[EL] Fwd: MAINE GOP UNCOVERS 19 ELECTION DAY REGISTRATIONS FROM ONE MAINE...

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

Of course I don't know if this situation is true here or not, and maybe  
not, but one of my experiences, that all seem to acknowledge and that I draw 
on,  is false registrations.  If they were false, it seems that requiring a  
voter ID would likely prevent voting based on the false registration.   
There are many documented cases of false registrations, so why isnt this a  
remedy to prevent voting based on the false registration?  And if the  intent 
behind false registration isn't voting based on them, what would it be?  Jim

Thanks for Megan, et al. for following up on the ME case (or non-case).  

My first thought was that this was another example of ID proponents only  
going with their own experience: most of us only stay at hotels for short  
stays, so these people must be the same. My first thought was that these  were 
likely employees of some firm or business who were in the state for an  
extended off and on again stay...maybe they knew they were going to be in the  
state for the days/weeks around election in thought this was the best way to 
 vote. Or even campaign workers who decided that after several months in  
the state they might as well vote there (nothing illegal about that...is  
there?). My final thought was that homeless can use as their address a  
location where they get mail, even if they don't sleep there. If the hotel was  in 
an area with lots of poverty, this address might serve that purpose. 
 
Lots of possibilities...did the GOP in Maine make a statement regarding  
the explanation given my the Dems there?
