RV voter purge fails

The Republicans have been executing a war on voting - in which they suppress voter turnout in an effort to bring about results they deem more favorable.

In the past few years, they've accomplished this by implementing more rigid ID requirements (which are an illegal poll tax), cracking down on voter carpools, and using lists of foreclosure victims to weed out voters. In 2006, Tennessee illegally purged hundreds of voters from the rolls all because they lived in recreational vehicles. The state's excuse was that RV communities are commercial addresses. (Actually the state purged them because they thought they were all hippies who weren't going to support the "right" candidates.)

The ACLU sued over Tennessee's policy. Now an eastern Tennessee county has agreed to allow RV residents to vote. Other counties are expected to follow suit.

Gasp! Letting people vote! How novel! Next thing you know, voting machines might actually start working right again.
