Whew. The goofiest ruling in this election season was in the swing state of Ohio. Ohio is shaping up to be the 2004 version of Florida – whoever wins Ohio next week is likely to be President.
U.S. District Judge James Carr issued a ruling a couple of weeks back: if you show up at the wrong precint and you’re not registered to vote, you get to vote anyway. I was envisioning buses of people going from precinct to precinct voting as many times as they could before the polls closed. Guarranteed lawsuit would follow as winner versus loser sued over whether to count those votes.
Fortunately today, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that ruling. If you’re not registered to vote, at least you have to show up at the right precinct.
Democrats were the ones that got the goofy “Vote Anywhere” rule put in, but they decided not to sue. Their contention was that the rules were too hard for minorities to follow. Pfft. I’ve shown up at the wrong polling station a couple of times. If you can show up at one polling place, you can certainly figure out how to get to the right one.
Chasing the Wind 
Now Michael, you know that it is a settled fact the Democrats believe that their constituants lack the mental faculties to survive by themselves, much less find a voting booth, or successfully handle a vote by themselves. It is only with the compassionate assistance of well meaning liberals that they survive at all. In return for liberal assistance, they have to vote the liberals into office, of course. Otherwise the whole plantation system would collapse, and evil scum sucking republicans would stick it to the unfortunates once again. Halliburton, Halliburton…..

I heard a woman on a talk show who became a political activist this year. Before this, she never cared. Her reason for getting active? “The Democrats think I’m stupid. I have a high school education.”
