Apparently, a "real"news network is one that is only liberal? At least Fox News tells both sides.

Palestra = Fox News puppets

More than 10 pieces of student-reported Palestra content a week should be running on both the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network by the fall as the school year restarts and the presidential campaigns swing into high gear. And founder Joe Weasel--a former on-air journalist for NBC affiliate WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio--says he began talking with Fox's local affiliates last week about placing Palestra content on their Web sites around the country, which could lead to on-air spots.

So are you disputing the story or just doing a driveby?

This is not against the law for college students to switch so that they can vote where they are. Good Grief u people need to get a life. I watched an interview today of someone who worked for the republicans and during one of the previous elections they jammed the lines at the democrats offices. The guy plead guilty and served his time.

He got paid 7-12 dollars for every person he registered as a Republican.

i think that what you're referring to is students registering to vote in the places where they live. what is wrong with that? if you live in a place at least 3/4 year and espec election day, why shouldn't a student register in that area? hell, i wish that i could register in a battleground state too.

Yeah, and why look for yourself when you might find something you don't like.

Like this:
GOP registration collector arrested - UPI.com
Quote:
Jacoby fraudulently registered himself to vote at a childhood California home, but doesn't live there any longer. They allege he registered fraudulently so he could meet the requirement that signature gatherers be registered in California, the Times said.

The California Republican Party had hired Jacoby's firm, Young Political Majors, to register new GOP voters in the state.


However, dozens of voters said they were duped into registering as Republicans by the firm, saying they were told they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters. The Times said the firm was paid up to $12 for every state resident registered as a Republican.
Satisfied?

The 13 that withdrew their votes did so because they voted in Ohio where they were staying to work on Obama team.
They should have voted in their home state, not Ohio.
They are all lawyers and knew better, but did it anyway.
My point is voter fraud, not because they voted for Obama.
I would be just as upset if they voted for Mccian.
What is troubling to me, is it is happening under our noses and does anyone really care about it?
Most of the replys here has been not about what happened, but that it was exposed by someone they do not like.
