I'm saying it was a silly, unspecific, election eve post. If you can't find a link to last night's news that you watched and is obviously important to you, I can't help.


You want to come try to kick my ass for calling you a liar, send me a PM and split the cab fare with RichC! and a couple others--I have plenty of room and spare time.


BLACK PANTHERS KEEPING WHITEY FROM VOTING!

(see what I mean)

A little OT (sort of) but I am amazed that here in CA when you go in to vote you don't even have to show an ID! Talk about the possibility of fraud! I asked the worker about it and she just smiled and said "take it up with your congressman".

In most places I am aware of, you only have to show ID if you vote affidavit; ie your name doesn't appear on the roles.

You left off the part about fliers distributed telling democrats that due to overcrowding, they would be voting on Wednesday. I haven't seen the fliers but I'm guessing those are more solid proof of shenanigans than allegations of phone calls.

Jerks abound in this country. About all we can hope for is that they only comprise a small minority of the population.

No ID in NY.

They have a sig from your registration document. They compare it to the sig you give the day of the election. Concluding that these individuals have any capability of discerning a difference would be a stretch.

All voters here must present a picture ID that has a signature, at the polling place where your name appears on the list of registered voters in the precinct.

In some oldtimey boroughs, they would refer to this joke as A CORN.

If you want to discuss this, I have plenty of life-long Democrat relatives (and a summer home) in the Hampton Roads area. It is overblown BS. See the article in the Virginia Pilot, breaking the story from which dculkin's groups comments were extrapolated.

Hope NY budgeted for post-election litigation. Never voted there.

Wow, another place I've never voted has a polar-opposite system.

Same here. I like it.

If you think you were excluded you can challenge the system by voting and submitting an affidavit which the registrar checks against his rolls.

I wish it were that way here, but the NAACP sued and won.

The stuff I present is overblown BS but a few unsubstantiated calls are gold coin?

And going to the wrong polling place is going to stop someone from voting? I got my polling place address mailed to me about 3 times.

Here in CA they ask you to recite your home address, that's all. When you register they don't ask for an ID either, just an address.
