Disenfranchised In Nevada

An anonymous reader writes "If you are a Democrat and you decided to register to vote in Nevada through non-official channels, you may have gotten disenfranchised by a private voter registration company. In this news article, it appears that employees of 'Voters Outreach of America' have been busy tearing up registration forms, specifically those from Democrats. The article indicates that hundreds to thousands of voter registrations may have been trashed. Unfortunately, the deadline to register to vote in Nevada has already passed."

    No, they are member groups. You would know this if you had read more than 50 words of their site.

    Maybe they're afraid of getting caught like the people in Illinois, New Mexico, Colorado and Iowa where massive registration fraud is being uncovered. And it ain't Republican registration fraud. You can tell because the party affiliation isn't being reported.

    -It's Texas Republicans who are Gerrymandering in their redistricting efforts...

    The Texas Democrats were also trying to Gerrymander, just as badly as the Republicans. They even resorted to tactics like leaving the state during sessions they were legally obligated to be at, to prevent a quorum from being present. This is hardly a case where one party wants to Gerrymander and the other doesn't, it's a case where the law says it is the Republicans turn to draw up the maps, and the Democrats threw a fit because they liked their Gerrymandering better than the Republicans'.

    -Sinclair wishes to put an obviously anti Kerry Docuganda on TV...

    And this is worse than anti-Bush / pro-Kerry documentaries being put on TV by PBS, CBS, Sundance, etc. how? And what is a Docuganda, a documentary produced in Uganda? When someone wants to bash Bush, the Democrats hail it as free speech, but when someone wants to bash Kerry, like this documentary or the swift boat book, they immediately call for censorship. The First Amendment is not just about the right to free speech as long as you have something liberal to say.
