Florida Concocts Signature Test to Purge Democratic Voters

I took this from my information online just now verifying my voter registration information.


Eligible to Vote: Active*

*An active voter refers to a registered voter who is eligible to vote.

This says I am eligible to vote with no caveats about my signature having to match anything. How does FL get away with making all these new rules? Is there no way to stop the insanity?

1. Somebody in the Justice Department needs to get on this, NOW.

I can't believe this shit is happening with no response from federal authorities. What could be more important or more urgent?

[yesphan]

2. Nothing !

Democracy is being undermined. This should be on the front burner right now !

[Occulus]

12. Holder needs to address more immediate concerns, such as MMJ dispensaries.

Making sure sick people cannot get the medicine they need is far, far more important to Obama's DOJ than your ability to vote.

3. They just pulled the same shit on me in AZ.

I will have to follow this up.

4. Florida's where they are going to try to steal this. Yay, I'm at ground zero

We are going to need poll watchers this November like a 3rd world country. Maybe we can get Jimmy Carter to come help us out.

I'll be working with the Duval Co Dems like I did back in 08 to make sure that everyone who shows up gets to vote as well as reporting the totals from the friggin machines at the end of the night. Vote early if you can and get your happy asses down here to ensure a fair and legal election, We cannot let the Brooks Brothers Brigade steal ANOTHER ONE down here.

5. Though voter suppression tactics are being used by the Republican/Fascist party.

Florida is their best (and highly likely) chance to steal a state. If there is a 10% margin in the polls in Pennsylvania, Obama should still win by 3-6%

8. If they steal Florida again, shame on the DNC and the Administration for not vigorously

challenging these Republican voter suppression tactics as soon as they appeared.

11. Like? We ARE a 3rd World country.

6. I've got hand tremors

I never sign the same twice in a row

[OriginalGeek]

7. What. The. Fuck.

Are they going to employ handwriting experts at every polling station?

[Odin2005]

13. The "test" will be skin color.

if you have dark skin your signature fails, if you are white it passes.

[FLyellowdog]

15. No, more like if you're a Democrat, you fail!!!

[Odin2005]

9. The fix is in, the bastards!

This is completely subjective and thus they can disqualify anyone they want!

10. No One Ever Signs Exactly The Same Way Twice

Handwriting rhythm rarely changes over a lifetime. However, no one ever writes exactly the same way twice. Signatures are never exactly the same. One sure sign of forgery is when two signatures are exactly alike. It is a form of forgery called "tracing" where the forger just traces the signature and transfers it to legal document.

It would be easy to strip voters by claiming their signatures do not match. It would be an easy way to challenge a vote. Only an expert can really tell if a signature is true or not. And in some cases it can be very difficult. They could easily use phony signature challenges to just about disenfranchise any voter they wanted to this way.

As a former master handwriting analyst I have run into situations where a clerk at a bank is used to verify signatures. I had my house payment bounced a long time ago because a clerk said the signature on my check was not mine. The bank backed the clerk.

14. I also looked again at my voter registration card's signature

just to make sure I know what it looks like. I signed it again after a move almost 15 years ago and I still sign my name almost the same way. I'll practice it because I'm getting paranoid about all this crap.

I cannot believe that our country is in such a mess....the GOP is really a despicable group of individuals. If they pull this off and win the election, America deserves what she gets. I'm sorry, but this is just about a cross I cannot bear.

I was in tears and ranted and raved for days after * was reelected to a second term. I don't honestly know how I'll be able to cope if Obama loses. I really don't.
