Kept that way, it seems, by people who live in parking lots and condemned buildings. Bill Hobbs has the goods on voter fraud in Davidson County / Nashville. A temporary employee has made a go at registered fake voters. The problem is that this person who registered these 200 fantasy Democratic voters (fitting, for those ought be the only voters who actually buy into the fantasy candidacy of John Kerry) is likely not the only one doing it. We need to catch them all - in actuality we need a knee-deep, page by page purging of the voter rolls in Nashville, almost to the point where individuals go to the door of the person on the list and see if they still live there.

I was doing some door-to-door for a state house candidate in Nashville last weekend, when I encountered one of the voters on our likely voter, leans Republican list. It was an elderly woman, who, due to the nature of the neighborhood, was wisely in the habit of talking through her storm door. Despite my records, which showed her voting every two years since 1952, she claims to have never voted, ever, and in fact to have never been registered. Of course, if one did register to vote over 50 years ago, and then never did vote, it's quite possible that one may have forgotten she had registered. But to have voted in 2002, and to never know it, - that presents more questions than answers. This experience is purely anecdotal, but seems to comport with the theme of voter fraud that has been rampant in Davidson County since Reconstruction.

As Hobbs notes, Friday is the last day to register in Tennessee for the presidential election. Bush will win Tennessee no matter what - Tennesseans did reject Gore, remember - but the state house and senate is another matter entirely.

If you're conservative, and you haven't registered yet, this is the time.
