BTW the Freepers are saying that they really aren’t going to use Foreclosure lists to challenge people, only lists of qualified voters that they have compiled…but this is a bit disingenuous. Those lists will be compiled by getting a foreclosure list, sending a letter to the address, and if it is returned challenging that voter at the polls.
