Indiana voter list

dimanche 5 novembre 2017 à 01:00

Indiana removes voters from the voter list using a program that is wrong 99% of the time.

The program is called Crosscheck, but Indiana used to crosscheck its results before removing people. Nowadays, if the program says a person with your name and birthdate is registered in another state, Indiana will take you off the lists immediately. Even though most of the people the program accuses do belong on the list.

Being double-registered is not wrong, anyway. Voting twice is fraud, but having a registration in another state may only mean that you moved and the other state doesn't know. As long as you don't actually vote twice, you shouldn't be blocked from voting once.

Prisoners and district lines

'Burglary' arrest

Thugs in Gulfport, Mississippi, arrested Kelvin Fairley and his children at gunpoint, because they thought they had all burgled the house where they actually lived.

The thugs were unwilling to look at his identification, which would have demonstrated the truth, until they had brought him to jail.

Later, when he went to complain, the thugs didn't care. So now he plans to sue them.
