#1 "Rockland County elections officials are reportedly investigating a scheme to force the residents of an adult home to vote for four Democratic candidates. The Journal News reports that the residents were told if they didn't vote accordingly their television privileges would be revoked."

You get to vote Republican AND you get to avoid watching network TV?

Um.......Where's the downside?

#2 Par for the course. The only news in this story is that it's being investigated.

#5 Probably short for Yitzhak, tu3031. That's Hebrew for Isaac. That town has a large Orthodox Jewish population. Unfortunately, every religion has its goniffs.

Before someone accuses me of anti-Semitism, pleas note that I'm a Conservative Jew.

#6 What amateurs. The Democratic election handbook is very clear, get them to sign for absentee ballots and vote yourself. Then confuse them about election day or poll location and insinuate that it was the Republicans intimidation tactics to keep them away.

It's right there in chapter 1.
