What lucky is describing is called "vote caging".When done by a political party or it`s operatives,it`s illegal.
The republican party has a standing court order against them,to not use "voter caging".Still,those mother fuckers do it,and to great affect.
The 2000 presidential election was decided on as little a thousand votes.
The GOP had "caged" tens of thousands of voters,and threw them off the rolls,illegally.By the time anyone knew what happened,george bush was already "appointed",by just 5 votes,in the supreme court.
If you mentioned this or complained that the election was stolen(which it was),you were call "Gore loser",as in sore loser.
Lucky is lying when he says that military votes were caged.He can`t sight it anywhere,cuz it never happened.

"WASHINGTON — Ohio and Florida, which provided the decisive electoral votes for President Bush's two razor-thin national election triumphs, have enacted laws that election experts say will help Republicans impede Democratic-leaning minorities from voting in 2008.
Backers of the new laws say they're aimed at curbing vote fraud. But the statutes also could facilitate a controversial Republican tactic known as ``vote caging,'' which the GOP attempted in Ohio and Florida in 2004 before public disclosures foiled the efforts, said Joseph Rich, a former Justice Department voting rights chief in the Bush administration who's now with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.
Caging, used in the past to target poor minorities in heavily Democratic precincts, entails sending mass mailings to certain voters and then using the undelivered letters to compile lists of voters for eligibility challenges."
From Wikki,
Monica Goodling (who was 2nd only to Alberto Gonzalez,at the DOJ,btw)cited the existence and concern about "vote caging" in her written and oral testimony to the United States House Judiciary Committee on May 23, 2007, mentioning that Tim Griffin, who was appointed as interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, would have allegations of vote caging arise if ever presented to be confirmed by the Senate to the office, and that the Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty "failed to disclose that he had some knowledge of allegations that Tim Griffin had been involved in vote-caging during his work on the president's 2004 campaign."
This is the 2nd highest ranking member of the Justice Dept.,and she`s fucking admitting to "caging"....WTF!!!!

Although Griffin implied last week that he had to look up the word “caging” after he was accused of it, and he declared again this week that the accusations were “malicious and false,” his emails back to the Republican National Committee in 2004 referred to the “caging” his people were doing. The RNC sent letters to thousands of registered voters in predominantly black precincts of Jacksonville, Fla. — thus Democrats, one would assume — with the notation on the envelope that it should not be forwarded.
So if the voter had moved to a new address, it would not be forwarded to him or her but be returned to the sender. Griffin’s people would go to the voting registrar and have the names stricken from the rolls. When they showed up to vote, they couldn’t. A few were in the military, and if they tried to vote by mail, they didn’t get ballot applications or else their votes were not counted.
Some probably were stricken from the rolls unlawfully. Was it voter intimidation?

They stole the 2000 election,as sure as the sun shines.
This is the reason for the guilt and defensiveness.It`s only natural.
