Well, reading the posts the below, I am glad to know that this info is not trustworthy. Maybe, it's best to remove the thread all together.

That diary has been pretty much debunked by Obama supporters.
look at the comments

It includes changed addresses and duplicate registrations.

18. There are so many new people here, and I suspect many were
playing with their Power Rangers or what-have-you when all that BBV stuff happened. They don't have a clue as to what that three letter word "Bev" means. So they'll keep flogging this bullshit like it's real, even though, if they bothered to click on the link provided, that even the experienced and knowledgeable Die-Hards over at the Big Orange Website don't buy it either.

6. And? What's your point?
Edited on Mon May-05-08 01:17 PM by NJSecularist
Those voter rolls were most likely checked, double checked and then triple checked for their validity before they were purged. Most of the voter rolls responsible probably were duplicates or people who moved who has moved or died, and that is why they were purged.

But of course I'm sure we'll hear the usual tinfoil hat conspiracy theories from the Obamacult....

8. HA! Read the responses at the link. Even the Kosheads aren't buying this one.
Please, save yourselves from another Kantor debacle. Read the Kos thread. Follow the links.

9. The original story is from BBV. Sorry, I just can't trust Bev Harris, and I'm an Obama supporter.

11. The original source on this appears to be Bev Harris
Consequently, a lot of people on DKos are questioning the report, as they will here.

Does anybody have another source for this story?

13. Move along...nothing to see here...hey! Look over there!!!
"Lake County has one of the heaviest concentrations of African-American voters that you'll find anywhere in the USA. "

Oh, but it's from Bev Harris. Let's find another source, like...um... um.... um...

19. Do some perusing of the DU archives--she had quite a run here, some time back.
Much contentiousness, too. It's an interesting historical record.

20. You mean when Black voters show up tomorrow in IN will they be denied the vote?
...What happened over the past two weeks with early voting in IN, were blacks denied the vote all along?

23. They won't be denied. There will just be extremely long lines and broken voting machines...
in those districts.
