Cheat the Vote! Part 1 in what we can only assume will be a series

Welcome to the Furdell.com countdown to the election! We'll be counting down the vast number of ways the administration intends to disenfranchise voters. And so it begins!

And where else should we start, but James & Andrew's begrudging hometown of Jacksonville, FL? Ooh, the swing state of swing states! What are those rascally Republicans up to this time?

Apparently, after a ceremony in which about 200 immigrants became naturalized citizens of Our Great and Free Country, the new citizens were asked to fill out voter registration cards. Oh, how nice! They're new citizens, so now they get to vote! All is right in the world!

Oh, wait two seconds: the party affiliation is already filled in. That's right, immigrants -- whose best interests are of course represented by the Bush administration -- were tricked into registering Republican. Brilliant.

Remember, there's still two or three months until general elections, and about 400 different ways the Bush administration can disenfranchise the nation! Join us on a journey that can only end in postponing the vote indefinitely for security reasons! America, the beautiful, with ample waves of grain! Or something! I'm feeling so patriotic right now that I'm going to beat up a foreigner.
