Every day until the election, we'll be posting a round up of the day's related stories. These will include articles from NowPublic members and staff, as well as many other sources.

Voting Issues

In voter fraud issues, member Karen Hatter posted about the Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman being sued for the wrongful removal of voters from the registration rolls:

Mr Coffman is reported as saying he is confident he has complied with laws regarding voter registration and cancellations.

Master Jim is writing about voter purging and fraud as well:

his is of course another trick to win an election, just like Ohio in 04 and Florida in 2000. If they can't win outright and proper, they put in "the fix" I have so often mentioned.

Paisano1 wrote yesterday about the same issue, doing a bit of research about the questionable tallying of votes in 2000 and 2004:

"Hacking Democracy was about the 2000 and 2004 elections. Concentrating on discrepencies in Florida and Ohio respectively."

NowPublic member methodshop noticed something strange going on at the Amazon online store, when you search for 'terrorist mask' Obama comes up as the #1 result:

What the hell is going on at Amazon.com? This morning we did a search for "terrorist costume" in the Apparel section. The search returned only 1 result: a Barack Obama mask.

Amazon.com Search: "terrorist costume"

The word "terrorist" isn't used in the item's description or keywords. So the fault doesn't fall on the manufacturer. Obviously someone who works at Amazon has a hidden agenda and categorized the Obama mask under "terrorist" on their own.
