AFL-CIO Mailing Warns Voters: Your Voting History is Public

I’m sure all the people crowing about “voter suppression” will be all over this one, in 3…2….1.

Democrats slow to remove non-citizens from voter rolls

Businessweek explores the issue of removal of non-citizens from the rolls.

Interesting points made in the article, including that Democrats were reluctant to recognize a problem with non-citizens illegally registered and slow to remove them from the voter rolls.  Of course, Republicans were too hasty in their efforts to remove potential illegal voters.  Of course, critics claim the proper action should have been to wait until after the election to remove the illegal voters. The article also points out that Democrats seemed reluctant to use federal databases with the most accurate citizenship data that would have helped prevent the wrongful identification of newly naturalized citizens as illegally registered voters.

Fifteen Indians from the remote Crow, Northern Cheyenne and Fort Belknap reservations argued in a lawsuit filed earlier this month that the long distances they must drive for early voting and late registration leaves them disadvantaged compared to white voters.”
