Voter suppression is the only hope of the GOP. As I have noted several times, these Republican governors and their lackey state legislatures are passing laws making it so hard to register to vote that votes are clearly suppressed. But what I had not tuned into was the at least in Florida they have gone a step further and passed laws that hamper or forbid third party entities from conducting registration drives and the like. I heard on Thom Hartman’s show this morning that the League of Women Voters has ceased all their registration efforts in Florida out of fear of being prosecuted for breaking the new laws! Here is a good article discussing the problem.
I am thinking seriously about drafting a letter to the U.S. Attorney General urging him and his office to determine that this law is not in compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

To a liberal, preventing the dead and non citizens from voting is over the top. Bring it on! We will defeat you, because the vast majority of Americans have common sense.
By the way, don't know if you saw it Tom, but it turns out that out of over three million votes cast in the last election there were only 24 cases of "fraud" and they were all felons who already had I.D. but shouldn't have been allowed to vote according to a law that should be repealed anyway.
But the instances of people who didn't get to vote because of Republican dirty tricks is a lot more.
