Well, on the issues, McCain sucks. So what is the next step to trying to win the election? The same as they were in 2000 and as they were in the well documented year of 2004 of course. Stealing the Election.
How is this being done. Well first, I don't have to point out all the othe negative campaigning. But what is the purpose of negative campaigning? It's not to get you to vote for the "other guy". It is to diminish the overall voter turnout. And it is a well documented fact that the largest growth in registered voters this year has been on the side of the Democrats.
With that in mind, let me direct you to this from Today's New York Times....
Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have
been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in
ways that appear to violate federal law, according to a review of state
records and Social Security data by The New York Times.
The actions do not seem to be coordinated by one party or the other,
nor do they appear to be the result of election officials intentionally
breaking rules, but are apparently the result of mistakes in the
handling of the registrations and voter files as the states tried to
comply with a 2002 federal law, intended to overhaul the way elections
are run.
Still, because Democrats have been more aggressive at
registering new voters this year, according to state election
officials, any heightened screening of new applications may affect
their party’s supporters disproportionately. The screening or trimming
of voter registration lists in the six states — Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina — could also result in problems at the polls on Election Day: people
who have been removed from the rolls are likely to show up only to be
challenged by political party officials or election workers, resulting
in confusion, long lines and heated tempers.
Some states allow
such voters to cast provisional ballots. But they are often not counted
because they require added verification.
States have been trying to follow the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and remove the names of voters who should no longer be listed; but for
every voter added to the rolls in the past two months in some states,
election officials have removed two, a review of the records shows.
The
six swing states seem to be in violation of federal law in two ways.
Michigan and Colorado are removing voters from the rolls within 90 days
of a federal election, which is not allowed except when voters die,
notify the authorities that they have moved out of state, or have been
declared unfit to vote.
Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina and
Ohio seem to be improperly using Social Security data to verify
registration applications for new voters.
In addition to the six swing states, three more states appear to be violating federal law. Alabama and Georgia seem to be improperly using Social Security information to screen registration applications from new voters. And Louisiana appears to have removed thousands of voters after the federal deadline for taking such action.....
