Star publisher breaking the law with double registration?

November 6, 2008 | 3 Comments

From Jeff Roe comes news that KC Star Publisher Greg Ziemen is potentially committing election fraud by being registered to vote in two places – Kansas City, MO and Overland Park, KS. Ironically, in 2004 The Star published a big investigative piece on this very topic of Kansas Citians voting in both states.

The original article about this did not claim the Star publisher was breaking the law. (The problem with the double registration is likely the fault of the Kansas City election board not notifying Johnson County, KS.) The intent of the article was to encourage the Star to ask for reform to improve voter registration lists.

It would be nice if the media would learn the difference between being REGISTERED to vote and ACTUALLY voting.

This was the tactic the McCain/Palin campaign trotted out trying to scare voters by saying that ACORN “is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy.”

A completely bogus claim.

So now a guy like Jeff Roe trots out similar dubious claims to smear someone he doesn’t like.
To make innuendos that the Publisher of the KC Star was trying to cheat by voting twice is a pretty ludicrous allegation.

Who really gives a rat’s posterior what Jeff Roe has to say?

If you media guys would just ignore this Karl Rove-wannabe dirty trickster, maybe he would crawl back under the muddy, sow bug-infested rock from whence he came, much to all our benefit.

I for one am tired of him.
