Closed meeting legal, county says

A lawyer for Douglas County says it was legal for Election Commissioner Dave Phipps to keep the public out of a meeting designed to provide Phipps feedback about changes in polling places.

This is another chapter in the GOP Voter Disenfranchisement Scandal.
They are closing polling places in Omaha. Primarily in poorer and minority neighborhoods...(Neighborhoods more likely to vote Democratic.)
The Election Commissioner Dave Phipps keeps the public out of a meeting designed to provide Phipps feedback about changes in polling places.
He has stated that he plans to hold no hearings or meetings at which the public will be allowed to participate or even observe.
Decisions made behind closed doors to benefit one party, the GOP and their TeaBag masters. To the detriment of whole neighborhoods and to the very idea of a participatory democracy.
Sneaky. Nasty. Unethical. Despicable. UnAmerican... and standard operating procedure for the new TeaBag infested GOP.
If you intend to make it harder for people to vote, you damn sure ought to make yourself available to hear their side of the story. I know it might make Election Commissioner Dave Phipps uncomfortable to hear from actual voters, but that's his job.
Remember this slime ball, Election Commissioner Dave Phipps, when it comes time to vote and fire the bastard!

Let's just make sure when they vote that they don't have to show any ID, so we can bus in the illegal farm workers and have acorn give them free meals.

Hey ralph: better run down to the local book store: Michelle Obama has launched a book on gardening, American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America. Did she give credit to the Park Services employees who actually planted the garden? Michelle only shows up for photo-ops in her expensive designer outfits. She would be the last person I would look up to for food idea's.

Yes, free meals. The ultimate act of liberal degeneracy! Does ACORN even exist any more? If you are going to mention the problems ACORN had with subcontractors you should also mention the McCain campaign having the same problem on a grander scale. Prove even one fraudulent vote was cast because of ACORN or McCain's contactor. Even one.
The point is OPENNESS and ACCESS to our government. Closed meetings are against the law! How about following the law!
How about allowing citizens the opportunity to be heard, for and against? That's what this is about.
My god you are dense.
Elk Grove is more depressing than I remembered it. Is there a decent place to eat on this bunghole of a town?

Sounds like a real topic of concern, idiot. Do you slander very one who writes a gardening book or is it just your irrational infatuation with the First Lady?
You're the kind of rude asshole that I would have decked just for fun, in my younger days. Now I am older and wiser and I take comfort in the fact that I will outlive you and I will leave each of my kids and grandkids more dough than you will make in your whole worthless life and still have something left for my favorite left wing charities (Catholic Worker and St Vincent de Paul Society).

I could care less about Elk Grove, I don't live here because of EG. I live here because of the location being close to Tahoe and Bay area. It's already been proven, just in Missouri, not mentioning the other states: In the state of Missouri in 1986, 12 ACORN members were convicted of voter fraud. But that case was not an isolated incident in the state. In December 2004, in St. Louis, six volunteers pleaded guilty of dozens of election law violations for filling out registration cards with names of dead people and other bogus information. Authorities launched an earlier investigation after noticing that among the new voters was longtime St. Louis alderman Albert “Red” Villa, who died in 1990. The volunteers worked for “Operation Big Vote”— a branch of ACORN — in St. Louis.

On February 10, 2005, Nonaresa Montgomery, a paid worker who ran Operation Big Vote during the run-up to the 2001 mayoral primary, was found guilty of vote fraud. Montgomery hired about 30 workers to do fraudulent voter-registration canvassing. Instead of knocking on doors, the volunteers sat at a St. Louis fast food restaurant and wrote out names and information from an outdated voter list. About 1,500 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in.

In October 2006, St. Louis election officials discovered at least 1,492 “potentially fraudulent” voter registration cards. They were all turned in by ACORN volunteers.

In November 2006, 20,000 to 35,000 questionable voter registration forms were turned in by ACORN officials in Missouri. Most all of these were from St. Louis and Kansas City areas, where ACORN purportedly sought to help empower the “disenfranchised” minorities living there. But the ACORN workers weren’t just told to register new voters. The workers admitted on camera that they were coached to tell registrants to vote for Democrat Claire McCaskill. In 2007, in Kansas City, Missouri, four ACORN employees were indicted for fraud. In April of this year eight ACORN employees in St. Louis city and county pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting bogus voter registrations.

And, that was just Missouri.

I doubt she had much to do with it. If a healthy do as I do person wrote a book, I might look at it, but not buy it. But not from Moochelle.
