Groups Work on 30M Unregistered Christian Voters Prior to Election Day Read
Christian Post
With about five weeks to go before the Nov. 6 presidential election, several groups are working tirelessly to register what some believe are upwards of 30 million Christians that are not yet signed up to cast their ballot.
The staggering number of unregistered Christian votes comes from an organization called Champion The Vote, a non-partisan, non-profit organization whose mission is to actively advance the traditional values of America's founding fathers.

Obama Bounce Erased: Romney Leads Obama 48-45 in New Poll
LifeNews.com
A new national Rasmussen Reports poll shows the bounce pro-abortion President Barack Obama received following the Democratic national convention has been erased and challenger Mitt Romney now leads 48-45 percent.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Romney attracting the support of 48 percent of Americans, compared with 45 percent who back the president. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. Last week, pollster Scott Rasmussen anticipated this fade by noting that the conventions would have no lasting impact on the race.

‘We Don’t Have Any’ Problem of Illegal Immigrants Voting in U.S., Dem Congressmen Say
CNS News
Two congressional Democrats who oppose tougher voter ID and voter registration laws told CNSNews.com that such laws are not needed because, they claim, documented voter fraud by illegal aliens is nonexistent.
At a discussion panel on voter identification (ID) laws held at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 17, CNSNews.com asked Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.): “What should be done in regards to illegal immigrants voting?”
Lewis replied, “I don’t know of any. I don’t know of any case in any -- in Georgia, in Alabama, in North Carolina, Mississippi or any parts of America -- that some illegal person, some person who’s not a citizen had cast a vote and I just think that’s a lot of say-and-do about nothing. That’s not happening.

Sale of Philadelphia newspapers raises bias concerns
The Washington Times
Philadelphia’s two daily newspapers have long been accused of liberal bias, but critics say a group of potential buyers led by former Gov. Ed Rendell would turn the papers into mere mouthpieces of the Democratic Party in a 2012 swing state.
Mr. Rendell, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is teaming with George Norcross, the Democratic Party boss of southern New Jersey, and others in an effort to purchase the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Daily News and the company’s website, philly.com.

Obama Campaign Launches 'Truth Teams'
ABC News
The Obama campaign is today beginning a new effort to enlist and educate at least 2 million supporters for a "grassroots communications team" they're calling the Truth Team.
"The goal is to ensure that when Republicans attack President Obama's record, grassroots supporters can take ownership of the campaign and share the facts with the undecided voters in their lives," the campaign said in a statement.
The teams will be first launched in 13 "swing states," including Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.

Voter Fraud Is Major Election Threat Based on Recent Cases, Analyst Says
CNS News
Even as one election-fraud case in Lincoln County, W. Va., comes to a close, another case in Troy, N.Y., continues.Still, Attorney General Eric Holder asserts that voter fraud is “uncommon,” in defending the Justice Department’s lawsuit to stamp out voter ID laws in South Carolina and potentially other states.
Election fraud is a greater threat to the right to vote than poll taxes and other Jim Crow restrictions, said Horace Cooper, adjunct fellow with National Center for Public Policy Research.

Gingrich delivers show-stopper at beginning of South Carolina debate
CNN
The four remaining GOP candidates played to their individual strengths on Thursday and tried to leave a lasting impression in a final, boisterous debate two days before South Carolina's pivotal primary. In a campaign cycle where debates have had direct consequences on the ebb and flow of the race, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich turned his contempt for the media into one of his strongest performances yet. When CNN Chief National Correspondent John King opened the debate with a question about open marriage, following an interview by Gingrich's ex-wife saying that he had sought one, the Republican chastised him.

Faith leaders choosing up sides
OneNewsNow
Several prominent Christian leaders from across the country have signed on to lead the official "pastors and leaders faith coalition" for one of the GOP presidential hopefuls. The group was introduced during a recent nationwide conference call.
Over the weekend, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum received a boost from a gathering of evangelical and social conservatives. Associated Press reports that the more than 100 religious and social conservatives meeting on a Texas ranch supported Santorum over Newt Gingrich by a more than three-to-one margin -- although Gingrich supporter J.C. Watts, who was at that meeting, has described the report of those results as "totally misrepresenting" of what actually occurred.
