MONTGOMERY- Secretary of State Beth Chapman reported today that requests for voter registration applications are at an all-time high in Alabama. Chapman’s office, which remained opened during today’s state holiday, Columbus Day, has mailed 13,000 voter registration applications over the past twelve months to individuals requesting them from her website alone. In addition thousands have been shipped from Chapman’s office warehouse in bulk to various groups conducting voter registration drives.


Jefferson County has registered 35,000 new voters in less than three months while Shelby County registered 5,232 last month with 2,000 new applications waiting to be entered into the system. Montgomery reported 10,000 applications in less than a month and the numbers being reported across the state are basically the same on a per capita basis. “Our Probate Judges, Circuit Clerks and Registrars across the state and their staffs are working extraordinarily hard to meet the needs of our voters. There is no doubt that this November will see the highest number of voters in our state’s history,” Secretary Chapman said. Chapman’s office remained open today when most state employees are celebrating Columbus Day. “My staff and our state’s voter registrars are working nights, weekends and holidays to ensure that every eligible voter is registered and that we have the most fair and honest elections process possible,” Chapman said.


Chapman and her staff have developed a state-of-the-art website to assist voters. The site, www.AlabamaVotes.gov provides those interested with their voter registration status, a sample ballot, the location of their polling place and much more. “We have brought new technology to the voters of our state and they are using it to the tune of thousands of hits a day” Chapman said. The deadline for voter registration is October 24. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is October 30. For more information please visit www.AlabamaVotes.gov or call toll-free 1-800-274-VOTE.

lol, could be, could be. for sure. seems the one the big “O” claims he wrote well lets just say there never was one. imagine that.Conservative provocateurs have been hunting for it. Investigative journalists have been on the prowl, too. Even a former professor has been searching through old boxes for his copy of it. But today Barack Obama made it official: He doesn’t have and can’t release any copies of the thesis-length paper he wrote 25 years ago while a senior at Columbia University.

“We do not have a copy of the course paper you requested and neither does Columbia University,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt told NBC News.

The hunt for Obama’s senior “thesis” began with a throwaway line in a newspaper article last October. The New York Times story, on Obama’s early New York years, mentioned in passing that the presidential contender had majored in political science at Columbia and had spent his time “writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament.”

Remember fastcheck.org?
The people that did the test on obama certificate of live birth.
They are owned by annenberg group.
Factcheck.org has a conflict of interest in covering Barack Obama because they are owned by The Annenberg Foundation.

“Americans have a much higher opinion of the Democratic Party than the Republican Party. A majority - 52 percent - have a favorable opinion of the Democrats, while far less - 37 percent - have a favorable opinion of Republicans.“
