Tsk Tsk Ms Brunner, the court says you are guilty of

UPDATE: Brunner will not have to change her voter lists as of Saturday, October 11, 2008 3:36 AM

Judge Richard Allen Griffin dissented, saying the three-judge panel should not have acted so quickly and that Brunner’s “lack of concern for the integrity of the elections process is astounding and deeply disturbing.”

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner appeals ruling, fights effort to validate registrations. Courts just keep insisting that she comply with the federal election laws.

Participation is the fullest measure of democracy.

Is this the kind of help you need from ACORN so you can register homeless people and all??? Sounds like Ms Brunner wants a lot of people to register so they can participate in the presidential election.

U.S. District Judge George C. Smith in Columbus ruled that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner must perform verification required by the Help America Vote Act. That includes matching new registrants’ information against information in databases maintained by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration.

Ohio found a “cat” registered to vote a few years ago. So you can see why people are worried.

cat registered to vote in Ohio

She says that the software has problems. Uh huh. Cuz you know it includes matching a new registrant’s information with information in databases maintained by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration. All of the contested information is stored within the software. She is the only one who has access to it. Sharing is caring Ms. Brunner.

Secret stuff, well you know those privacy laws. Sounds a bit “fishy.”

Sounds more like stall tactics since the deadline for validation of these registration forms comes next week. You can watch the video on Greta’s On The Record.

Now we know that you (Democrat) will uphold the law. Darned software, OOPS!

Don’t mind my cynicism, that “Florida pregnant chad” thing sticks in my brain. That what others have said as well.

She said that there is a creation of “fear.” Where did she get that from? Obama’s Fight the smears?

I am sure that these pesky allegations will be taken care of properly. Yeah, right.

(Columbus) – A federal court ruled tonight that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner violated federal election laws by not taking adequate steps to validate the identity of newly registered voters.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge George C. Smith called the identification breakdown “a serious problem” and ordered Brunner to immediately comply with federal requirements to match voter registration data with the information in the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration databases. The court accused Brunner of failing to provide county election administrators with “an effective way to access and review mismatches.” She immediately appealed the ruling.

“For some reason, Jennifer Brunner does not want these new registrations checked,” said Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine. “Her refusal to comply with federal law raises serious concerns about her ability to objectively oversee this election. It’s especially troubling in light of her connection to ACORN and that group’s stunning confession this week of fraudulent registration activity happening right here in Ohio.”

Brunner’s effort to fight the court order comes just two days after the Democrat activist group ACORN admitted to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections that the group engages in fraudulent voter registration activity.

Ohio ACORN officials “blamed the elections board for not scrutinizing ACORN’s suspicious cards,” claiming the group “can’t be expected to catch everything.”

ACORN is facing similar inquires in other Ohio counties as well as 10 other states. Members of the group’s “voter-mobilization arm,” Project Vote, regularly advise Brunner on election strategy, even recently issuing a news release that claims credit for Brunner’s directive restricting challenges to suspected fraudulent voter registrations. Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama also has strong ties to ACORN, working previously as an attorney and “leadership trainer” for the group.
