Your take?

My take is that an individual who wants to stuff ballot boxes by walking into polling places and fraudulently marking ballots could possibly falsify two or three votes -- thereby achieving exactly nothing.

If someone was truly ambitious they'd start an electronic voting machine company and get a near-monopoly contract for the nation. That's going to be a lot more effective.

I sure hope nobody thinks of THAT idea!

Yeah. And they'd prolly make some kind of access card that is real easy to copy.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Can someone tell me (without snide comments) why voter ID's are a bad thing? I mean one person, one vote should not be a crazy idea, and only US citizens should be allowed to vote right? Is it really that hard for a legal citizen that is registered to vote show an ID?

"Democrats say the threat is overstated and have opposed voter identification laws, which they say disenfranchise the poor, members of minority groups and the elderly, who are less likely to have photo IDs and are more likely to be Democrats."

I agree. All it takes is a driver's license or passport, etc. Before somebody screams about a poor person that doesn't drive, most, if not all states have non-driver State-IDs.

The issue then is to ensure that the state can properly handle and set up proper security measures to prevent fraudulent creation of IDs. Virginia has proven they still can't handle that.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I do not understand the resistance either

Oh, come on now, the resistance from dems is because they know that voter fraud benefits them overall. If the dems thought that Repub supporters were committing more voter fraud, then their worries about the potential violations of privacy and such would not concern them at all.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Then combine 'motor voter' laws (registering people to vote when they get their DL) and it gets even worse... didn't Cali have some sort of referendum a few years back about giving DLs to illegals?
