They dropped his name from the voting rolls!!

Of all the people to do this to! Did anyone else see him on Maher a couple weeks ago warning about all the names that were being illegally dropped from the rolls and warning people not to accept provisional ballots?

Looks like he got it straightened out eventually.

    His appearance on Bill Maher was the first thing I thought of when I read the title for this thread.

    The comments below that video are pretty hysterical, if not frightening. You know, calling Tim Robbins a crybaby and a whiner and stating that he caused the problem and blah blah blah.

    I particularly like the comment accusing TMZ of being biased because they aren't reporting on the guys in Philly with the clubs. You know, it's important to hold reputable and respected news organizations such as TMZ to the highest standards...ugh...the mind reels.

    Yeah, it's funny how he was just warning people of that on RealTime, and it happened to him.

    Well, not funny...actually pretty sad.

    I wonder how many people would just give up if they knew they had to go to all that effort getting their names on the roll that they should have been on in the first place.
