OHIO ELECTION UPDATE: Court casts doubt on Ohio voter rolls. “Late in the day – in a victory for Republicans – the full Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a decision made last week by three of its members. The result: Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner must create computer programs to cross check all new voter registrations so that county boards of elections can doublecheck new registrants. The Secretary of State will now have to verify new registrations by comparing information on them with data from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration.” Plus, lots more ACORN news.
That we’re seeing this kind of thing is evidence that the voting system lacks a basic level of trustworthiness. As I’ve said before, this is a dangerous flaw that must be fixed.
