Say, did you know this last election was most pathetic gain in the number of seats in the 6th year of a 2 term President for the opposing party in US history?



That's one serious gloat you've got there! :D

Edit: So, uh, how did the Republicans do in the '98 elections (6th year of Clinton's presidency)? ;)

I gotta admit you are right. However 1998 was the first time in 64 years that the Presidents party gained seats. Largely due to fatigue over Impeachment by the voters. Still it doesn't change the facts that by historical comparisons, the Dem gains were pathetic.

If you look at the actual candidates who won in this election, most were conservative Democrats, which is good. It shows that once again the voters have rejected extremism in both parties.

Pelosi cautioned that the number of Democratic House victories could be higher or lower and said her greatest concern is over the integrity of the count -- from the reliability of electronic voting machines to her worries that Republicans will try to manipulate the outcome.

"That is the only variable in this," Pelosi said. "Will we have an honest count?''

More bogus election forms found
By Jo Mannies
POST-DISPATCH POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
10/25/2006

Hundreds of bogus address changes have surfaced at the St. Louis County Election Board, which is warning voters to make sure they get a polling-place notification card in the mail next week.

If the card doesn't show up, a voter's address may have been fraudulently changed without their knowledge, said Joseph Goeke, the county's Republican elections director.

Voters who don't get a card can call the election board or bring valid identification and proof of residence to the polls on Nov. 7, Goeke said.

"If you're at the correct polling place for your (correct) address, then you can vote," Goeke said.


Board employees don't know exactly how many fraudulent address changes were submitted but estimate the number in the hundreds. And they fear they may not have caught all of them.

The address changes, with a voter's bogus signature, are among questionable or fraudulent voter registration cards turned in within the past couple of months.

The bogus registrations included at least one dead person and dozens of duplicates with false signatures and bogus or missing personal information, Goeke said.

County officials say most of the suspicious registrations and address changes were submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has mobilized huge voter registration drives across the nation and hired workers at $8 an hour to register new voters in Missouri.

ACORN already is under scrutiny for thousands of suspicious voter registrations submitted in the cities of St. Louis and Kansas City. It has been accused of turning in bogus registrations in other states.

The group's leaders don't set quotas for the workers, but some may have turned in made-up registrations or random address changes to make it appear they were working, said ACORN's national spokesman, Kevin Whelan.

New registrations and address changes are recorded and turned in on the same cards.

"Any workers who turned in fraudulent cards should be prosecuted," Whelan said.

In the city of St. Louis, the U.S. attorney's office has subpoenaed thousands of questionable voter registration cards, said city Republican elections director Scott Leiendecker.

At last count, the city Election Board has compiled 4,000 questionable voter registration cards — including three from dead people and one from a 16-year-old — that it is blaming on ACORN workers.

Whelan said his group is cooperating with investigators and election officials. But he added that ACORN is worried some of the "questionable registrations" flagged by election officials may actually be legitimate.

Statewide, ACORN submitted 90,000 new voter registrations in recent weeks, Whelan said.

The group's registration drive is tied to its support for Proposition B, a ballot proposal to increase Missouri's minimum wage to $6.50 an hour, from $5.15 an hour. Earlier this year, ACORN helped collect signatures to get Proposition B and Amendment 3, the proposal to increase Missouri's tobacco taxes, on the November ballot.

In St. Louis County, the board has hired eight temporary workers to handle routine duties. That way, the staff can tackle the hundreds of voter-registration applications that remain to be processed and send out polling-place notification cards by Tuesday.

St. Louis County has more than 650,000 registered voters, making it the state's largest voting entity. Goeke stressed that he didn't want to alarm voters.

"The board doesn't want 650,000 phone calls," he said.

He added that election workers on Nov. 7 should be able to handle, at polling places, any address-change or voter-registration snafus connected to the bogus cards.

ACORN Workers Indicted For Alleged Voter Fraud

POSTED: 5:02 pm CST November 1, 2006

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday.

Investigators said questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities.

The four indicted -- Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner -- were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters. They were each charged with two counts.

Federal indictments allege the four turned in false voter registration applications. Prosecutors said the indictments are part of a national investigation.

ACORN and Project Vote recruit and assign workers to low-income and minority neighborhoods to register people to vote.

The Kansas City Election Board told KMBC they found suspicious forms, such as seven applications from one person and an application for a dead man.

"There is some motive behind it -- this is not accidental," said Ray James with the Kansas City Election Board.

Election officials said some of the application cards had false addresses, signatures and phone numbers.

ACORN officials in Kansas City said they turned in the four people who were indicted.

"We're very happy that they were indicted," said Claudie Harris with ACORN.

Harris said ACORN workers are paid by the hour and not by the number of voter registration cards they turn in.

"When you fraudulently defraud this, that gives us a bad name and what we're trying to do a bad name," Harris said.

ACORN officials said the four indicted have been fired.

Harris said ACORN workers check every voter registration card before sending it to the Election Board.

Last month, ACORN claimed to have processed more than 35,000 voter registration applications in Kansas City since the summer.

I'm gloating about the fact that I have a basement well-stocked with homebrewed beer.

What I have right now:

India Pale Ale
Dunkelweizen
California Steam Beer
Smoked Porter.

I've got two beers in the fermenters right now:

More California Steam Beer
A Christmas Ale (basically a spiced brown ale)

BTW, the Smoked Porter won FIRST PRIZE IN ITS CLASS at the Great Frederick County Fair.

Oh and if you do drive a GTO, fuck you and your goat ;)
