Something just occured to me. If news of Joe Wurzelbacher's status as an unregistered voter was mistakenly reported because his name was misspelled on Ohio voter rolls, that would seem to support Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's claims that purging voters based on mismatched database queries risks disenfranchising thousands of eligible voters!
In case you missed my earlier post, Alliance for Justice wrote on its Justice Watch blog that Ms. Brunner is appealing a Sixth Circuit decision demanding that she hand over voter rolls to the Ohio Republican Party. She is concerned that "allowing local parties to challenge voter eligibility so close to the election (they were already given two years to do so) might mean the disqualification of thousands of perfectly legitimate votes."
And it appears her fears may very well be correct! I suppose we should thank Sen. McCain for this revelation. Of course, I don't expect him to acknowledge this point any time soon -- not while he's busy trying to convince the country that ACORN is perpetrating such rampant voter fraud as to threaten the very fabric of our democracy.
