Thirdeye... Felons hardly vote Republican... (especially in Texas... :0) And Democrats in this administration have been responsible for expediting the citizenship process, WHILE WAIVERING the mandatory criminal background checks. In 1996 some 60,000 felons were granted citizenship because their criminal background checks were not performed. They were not performed because Gore was pressuring the INS director to expedite their citizenship applications in order to make 1 million people eligible to vote in the 1996 election. This Democratic administration passed the "motor voter" law allowing all people who obtain a driver's license to be automatically registered to vote, regardless of whether they are citizens or not. Now people being on the wrong as the result of a clerical error is one thing. But deliberately placing obstacles in the path of the system's ability to prevent non-eligible people from corrupting the voting system is quite another. And I would rail against Republican shenanigans at expediting suffrage without the proper procedures being followed. But from the liberals... well, it's all in a day's work, isn't it?
