Oh, yes there is. “A State shall complete, not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for Federal office, any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.”

Note that it says COMPLETE, not compile a list!!!

There were lots of things keeping the 2000 election interesting.

Gore’s supporters maintained they wanted every vote counted at the same time they were trying to disqualify absentee ballots from servicemen overseas.

Ralph Nader drew enough votes off of Gore to avoid him having an easy win.

Democratic supervisors of elections had approved illegal butterfly ballots and equipment which did not properly punch holes in them

The Florida Supreme Court decided to change the rules of the voting AFTER the ballots were counted.

The US Supreme Court told the Florida Supreme Court they couldn’t do that.

Jewish voters realized they had voted for Pat Buchanan (whom they despised) by mistake on the butterfly ballots.

Dimpled chads, hanging chads and other chads made the news.

Even though an independent count after the election verified Bush 2 had won by several hundred votes out of millions of votes cast, the result was noteworthy because the winner of the plurality won all of Florida’s electoral votes and won the national election.

(It’s also noteworthy that if the people of Al Gore’s home state of Tennessee could have brought themselves to vote for him, it wouldn’t have mattered; he would have won and all would be glorious, just like Bobby Ewing coming back from the dead on Dallas.)

David for interesting elections

Well if taking off illegal’s, criminals, and the dead from the voter rolls…I guess your right.

So as long as the records are purged and purged accurately I believe its a good thing.

On the other hand perhaps we should have to provide our birth certificates at the poles…… but then again surely there is a way to falsify those too……… so how do honorable, and deserving voters feel confident only they are casting their votes………… theres no way to believe only the legals get to vote……….
