This applied even if you had worked out a deal with your mortgage company and you were still living in your home.  If you no longer reside in your home, you must re-register to vote.  This makes sense but many people are not aware of this issue.  Here in Ohio voters are being purged due to foreclosure.  If you can&#039;t find the articles here, you can find them on dkos.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was an article posted here about a county in Michigan which was predominantly black and if your name appeared on the foreclosure list, Repubs would not allow you to vote.
