Hey all! I have been having difficulty signing into to my blogger account. I have finally signed in! This is the first post since December 8, 2006. What a long time it has been.

The media has sure been picking up the the ACORN story but why hasn't it picked up the Young Political Majors story? I found 17 million results for ACORN but 1.9 million for Young Political Majors story in a simple search on google. why is this story so under-reported? Is it because republicans have been crying voter fraud for at least the 8 years and now they finally have a story so they can disenfranchise even more voters? Voters were being struck from the polls (not being allowed to vote or having their vote cast out) in the hundreds of thousands in the swing states of Ohio and Florida in the past eight years. (and many years before that too). This is a key republican strategy which is the reason the GOP was actually able to win elections, and win handily, when more voters are registered democratic than republican. VOTER SUPPRESSION is one main key tactic of the republican party and their are quite skilled at it through many differant methods.
One Method that was used in Ohio in 2004 and in other elections is phone banking voters and giving intentionally wrong voting information. Info such as giving the wrong polling place, falsely stating that they need certain identification, giving wrong dates, etc. These tactics are targeted toward groups and individuals who are IDed to heavily favor their opponent. There is ample evidence of this and if I have more time later, I will post links here.
Other methods...... Striking from the rolls, ohio blackwell, florida voters misidentified as felons- purged from rolls (reg/eligible database) etc
