That's the plan that I'm going with.

Those two things don't actually need one another to function. Regardless you were sorely mistaken.

If you mean eliminate all the fraudulent registrations and delete the names of registered voters who have died, that should be the strategy of everybody who wants honest elections.

No, the USA is still seen by many as a place of opportunity. Otherwise, there would not be millions of people wanting to come here. It's a melting pot too, at least for the most part, if the newcomers want to assimilate.

Fox entertainment tv isn't the only pseudo news network out there.
Edit: I watch fox sometimes (with the mute button on)...the babes are nice, especially the blondes.

The problem being there has never been evidence of voting fraud happening in large enough numbers to care. This isn't about eliminating a problem that doesn't exist, it's about stacking the deck.
LOL. We were never really a melting pot, that's some bumper sticker bullshit. As for opportunity and people wanting to come here. . .I guess you almost have a point.

The GOP in my state called off early voting on Sundays right before the 2012 election for the singular purpose of making it impossible that already scheduled African-American after-church voting events would take place.
Do you think that's racial voter suppression? Federal court did and blocked the state's move. This happened in at least two states, Ohio and Florida and both moves were declared illegal and unconstitutional.
Don't ever doubt that the Republican Party regularly engages in voter suppression.

That, friend, is a perfect summation.

What does this have to do with eliminating fraudulent registrations or not keeping people on the voter roles after they have died?
But, to answer your question: First, how does the GOP unilaterally determine when polling places are to be open? Second, it would not have been racial voter suppression, because the same limits would have applied to everybody. I don't know what churches you have been to, but the ones I have gone to since I was a child have all been racially diverse. Did the SCOTUS overrule the law on the basis of race or some other issue.
Third, politicians of ALL parties will try to suppress the voters who are believed to be likely to vote for the opposition. That's why Black Panthers intimidate white voters, and are allowed to get away with it.

The GOP in Ohio has a congressional super-majority, GOP Governor, GOP attorney general, and a GOP Secretary of State who directly controls the board of elections.
Second, it was voter suppression and a court said as much. I don't care about your church one bit, Secretary Husted's move was intended to break up post-church early voting Sunday in our state. It was declared unconstitutional by a Federal court so Husted appealed to the SCOTUS who refused to even hear his case. Then when he didn't like the ruling against him he STILL didn't change it back and got his ass summoned to federal court again to explain his delay.
Oh and get this. Husted had shut down Sunday voting but then still kept it open for service members. Anything to help Romney win! Luckily we have courts to stamp out such transparent corruption.
Third, The Black Panthers (oooh! scary!) aren't a political party so you're not making any sense.

Exactly. Longer hours in white precincts, shorter hours in colored precincts.
Data showed African Americans disproportionately voted on Sunday, so ban Sunday voting.
And isn't it amazing how two black guys put on berets and call themselves "Black Panthers"...and conservative Republicans reflexively crap their collective pants.

It used to be a melting pot where we all assimilated into one. Now because of the efforts of Democrats and liberals we have "diversity," "multilingualism," and "muti-culturalism" where our government encourages not one but many cultures, forget assimilation, and divisiveness among the races, cultures, religions, and classes, for the political benefit of the ever expanding Leviathan envisioned by the Democrat left.
Where in the Constitution does it say the role of government it to endorse a single culture?

Doubtful. Obamacare is extending the lives of useless white trash such as yourself, allowing you to futilely extend the illusion of white privilege a few years longer.

When was this melting pot thing true? Was it when blacks were slaves or when Jim Crow was the law of the land? Was it when Indians were systematically exterminated or when they were forced on preserves like an endangered species of shrew? Was it when women were chattel or when they got equal pay for equal work? Was it when Muslims feared being lynched in the streets or when they were blocked from building a Mosque where of all things a Mosque was?! Please tell me. While we're at it I want someone to explain to me why Saint Patrick's day is perfectly execptable but Cinco De Mayo is somehow destroying America.
I think the only part of what Vette said that's accurate is that if you take his entire comment as a joke it makes a lot more sense.

This is just an excuse for racist behavior. You'll notice that Florida once tried this bullshit and was found to be involation of Section 2 of the VRA.
The Commission found that the problems Florida had during the 2000 presidential election were serious and not isolated. In many cases, they were foreseeable and should have been prevented. The failure to do so resulted in an extraordinarily high and inexcusable level of disenfranchisement, with a significantly disproportionate impact on African American voters. The causes include the following: (1) a general failure of leadership from those with responsibility for ensuring elections are properly planned and executed; (2) inadequate resources for voter education, training of poll workers, and for Election Day trouble-shooting and problem solving; (3) inferior voting equipment and/or ballot design; (4) failure to anticipate and account for the expected high volumes of voters, including inexperienced voters; (5) a poorly designed and even more poorly executed purge system; and (6) a resource allocation system that often left poorer counties, which often were counties with the highest percentage of black voters, adversely affected.
In other words the GOP (through Harris and Bush's brother) had to cheat in order to win.
