Voter Supression Tactics in Michigan?

Ok, I went walking today for Obama and had the chance to register two first-time voters. Wow, what a rush, eh? A chance to help two young men exercise their rights as citizens of this great country.

The Michigan Forms are a little hard to navigate, and so I helped the guys the best I could. I mean, I do have a master's degree and did voting rights work in the last election, I should be a good guy to help, right?

Sigh. Well, Michigan requires two signatures on their form and they only signed it once. Why does Michigan require 2 signatures? Right on top of each other? I can only assume it is a voter suppression tactic, unless someone can tell me a better explanation.

Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. - Martin Luther King Jr. Principles in an Unprincipled Crisis (by Jim Wallis) SBC-Controlled Bookstores Remove Magazine With Women Pastors on Cover (by Mimi Haddad) A Historic Week for South Africa (by Nontando Hadebe) Micah's Challenge to the Future President (by Brian Swarts) + See more of what's new on the God's Politics Blog All scripture passages are quoted from the New Revised Standard Version unless otherwise noted.
