COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A judge in South Carolina ruled Friday that it is too late to reopen voter registration for nearly 1,900 teens after the state Department of Motor Vehicles failed to notify election officials that they checked the box to register as they got their driver’s licenses.
The teens were 17 at the time they went to the DMV, but would be 18 by Election Day. A glitch in the DMV’s computers did not identify the teens as qualified and did not present them with an additional electronic form certifying they were citizens, not felons and otherwise qualified to vote.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued to reopen registration on Tuesday, a day after early voting started in South Carolina. They provided several possible ways the teens could register and be allowed to cast ballots.
But Judge Daniel Coble said it is just too close to Election Day to do something so drastic as to alter the voting rolls.

^Excellent move, Hinchcliffe! If you really want Trump back in the White House, start slurring Germans and Poles - Pennsylvanians LOVE a good ethnic joke!

Yeah, the thought that racism should be the subject of a joke only means that the joker is not only a bigot, but an exceptionally obtuse bigot.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The point, ofc, is to remove citizens who they think are likely to vote dem. The scary part is humoring them at all.

At least in Virginia they can re-register right up to the moment of voting.
