“My name is Mickey Mouse and I’m here to vote.”

Oct 15th, 2008 | By Ara Rubyan | Category: Corruption

Ohio’s Secretary of State has been ordered to verify 100% of all new registrations that have been harvested this year.

And/But Republicans rejoice because they cannot do the math: they are convinced that they are down in the polls by 8-14% because 3% of all new registrations are fraudulent. Makes no sense of course — pollsters aren’t calling Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse on the phone and asking them who they’re voting for.

Nor is any rational person worrying that Tinker Bell will actually, you know, show up to vote on November 4. That said, Republicans are willing (no — driven) to supress the votes of the poor, the old and the non-white population by generating fear, uncertainty and doubt on election day.

    Chris Redfern, Ohio Democratic Chairman:

    “The United States Supreme Court has wisely sided with Secretary Brunner in protecting hundreds of thousands of Ohio voters from being disenfranchised by the desperate tactics of the Ohio Republican Party.  This unanimous ruling by the United States Supreme Court allows Ohio to move about the business of ensuring a free, fair, open and honest election without the threat of widespread voter suppression by the GOP.”

    That should make life less of a living hell for our local Board of Election staffs.

    Great news! And, ironically, it’ll help the Wurzelbacher/Worzelbachers of Ohio — because most of the “bogus” registrations were probably simple spelling errors, etc.
