The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
US Supreme Court Overules Ohio GOP Mandates for Ohio Voter Verification
Excerpt Huffington Post: "Supreme Court's Ohio Decision Rejects GOP Voting Dispute"
The Supreme Court sided Friday with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.
The justices overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.they said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue.
...
..."They didn't deal with the merits of the case," said Ohio GOP Chairman Bob Bennett. "What they dealt with was a technicality on whether we had standing or not to bring the action."
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, faced a deadline of Friday to set up a system to provide local officials with names of newly registered voters whose driver's license numbers or Social Security numbers on voter registration forms don't match records in other government databases.
... Brunner has said the discrepancies most likely stem from innocent clerical errors rather than fraud but has set up a verification plan.
But, again, it was understood, even by the less than honest Bush administration, through the 2006 election that you can't start throwing people off voter rolls this close to an election. Why didn't the GOP protest months ago? Oh yeah, the errors would have been fixed in new voter's registration and then they could have voted. Best just to protest right before the election and get young people and minorities thrown off.
This is the same kind of sleaze we saw in 2000.
