115. I posted something the other day that I was told by a friend in Colorado

Sun Sep 23, 2012, 10:26 PM

Sep 2012

And most people though maybe he was lying. I'm starting to think maybe he wasn't, that it was the Republicans that are playing politics with voter registration.

Here it is verbatim:

"Interesting think happened to me today, I went to <name of grocery store redacted> today (a grocery store) and there was and individual outside trying to register voters. I am already registered to vote so I decided to mess with the guy as I approached. I told him I could not vote because I was on a student visa from Canada so I could not register. The guy told me that I could register because he could work it to where I could vote as long as I voted for Obama in the upcoming elections. I was amazed that someone would be so bold. He told me all I needed was the current address I was living at and he could get me registered. This makes me wonder what is really going on in this election."
