Filed under the "Maybe it's Nothing, Maybe it's Something" department:

I registered to vote in my current jurisdiction in late September. I went into the polls today to cast my vote, and was told I'd need to cast a provisional ballot because I was not listed on the voter rolls.

I started getting upset, and the poll judge took me aside, and let me use his phone (I'd not brought mine in) to call the Board of Elections, who duly informed me that my registration, dated 25th September, had been overridden on 1st October by my having been "merged" into the list for the county in which I formerly resided.....three years ago.

Some of you probably recall last week's story about the girl in El Paso County, Colorado who was canvassing voter registrations on a partisan basis (legal) but claiming affiliation with the local Clerk of Courts (not so much.)

Turns out that girl in Colorado was working for one of the Republican Party's favorite GOTV/Suppress-the-Vote henchmen, the infamous Nathan Sproul. I trust he requires no introduction in these pages; for any who are unfamiliar, Google has his Greatest Hits here.

With that news breaking, the GOP quickly fired Sproul's firm, which rather makes you wonder how he keeps getting hired to begin with. Note also that Sproul has, to date, been paid at least $8.1 million for his efforts, which have yielded multiple electoral fraud investigations.

Needless to say, the real crime was "getting caught".

I'll let this video speak for itself.

After the whole "legitimate rape" thing, I offered Akin $100 in donations on Twitter if he'd give a speech on female anatomy. Astonishingly, I was not taken up on my offer.

The first rule of Union-Busting Club is never to talk about Union-Busting Club. And if you talk about Union-Busting Club, you most especially must not hand out the number for the Union-Busting Hotline.

And if you talk about Union-Busting Club or hand out the Union-Busting Hotline number, Wal-Mart would like to remind you, their esteemed associate, that the company will be held responsible for your actions and statements.

What's the solution to these nefarious union organizers? Simple: You must organize!

_{But in case you missed the first two warnings, don't talk about it, you big dummy.}

Found on Reddit last night, here's a video that shows a young girl in Colorado out registering people to vote.

Great, right?

Hold on a minute. The lady whom she is soliciting in the video asks her who she's working for, to which she replies "The El Paso County Clerk's Office." The lady being solicited asks another question: "And who are you registering? All voters?"

The girl replies: "We're out here in support of Romney, actually."
