On the stump in Michigan yesterday, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden decried the report, revealed last week by Eartha Jane Melzer, reporter for our sister site, Michigan Messenger, that local GOP officials planned to use foreclosure listings to challenge voters at the polls.
Biden said:
I heard that a Republican County Chairman right here in Michigan said that they’re keeping a list of foreclosed homes, suggesting that if you’ve lost your home, you should also lose your vote. I have a different idea. I think that if you’re worried about losing your home, you should vote for the guys who are going to help you keep it!
