I don't think it should be "illegal" but I do question the timing. The County Clerk's office and the Secretary of State's office have their hands more than full before and just after an election. The voter rolls should be examined and purged sin months to a year prior to an election, and done at least once in a four year election cycle. And yes, I also think we need to keep voter ID laws on the books whereever they now exist, and I think States without them should strongly consider requiring some sort of photo ID and proof of registration.

If it is done, the results should be announced publicly. Names need not be named, but I really would like to know how many names were wiped from the lists & how the fraudulent voters got on the lists in the first place.

As far as I can tell the repugs made this "crisis" up. Frankly, I don't see why illegal immigrants would want to draw this kind of attention to themselves. Wouldn't they rather prefer to keep undercover if they entered the country illegally?

I agree, Ohio doesn't have a record of voter problems we have a problem of election laws and methods that are fraudulent.

The only voter fraud that exists, is the Republican voter fraud. It has been shown nationally, there is not actual voter fraud. 1/10 of 1% fraud, in which most have been charged, is not even an issue with voter fraud. The republicans created this issue, and as always, another republican, out in out lie and fraud.

I liked that reminder of the French Revolution. Off with their heads! (Those of the corporate masters, that is).

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
