However, I'm curious--are those fake registrations showing up at the polls? No, at least not that I'm aware of. Are people having *real* voting problems? Yes. So which is worse, Dan? A fake registration that doesn't show up at the polls (when Mickey Mouse shows up at the polls and casts a vote, let me know) or a real voter, showing up to a real poll, not being able to cast their vote or having their vote changed by a malfunctioning machine? Cheers Dan:

So, to the next Republican who brushes away reports of voting problems with a wave of the hand; what, exactly, is it to be an American? To me, a core part is a commitment to the idea of free, fair, participatory democracy. I wouldn't care if it were MY party (Dem) that were to benefit from voting shenanigans, it isn't part of what our country should be about. If you don't get that, then you are a nationalist but you are not a patriot. Cheers A Here's what I find ironic.

In four years voting there on Glebe Rd., never once before saw a black person. This morning, I saw about 25% black people (I am white). The line moved, the people were excited. GOBAMA!
