possible Republican shenanigans here in GA

Appears Republican Secretary of State Karen Handel here in GA pulled some shenanigans this week in the state wide Public Service Commission Democratic primary.  Executive Director of State Party contacted me today to follow up with the Henry County Board of elections (I'm chairman of county party here in Henry--a suburb of Atlanta) which I just did an hour ago...
 
posted more on this issue here: http://politicalautomaton.blogspot.com/2008/07/election-day-blogging.html 
 
I will post a follow up after the smoke clears so that Republicans in GA are exposed to national press/voters.  I still don't know whats really going on--as I was not contacted by the board of elections here in Henry in regards to this issue (one would think that would be protocol?)

And sorry for the duplicate post.

- And now, on topic?

What did she do?  I expect more from a "top of the blog post" than "something happened, read elsewhere for details".

For a bit on the last thread, we actually had a conversation and opinions going.

That's all from me.

- Every Democratic Party volunteer should expect "Republican shenanigans"

It is standard operating procedure for them. Please find out the names of those voters whom your election official purged, and re-register them to vote. Track them down if they moved, find out if they changed their name with a marriage, and while you are at it make sure those new High School graduates are all registered as well. and this is true in every jurisdiction in America.

Here in Iowa Democratic legislators passed an election same day voter registration law with the catch that you have to verify it at the county courthouse within two days so one important GOTV is going to be providing transportation for the next two days after the election.

Obama won't get every registered Democrat's vote but it sure would be worth the effort to think he would and get them all to the polls. But the way to change politics for decades is to register hundreds of thousands of new voters.

By Phil Specht on Jul 15, 2008 4:35 PM EDT

Has Conyers perp walked Rove yet for contempt?

I want to see Rove be shackled on "Cops"

"Get down on the ground"

"Hands behind your back."
