    This guy is lying. The State provides a list of voters to be purged to the town and county supervisors. But it is up to the Supervisors to notify the citizens that their name is being removed. In a number of instances the Supervisors are not notifying the citizenry, and in these cases they would show up election day and then have to vote on provisional ballot. And as we know, provisional ballots don't get counted.

    These people are idiots. I love that we need to investigate and appoint special prosecutor for leaks with regard cyber attacks on Iran. Yet the leaking of a CIA agent by Bush doesn't warrant congressional investigation, we were lied into war with Iraq, no investigation, the Defense department using propaganda, no investigation. I can go on and on. These guys are idiots. But what's even more amazing is that the US considers a Cyber Attack a declaration of war on our sovereignty. These idiots in Congress have been running around saying Iran is the agressor, yet we are finding out that we have a secret program to assassinate Iran scientists and a secret program of cyber attacks. If either happened to the US we would immediately attack another country. If Iran were to do anything to retaliate, these idiots would go on TV and say they hate us for our freedom. But in a democracy, don't the American people have a right to know when war has been declared in their name? Don't we have a right to know actions which could int he future put American lives in danger? I call them idiots cause they believe democracy is secretive, when in fact it is suppose to be open and informative. They just don't believe in democracy. Again you ask the wrong questions CNN.
