GOP officials in Ohio, Florida and Indiana –- in addition to Michigan, where the Obama campaign sued -– have acknowledged plans to challenge voters on Election Day based on foreclosure lists.
According to local media in counties in each of these states — in Columbus, Ohio, Marion County, Ind., and Volusia County, Fla. — GOP operatives say they haven’t ruled out challenging people whose homes are being foreclosed on in the current financial crisis, claiming that they’re no longer residents of the district where they’re voting.
In fact, as members of ACORN explained on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, many homeowners going through foreclosure proceedings still live in their homes, while they try to negotiate an arrangement with the bank that holds their mortgage.
Though Republican officials in Michigan earlier this week signed an agreement with the Obama campaign saying they would not use foreclosure lists to challenge voters in that state, the National Republican Committee has not made the same promise regarding challenges in other states.

Flu shot Warning: it’s been noted it’s best not to take the influenza virus and/or Flu Mist (contains bird flu H 5N1and create the pandemic), especially children and elders. Begin now to take lots (3+ mg day) of Vitamin C.

And people are worried about ACCORN using fake names like mickey mouse, jive turkey, Alice in Wonderland, etc. I really doubt Jive Turkey will show up to vote and the people at Accorn basically got scrwed because of their quota issues and paid for junk registrations. While this is not good this is NOT voter fraud nor this was not a serious attempt at voter fraud. On the flip side here you have tens of thousands of people not potentially voting because of forclosure . Is this the republican strategy of not counding thousands of votes. When Obama wins let us hope all these voting laws will be changed. Maybe just maybe a few hundered votes nationwide were illegal but that is nothing compared to what 250K to the 500K votes not being counted.
