American (Tea Stained) Brown Shirts

They're at it again. This is Ohio but the group doing it there is part of a wider network of voter purge volunteers funded by Texas oil money, the kind of people Ike called "few in number and... stupid".

She's having her right to vote based on the zoning status of her apartment?

How in the hell is that even possible? What does it have to do with her right to vote?

She's a renter, not an owner. In accordance with the prevailing GOP philosophy, she is therefore part of the unworthy 47%.

Ah, yes. Getting back to the days of the Founders, wherein only wealthy, white, male property owners were allowed to vote.......

I see.

"Marlene Hess Kocher, another leader of the Ohio project, filed 420 challenges in Hamilton County over the last month. Kocher alleged that eight members of an African American family, the Sharps, were registered to vote at a vacant lot in Lockland, just outside Cincinnati.

"You are hereby notified that your right to vote has been challenged," letters from county elections officials told each of the Sharps.

"Does this look like a vacant lot?" Teresa Sharp, 53, asked one recent afternoon as she and a friend sat on canvas chairs outside the four-bedroom house where the family has lived since the 1980s.

"People went through a lot just to have women allowed to vote, and then to have black people allowed to vote. So when they sent me that letter, I'm like, OK, they must know I'm black. And on top of that, my whole family — which really made me angry."

Sharp confronted Kocher at an elections board hearing. Kocher, who displays signs on her front lawn for the Cincinnati Tea Party and Republican congressional candidates, told the board she mistakenly relied on "vacant lot misinformation" that she found on the county auditor's website. She apologized to Sharp." from the link above.

Sounds like more dirty pool to me. There's no doubt these people are using this as voter intimidation, I hope there's some jail time in these scumbag's future.
