The GOP seemed to get awfully lucky with registration switches to the Republican Party in critical counties in swing states. There were the switches in "Little Texas" in New Mexico, and an amazing number of Florida college students, at least 4,000 of them, mostly African-American, who switched to the Republican Party a month before the November 2004 election.
However, Ion Sancho, the non-partisan elections supervisor in Tallahassee, became suspicious when he received a registration switch from one new Republican: his stepdaughter. Look at this signature; it's not a bad forgery. The students, it turns out, thought they had signed a petition to legalize use of marijuana for medical purposes. Covered over by the "legalize pot" sign-up sheet was a registration change form. The form requires two signatures. The second signature was forged, copied from the one obtained by the "pot" fraud. The students, doubly registered, then lost their right to vote altogether. Elections supervisor Sancho immediately called the cops, but Governor Jeb Bush's state police informed him that they would be too busy to investigate until after Election Day. They never did.
In Ohio, it was much simpler. Statistician Anthony Fairfax discovered that Black voters were twice as likely as white voters to have their mail-in registrations simply rejected. In Congresswoman Katherine Harris's district in Florida, Democrats found that, though they submitted registration forms on time, they were entered on the voter rolls only after the deadline, barring them from voting in the Presidential race.
Oddly enough... this book, though released on the 6th is still unavailable at Barnes & Noble in the Charlotte area. Yet Coulter's new "book" has floorstands galore. Sweet. I special ordered a copy tho... hopefully it will show up soon.
