Pro-Dope Students Duped into Registering Republican

Actually, my headline is a slightly sensationalistic. Indiana University of Pennsylvania students thought that they were signing a petition in support of legalizing marijuana for medical use, but the documents were actually used by duplicitous Republicans (sadly, these days it seems as though the 'duplicitous' tag almost goes without saying for most GOP politicos) to register them as Republicans. As this article from The Indiana Gazette reports, the party-registration issue should not matter in the November 2 election; however, it could be an issue in the next primary election. It's going to be an ugly election day this year, I think, as the GOP appears to be going to great lengths to disenfranchise voters inclined to vote for John Kerry.
