Polly the Pollster in My Hometown

Not long ago in my hometown Miss Polly Prevaricator set up a card table at the corner of Market and Main Streets in my hometown (this is the center of town). As folk passed by her she said she was taking a poll and then asked them if they intended to vote for Romney or Obama in the oncoming election and then marked the results on a clipboard. To those who replied, “Obama” she wished them a good day and thanking them for participating in her poll. Those who replied they were voting for Romney, she thanked and then handed them a voter registration form so they could indeed vote for Romney.

Now many of you know I write hometown stories that have no real basis in fact but do make a point. As a matter a fact my hometown is so small you don’t need to register to vote. However, there is a point to this story as it is taking place all over the country and is GOP strategy and a goodly number of these cases have been taken to court; the Voter Registration Fraud Scandal. The GOP is paying big bucks for this tactic; a $3 million registration program was scuttled last week for fraudulently registration forms were discovered by a firm hired by the RNC to sign up Republican voters in Florida North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, and Nevada.
