Where I live, we register in person once, and sign a permanent Card. That card goes to our voting District. We sign a card every election, and the signatures are compared. Obviously, we can't vote twice. Works for everybody. As for the Attorney General and the Department of Justice, I think they are part of the Executive Branch, are they not? Two quick observations.

Obviously this is discrimination. Those damn racist bastards at the DMV! Hmmm … why do we require blacks to have a photo license in order to drive a car? Obviously this is discrimination.

Apparently a campaign "directed by GOP party chiefs in October 2004" challenged tens of thousands of ballots cast by residents of Black majority precincts, and in particular, "One group of voters wrongly identified by the Republicans as registering to vote from false addresses: servicemen and women sent overseas. Here’s how the scheme worked: The RNC mailed these voters letters in envelopes marked, “Do not forward”, to be returned to the sender. These letters were mailed to servicemen and women, some stationed overseas, to their US home addresses. The letters then returned to the Bush-Cheney campaign as “undeliverable.” The lists of soldiers of “undeliverable” letters were transmitted from state headquarters, in this case Florida, to the RNC in Washington. The party could then challenge the voters’ registration and thereby prevent their absentee ballots being counted." The above should have blacks chomping at the bit to join up with the "party of Lincoln", huh? Why aren't we then? I just can't put my finger on it either. “This one is ugly, and shows the Republican Party will stop at nothing to screw blacks out of their vote.
