Does it mean that the DOJ will be manipulating votes to serve the needs of the GOP?

I agree. I wonder how many voters the DOJ will challenge at the polls. Not either of the campaigns, but the government.

already heard, on ed, of an “urban” area with a lact of machines…

yay! another ohio!

Yeah. Friggin’ right. That’s like the fox monitoring the henhouse. I’ll bet the hens feel really, really good about that!

On October 13, 2006, the United States filed a complaint against the City of Philadelphia, PA, under Sections 203 and 208 of the Voting Rights Act for failing to establish an effective Spanish bilingual program and for denying limited-English proficient voters their assistor of choice. On April 26, 2007, the United States filed an amended complaint, contemporaneously with the signing of a settlement agreement. The amended complaint further alleged violations of Sections 2 of the Voting Rights Act as the election system and procedures denied minority voters equal access to the election process, and 4(e) of the Voting Rights Act for its failure to provide election information to citizens educated in Spanish in American flag schools in Puerto Rico; violations of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 for failing to provide alternative-language information; and a violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 for failing to remove deceased voters from the rolls. The settlement agreement, among other things, requires the defendants to establish an effective bilingual program, including bilingual interpreters and alternative-language information; to allow limited-English proficient voters to utilize assistors of choice; to provide alternative-language information; and to undertake a program of voter list maintenance. On June 4, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania entered an order retaining jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement until July 1, 2009.

Does the above seem like a deal that should have the DOJ monitoring the DEM PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY ?

“One Man, One Vote” will come to mean our Commander-in-Chief’s vote will be the only one that counts.

Its a dry run for what they’re going to do in November

That is exactly what I was preparing to post. Getting all their little fascist ducks in a row, so the hijacking of yet another election will run like a well-oiled machine.

Any excuse to give Fredo’s hitmen (Schlozman, Spakovsky) a chance to study black folks casting their votes.

Phildadelphia was key.

This a.m., Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Spector was asked where he’d be looking to see the key results:

Philadelphia, he said.

Maybe nothing, but sure seems like Sen. Clinton’s camp thought this move was necessary.
