I don't want the government regulating anything more in our lives, but I think when election time comes around(especially presidential), if you wanna vote, you should get a license. All you would have to do is go in a month before time and take a simple 20 question test(of course there would have to be at least 1000 versions). And then they give you a little card that you have to compare to a pic ID when you go to vote. I am so tired of people uninformed people voting. I am not racist, but this last election, Obama got many votes, just because he was black. And if you ask those people they couldn't tell you one thing he stood for. Just curious other peoples opinions.

Do you have proof of this, or are you just making stuff up?

How do you know who is informed and who isn't? Were you stood interrogating them at the balloting station?

Are you asking for proof that the OP isn't racist or proof that there are people that voted for Obama because he's Black?

BY the people, for the people. If they're capable of getting a voter registration card and capable to cast a ballot, then their vote is just as valid as yours. You don't have to be smart to vote. Just old enough.

By the way, it wasn't only the black vote that helped Obama win, it was the young voters mainly that handed him the win. Oh, and this 55 year old (fairly intelligent) voter's vote too.

Many news broadcasts, showed multiple blacks(not sure what term is inoffensive) saying that they wanted Obama in because he was black. Anyone see Jay-Z's performance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkGJS02_Zbc

If you try and debate with anyone(whites or blacks), they cant give you an informed opinion.

Wasn't there a substantial increase in voter registration this last election ? There was Americans of all ages and all skin color that had never voted before that registered because they wanted to make their vote count some to keep him out of the office and some to put him in the office?

around 90% of blacks typically vote for democrats. around 90% of blacks voted for Obama, who's a democrat. I don't see any major conspiracy here.

I wonder how many white voted for McCain because he's white.

You have to understand how the media put 'spin' on news stories.

I'm not saying no black person voted for Obama because he is black, I have no doubt that they did, But I don't believe that everyone did.

No.
"PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup finds 13% of registered voters saying they will vote for president for the first time in 2008. That matches the figure Gallup found in its final 2004 pre-election poll"
