NC-05, woo! I also suspect that each of you will want some down time post-convention and pre-GOP convention, so be sure to watch the Appalachian State Mountaineers take on the LSU Tigers on Saturday, 8/30!

Ever heard of Chicago? Do a google search on ACORN, several are now doing time in prison for voter fraud. Here is just one example of their handy work on behalf of Democrats: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=780716 The fact is that each side is always trying to scam the other to gain an advantage. The claim of either side "celebrating" voting rings hollow. Sorry. There has long been evidence of fraud when it comes to the mass registration drives for Democartic voters. Ever heard of Chicago?

I was a legal observer in NH in the 2004 general, and while that polling place was quiet, there was great concern about intimidation in Hanover (Dartmouth) and Durham (UNH). Questioning a student's eligibility to vote based on non-residence for out of staters is a favorite ploy, even thought he Attorney General has been crystal clear that they should be given a ballot once they declare that they reside at their school.

I am not surprised that there were more whites registered than blacks (in absolute numbers) because balcks make up 20% of the NC population and Wake County is predominately white whereas neighboring Durham County is more 50:50 black :white. It is interesting that the GOP does not celebrate people voting but tries instead to stop people who they deem as unlikely to vote for them from voting at all. Very interesting data from Wake County.
