Attention: Voter List Purges Have Begun in Many States
This article from NYT shows the massive voter list purging that in many cases are erasing the expected increases in Democratic registrations. This is happening in battleground states and may make the key difference in the upcoming election. Many states are violating federal law by their actions, but typical lack of transparency, accountability and actions by the Bush DOJ are making these purges impossible to challenge and reverse in time.

I'm at a loss for an explanation as to why Republicans, with all their power to steal elections, did not make a dent on the Democratic landslide of 2006.

They surely did. Republican voter suppression work typically erases 2-4% of the democratic vote - it is just a fact of life. That is why Obama must be +5% over McCain going into the election.

This is why I believe Chuck Todd when he says shave 3 points off Obama's poll numbers.
I was listening to the Newshour while Jim Lerher asked reporters with newspapers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida about the campaign in their area. What they said wasn't a compliment to democracy in United States.
Let's keep head in the sand and pretend we don't know or want to know what is going on.
