idiotic post. try harder.

If you look at who posts on RCP you can see that it is the furthest from an unbiased site.

Idiotic response, but thanks for playing. They get their numbers from many different sources. Where are your numbers to back up your claim by chance?

The article above recounts some of what the FL voting population looked like in 2000

Of nearly 48,000 Florida residents on the felon list, only 61 are Hispanic. By contrast, more than 22,000 are African-American.

About 8 percent of Florida voters describe themselves as Hispanic, and about 11 percent as black.

In a presidential-election battleground state that decided the 2000 race by giving George W. Bush a margin of only 537 votes, the effect could be significant: black voters are overwhelmingly Democratic, while Hispanics in Florida tend to vote Republican.

The method uses race as one of several factors in determining whether a felon has registered to vote. If a voter's first name, last name and date of birth are the same as those of a convicted felon but the race is different, the name is not put on the list for potential purging.

But the database of felons has only five variables for race: white, black, Asian, Indian and unknown. And a voter registered as Hispanic whose name and birth date matched a felon's would be left off the purge list unless his race was listed as unknown.


long story short republicans have done this before.

Only now the focus is a little different. This time on illegals and dead people... only some of them are alive to ask questions.




Why would they do it if they can win in an election where shenanigans don't happen.

Nice try at deflection though.

A Federal Judge just ruled the feds have no ability to stop Florida:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A federal judge has refused to stop Florida from removing potentially non-U.S. citizens from its rolls.
The U.S. Department of Justice sued the state to halt the purge, arguing it was going on too close to a federal election.
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle said Wednesday that there was nothing in federal voting laws that prevent the state from identifying non-U.S. citizens even if it comes less than 90 days before the Aug. 14 election.
Hinkle ruled that federal laws are designed to block states from removing eligible voters close to an election. He said they are not designed to stop states from blocking voters who should have never been allowed to cast ballots in the first place.
Gov. Rick Scott praised Hinkle's decision, saying "irreparable harm will result if non-citizens are allowed to vote."

The title strikes me as stupid.

How many illegal aliens are minorities? Ummm, pretty much all.

How many illegal aliens are poor? Ummm, here again, pretty much all. If you're rich you don't need to immigrate illegally.

Actually I thought the biggest problem is that Democrats were too stupid to vote properly.

If I was them I would stop reminding people of that.

Wasn't there a study that showed the ONLY WAY to get a dimple and a hanging chad was to stack up a pile of ballots and punch a large number of them all at the same time - the top ones getting hanging chads, the bottom ones getting dimples?

I seem to remember this, and if true...who was doing the voter fraud?
