed!

The republicans have no right to do this practice. After all, this is
not Nazi Germany is it?

Dems 08.

One of my friends sent me a link to this blog the other day.

Regardless of whether or not the GOP plans on alienating a citizen's constitutional right to vote or not, they can't be all too suprised with the shenanegans that their party played in the two most recent Presidential contests.

And don't think for a second there aren't equally underhanded tactics at play here in every corner of this American country. One and all, do not let the politics of sleaze deny you the voice you're entitled too!

What, Obama crying foul over voter list! That's ironic. Didn't he win an election by making sure others couldn't run, and by checking voters out too. If anyone is playing dirty, it's Obama. He received a promise of convention delegates in a state where his name was not even on the ballot! Now, that is a foul. I will vote Republican this year!
