THis disgusts me. Programmers can write code that can measure the temperature of a nuclear reaction within a thousandth of a degree, or can aim an intercontinental ballistic missile and guide it within three meters of its target, or can keep up with each and every transaction on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
Heaven forbid we can't get someone to write code to tally votes in an efficient manner with 100% integrity on a tool we're all familiar with.
He who laughs last, laughs best.
I suppose it's as funny as hanging chads and butterfly ballots.
Hey, I'm all for going back to the No. 2 pencil and a Big Chief Tablet. Surely it can't take a precinct team that long to manually count handwritten votes. At least we'd be required to know the candidates and the issues before we entered the voting booth.
First, there are plenty of things to laugh at about elections in this country anymore...not the least of which is Democrats who think ANYTHING is going to change in Washington if there is a change in leadership at either or both houses of Congress today!
The most significant result of the Democrats grabbing Congress today? Something for the next Republican presidential candidate to run AGAINST; otherwise he ain't got nothin.
I filled out a paper ballot with little bubbles to fill in. (Hope I didn't vote for Buchanan).
NBADan = Sheeple
...
This is how dead people, incarcerated felons, illegal aliens, and terrorists are able to vote so I can see why Nbadan would be defending the idea that you shouldn't be required to validate your voter registration with a photo ID.
Perhaps the Poll Worker wanted to validate they belonged to the voter registration cards.
Because those are the options we're limited to..
I'm no real fan of Democrats myself, but you're kidding yourself if a congress controlled by Democrats isn't going to do a few things differently. Although, I've never been against government gridlock. If anything, maybe they can rebalance the budget.
Partisan bull aside, but why would asking someone to confirm they are who the card says they are suppression?
Unfortunately, you can't answer that question without partisan bull . Because, it isn't "suppression" unless there's a reason the person shouldn't be voting in the first place.
Democrats represent a large portion of the country that wouldn't have a photo ID such as poor or under educated minority voters. The elderly as well. Thats why they have an issue with it.
That being said, I don't think its unreasonable to expect someone to be able to prove who they are in some manner at the polls.
Or unless they don't posses a photo ID?
Oh please. Take your goddamn grandmother to DPS and get her a ing ID card. While you're at it take your poor, undereducated, minority neighbors too.
, Democrats pick up winos and lure them to the polls on election day with booze and cigarettes. Why can't they do the same, year 'round, and take them to the local DPS office?
And, just how would you propose they do that without a valid photo ID? Poll tests are consitutionally prohibited...in case you forgot.
There is absolutely no reason every eligible voter in the country shouldn't have a valid photo ID. Period.
Because my card SPECIFICALLY says I don't have to, that's why.
If I had taken the card at its word, I might not have gone to the polls with any other ID.
That being said, if you don't get the satire from my original post, well, nevermind.
You're an idiot. I never took issue with asking for a photo ID. Notice the word THEY. You do know how thats used, yes?
What if they don't want one?
Then they don't want to vote that badly.
Again, how would you propose we cut down on the dead and other ineligible voters?
Ok, I am going to officially call it right now. Harold Ford by a full 1 percentage point. I have two reasons that don't have anything to do with major news stories that you would hear in Texas, but probably give a better feel from somebody who is right here in the heart of the race.
My two reasons are:
1. Conservatives in East Tennessee, the Republican strong-hold, despire Corker more than any candidate for any office from their party that I can remember in a long time. My step-dad, someone who listens to Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage every single day, did not cast his vote for Bob Corker.
2. From 8 this morning until now it has been pouring the rain and 40 degrees in the majority of East Tennessee. In West Tennessee it has been sunny and beautiful all day. More voters will come hit the polls in that section of the state, giving Ford an advantage.
Because of these, and other reasons, I am calling Harold Ford Jr. the new Senator from Tennessee. Ugh..I just hope I am right in that he is the lesser of two horrible evils.
I did get the sarcasm in your post 101, and it was nicely played.
But if you would having taken care to read who I quoted when asking my question, instead of flying off at the handle at me due to the egregious humiliation and persecution you were subjected to by a ne’er-do-well attempting to pervert the election system, you would have noticed that I was not questioning you.
Proper voter registration.
Bad weather can play a huge role, but the polls are still open for quite some time in that state. I wonder if any exit poll numbers have been leaked to the blogosphere.
Fraud isn't a huge problem.
Whining about fraud is how the Repugs scare away the blacks and other poor.
Repug dirty tricks are THE big problem.
I've yet to go cast my vote. There are quite a few libertarian's on my ballot, however.
Other than that post about 20 up from the one I'm quoting...
