<br>
It does wrong to voters to capriciously subject a set of them to extra steps. But we have twin compounding problems: <br>
<br>
1) If voter histories later erode away for some voters, they go into end-stage purge mode.

This error has been compounded because it was repeated in Jackson Baker’s commentary “Recount in Advance,” published the same day.

Then Mr. Cohen needs to make yet another call to the US Justice Department (Has he reached 1,000 of those yet?), and insist the matter be investigated. I am with you, lets find out.

      <![CDATA["Same b/s as in other "red" states. Voter suppression- no matter how extreme- is still not going to deliver a win for GOP in November."<br>
<br>
If you're talking about the Presidential Election you may be right, but voter suppression in Shelby County wouldn't be aimed at affecting the Presidential Election.<br>
<br>
I think it's pretty fair to say that we know that no matter how blue Shelby County votes, the state of Tennessee's electoral votes will go to the GOP.
