Odd. It was the democrats that announced they would be "monitoring" things. Odd still that Terry would not explainthe "harrasment". Were these people being asked for voter registration cards? The nerve. The tactics utilized are > reprehensible and an affront to our democracy.

If indeed this illegal, anarchic assault on fundemental American rights were so blatantly practiiced in broad daylight, one might give an example or two. > > "A clean and fair elections process is not a luxury, but a commitment to our > democracy.

So, I am really curious about the "security program" complaints. I mean, what do these people do, call in and say"I am a victim of ballot security programs!!" Perhaps, if these people are intimidated by such a neurotic, overblown and imagined attempt at anarchy, they are mentally ineligible to vote. You would think that a paragon of non partisan accuracy like Terry McCauliffe could cite *one instance* to back up his assertion. But, no, his blatherings are are rhetoric based on unsubstantiated assertions. This dishonors the legacy of all the courageous Americans who > fought and died for the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Where's the meat, Juan? Are you such a tool as to simply post this without acdtually reading it? It says *nothing*. > >
