Stop foreclosure now and keep your home!
24 Feb
On news.yahoo.com a few days ago:
"Students in Virginia, Colorado and South Carolina were wrongfully told by voting officials that they could lose their scholarships and their parents would no longer be able to claim them on their income taxes if they registered to vote in their college towns.
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights launched an advertising campaign this week to combat misleading rumors - some started by local officials in mailings to voters - that people would be denied the right to vote if they lost their home to foreclosure, have a criminal record or do not have photo identification."
Does anyone have first hand experience of what’s going on?
No and I think it doesn’t really matter. Both parties engage in activities that try to get some voters to vote while trying to prevent other groups from voting. If you don’t believe me, look at all the court cases that are being waged over the election. It’s sad really because if you try to prevent fraudulent voting from one group, you’re attacked viciously by the party who wants those votes. You want people to vote who can’t prove who they are, and you’re attacked by the other party.
What you have to be careful of is rumors, which is what this sounds like. Yes, there are some mean tactics out there, but I would say that a large chunk of it is just a bunch of bull and things being taken out of context.
If there’s substantial proof (not just rumor), then that’s when you should be concerned. If not, then don’t worry about it and see how this election turns out.
