    loaded term

    <<In the final days leading up to the election, almost a thousand people in Summit County, Ohio received subpoenas requiring them to go down to court to prove they lived where they said they lived on their registration card in order to vote.>>

    No, no one was "subpoenaed." (Nice use of that loaded legal term.) All you had to do was respond to the mailing to prove that the registered address was real. This is a perfectly legal remedy to rampant voter fraud of phantom voters from nonexistent addresses--a particular specialty of Democrats, by the way.

    My mom grew up in Chicago but hasn't lived there since 1960. She says she has no doubt that she has still "voted" in every election since.
