    Here's your answer: (and it's not just democrats, its any voter who fits that criteria)

    It has been brought to my attention that the NC State Board of Elections has a glitch in their record keeping.

    Example: If you registered to vote, let's just say in the 1950′s or 60′s, AND you did not fill in the “Date of Birth” section on the voter registration form, then your date of birth, in the electronic database, results in a 'DEFAULT DATE' of January 1, 1900.

    So you don't consider it odd that the number keeps growing and not decreasing ?

    On Tuesday, the last day of voter registration in Colorado, the state elections website got four times its normal traffic, enough to swamp the servers and crash the page. Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler says the site got 162,713 visits that day, with 36,206 people either registering to vote or updating their registrations.

    I just hope those voters can show up at the polls and be able to vote, no matter who they vote for.

    Colorado doesn't have EDR. Election Day Registration. So Im not sure how they can resolve that one.

    Colorado also has an issue with registering illegals.

    They also seem to like Romney, he packed 'em in at the Red Rock.

    Check out the video the Denver Post put together:

    Dumm said everyone agrees ineligible voters shouldn't cast ballots. But she argued that Gessler should focus on more important issues, like making sure the secretary of state's office website functions properly to allow people to register to vote, and coordinating with clerks on election issues before November. She said the 441 figure amounts to a "rounding error" in the greater scheme, considering there are 3.5 million registered voters in Colorado.

    Back to that phony narrative, eh? Once again we're talking real issues and you guys keep making it about small things. There was nothing wrong with what Mourdock said, it was thoughtful, considered answer that takes into account the difficulty of the issue.

    You guys seem to think there is nothing difficult about abortion, it's not a baby so it's disposable. The mom might struggle to raise it so it's disposable. It might have a birth defect so it's disposable. The woman just isn't ready for a baby so it's disposable. It was unintended so it's disposable. It was the product of rape so it's disposable.

    Sorry folks, but the most innocent form of human life isn't disposable. Like Mourdock I admit it isn't an easy issue, but even in cases of rape or incest it's still life.

    No one ever said that - YOU said that. It's disgusting.

    Yes there was but you're too committed to admit it.

    Are you really that ignorant or just that full of hate and intolerance? Look up the word "contrast."

    Well that answered my first question. Now look up the word "seem."

    And the circle begins again. I don't discount any life involved, hence the admission that it's a difficult issue. Really ex, we've been all over that and quite frankly I'm bored with straw men.

    Certainly, if you can dismiss the mother as a straw man, then it's no wonder you hold the position you do... I suppose you HAVE to do that in order to divorce her so completely from the equation.

    Thinking people, however, realize that there's TWO lives involved.
