LOD: Daily Show in Florida

Want to know what kind of havoc an anti-voter governor can inflict on citizens he doesn’t like? You can get a taste from the initiatives of Gov. Rick Scott in Florida, including ridiculous rules for registering new voters that drove away the League of Women Voters and mean-spirited ethnic cleansing of voters already on the rolls, aka purging. The US Justice Department has finally taken the Scott’s administration to court for flagrantly violating the National Voter Registration Act. You can read a sobering account or get the humorous account from this Daily Show video. Either way, count your blessings if you live in North Carolina – and beware of those politicians and policy cranks who would cheat thousands out of their vote in order to stop one cheater from casting a ballot.
