These people are incredible crooks. Shameless crooked assholes.

BREAKING: Three Bush-Appointed Judges Give Thumbs Up To Voter Disenfranchisement In Ohio | Late last week, a federal district court ordered Ohio to stop disenfranchising voters who are directed to vote at the wrong polling place due to poll worker error. Earlier today, a severely conservative panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit stayed this order, ruling that Ohio may disenfranchise these voters — even when their error is due to false instructions from a poll worker — because they believed allowing these votes to be counted would “ absolve[] voters of all responsibility for voting in the correct precinct.” The panel included Judges Julia Smith Gibbons and Deborah Cook, both George W. Bush appointees, and Judge Lee Rosenthal, a George H.W. Bush appointee.

And the US (Bush and gang) is out there spreading democracy in other nations?

These same folks are concerned about voter and hence are pushing for voters to show IDs. But wait a minute Mr/Mrs Secretaries of States. HOw about having tamper proof voting machines first before asking voters for IDs?
