Speaking of the Election

The NY Times has discovered voter harassment, then and now.

In The Times on Monday, Stephanie Saul described how the plan works. True the Vote grew out of a Tea Party group in Texas, the King Street Patriots, with the assistance of Americans for Prosperity, a group founded by the Koch brothers that works to elect conservative Republicans. It has developed its own software to check voter registration lists against driver’s license and property records. Those kinds of database matches are notoriously unreliable because names and addresses are often slightly different in various databases, but the group uses this technique to challenge more voters.

Also, Sarah Silverman has a video encouraging getting necessary ID.  In, of course, her own inimitable style.  Not safe for work, around conservatives, or people who don't like her humor.
