Voter intimidation

I heard some disturbing news recently that Indiana’s Democratic chairman said his party is ready to challenge the votes of any lifelong Republicans who attempt to vote as Democrats in the May primary. He said “I am concerned Republicans may try to cast crossover votes to skew results in the close presidential primary between US Sen. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama”. “I'm only talking about crossover with mischievous intent,” the chairman said of his party's plans to challenge suspicious voters. “
Nobody should be able to stop people from voting a “D” or an “R”. This is America! According to Elections Supervisors, party officials armed with voting records for the past 10 years can make challenges to voters. It goes like this; voters must declare their party affiliation in spring primary elections. Local party officials watching the polling locations then could check the names of voters against a list of all registered voters that shows past party declarations. Any voter whose party affiliation is challenged can either decline to vote for the party in question or sign an affidavit, swearing under oath that they voted in the last election for a majority of the regular nominees of the party. And a grand jury could investigate anyone who signs a false affidavit. It’s truly incredible and unethical.
The Democrats are always worried about who's being disenfranchised and not being allowed to vote, they're always claiming fraud. They're now the agents of fraud in Indiana by attempting to stop people from voting, intimidating them into not voting.
Now, what's interesting about this is the media is marveling at all of the late Republican registrations in the Democrat Party, and they're attributing it to the fact that Republicans are enamored with Obama, they love Obama so much, and some of them love Hillary so much, they are changing their party. Why can’t the Democrats in Indiana believe what the media is saying? But instead they are trying to intimidate people into not voting.
