And another thing…

timrobbins 1 410 And another thing...

Liberals, including myself, are waiting for the final word on voting screw-ups. How many people were not allowed to vote? Actor, human rights and voters’ advocate Tim Robbins was turned away from the polls. He went to the City Board of Elections and got proof that he was registered. Now that’s crazy!!!

    I'm waiting for someone to round up all of the voting stuff and present it in thoughtful way. Wyoming. What the hell is that? No one is sick. Everyone votes and few folks vote twice.

    That's nuts.

    Look for Obama to pick and choose what he goes after. He will not go after the all out blitz that many progressives would like to see.

    My 2 cents.

    Thanks for your comments.

    I hope the Obama administration will allow honest career lawyers in the Justice Dept. to go after the massive GOP election fraud in this and previous elections.

    How did they not know who he was? Or is that why he was turned away?

    Maybe it's my own hangup, but I can't help thinking the Republicans are always trying to steal something. Re voting oddities, here's something about Wyoming's 2008 voter turnout. One day we should get serious about preventing all these irregularities that have accompanied computerized voting. This comment's a bit long, and I apologize for that....

    On Oct 1, 2008, there were 233,141 registered voters in Wyoming. By Nov 4, 2008, that number had swelled to 244,818, an increase of 11,677.

    On Nov 4, 257,331 ballots were cast in Wyoming. 246,329 people voted for President.

    Now, on average, 66% of registered voters voted in 49 states. However, Wyoming voters were so motivated that 105% voted!

    Even more interesting (to me) is that of that 105% of registered voters, 11,002 didn't vote for President (4% of total votes).

    Now, for a thought experiment. If Wyoming were actually in line with the rest of the country, the 246,329 ballots cast for President would be 66% of registrations. That gives a total registered roll of 373,225.

    Now, assuming Wyoming is just like the rest of the country and Wyoming allows same-day registrations, 128,407 people would have had to show up at the polls yesterday, register to vote, and not vote.

    Are you really still voting?

    UPDATE:
    Holy smokes. Wyoming has had over a 100% turnout three times in the last ten years. The difference is, this time the total votes cast is comparable to the total population of voting age registered as voters in previous years.

    CLASSIC! In my opinion, this is proof that they tried yet another time to steal the election, but, with so many of the "masterminds" in hiding, they didn't have the wherewithal to get it done. I would classify this as the obvious exception meant to prove a false rule.
