White House wants to manipulate the vote

@Willi Said

i was told our daughter needed a state id after 18.
we got one.
your link says she doesn't.
when i went to vote, they ask for id.

the book talks about voting scams that ran in the early 1900s.

@Willi Said

those registered, but didn't vote.
those names could be used, and who would know?

@Willi Said

This comes from the book I mentioned. A hundred people going to all the polling places. I go up to a person, they tell me what name to say. I sign that name and I go vote. Now I can go somewhere else and vote again. Anywhere I know there's a special person that will give me a name that I can use, and if I'm really bold I can go back to the same voting place and hope no one honest catches on. Does it happen? Did it happen in the past? If it didn't happen in the past, why was it portrayed in the book like it was true?

@Willi Said

why is it hard for poor folks to get an id?

@Demented Said

It never ceases to amaze me how "WE" the voters always seem to vote in people "WE" think are smart enough,but once in there they turn into complete idiots and come up with the most hair brained ideas??.

@Spinkiegirl Said

I kinda have to agree with some of that! No, on second thought, most of what you say here.

@hoppy Said

In Obama's case, he was smart enough to get idiots to vote him in.

@BozieFozie Said

This is so far from the truth I want to hurl. The choice, almost 4 years ago, between re-electing Bush and voting in Obama was really a no-brainer. If it was the lesser of two evils, so be it. I don't see it that way. I am no idiot, and I resent being called so because I voted for President Obama. I will again in a few months, unless something catastrophic occurs. The people who are in my world who voted for the President are no idiots either. I'm tired of Republicans calling us so out of their OWN fear and ignorance.

Why spend time and money on all this bureaucracy when the existence of people voting using someone else's name is slim to none? That's not an efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

@Reviso Said

In Canada we voted for each other's districts, each with his right name but in the other riding by specially privately organized means (the computer does it though it can't guarantee privacy for the two users). Now, that's the people manipulating the vote at each other. The white house can make it simple; you can be anywhere in the country for your vote for the chosen jurisdiction. That is christian and justified by the honest wish of representing your beliefs with your fellow citizens.

I thought I asked you nicely NOT to call me names Hoppy? I don't call you anything except Hoppy......I deserve the same respect don't you think?

@hoppy Said

I didn't vote for Obama so you can't call me an idiot.
