How about the republican measure to cut early voting in Wisconsin, where they have excellent voter turnout... maybe too good for some people's taste...;)

That is indeed a problem. I've always looked at my right to vote being sort of like I'm being given this very valuable coupon that I can only spend for exercising my freedom to vote. The coupon is no good anywhere else, so why waste it.

At the same time I would like to see people study and learn about the issues and candidates before they vote, but everyone has the right to vote whether they know anything or not. I like to see EVERYONE vote. Even if they all vote opposite to myself. I want to see everyone who is honestly qualified to do so, cast their vote. Our country is nothing without an honest and legitimate election process.

I would like to know more about that. Early voting is one of the few tools we have to encourage people to vote. Taking it away in areas where it is provided is insanity IMHO.

West and North Philly = 94 percent black resident population, SEVEN white residents according to the 2010 census. Only 12 registered Republicans in that division, NONE of whom voted for Romney or answered an inquiry carried out by the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Yeah, there's a CONSPIRACY for ya!:rolleyes:
Obama vote totals exceeded 97% with a 60% turnout I think it was.....

I'll bet a corporation has to identify itself in all transactions involving the government. Am I wrong?

I've been the victim of a DNC misinformation campaign by high ranking Democrats...........my apologies.

Moral and ethical people would not oppose such measures.
How does excluding people with the right to vote promote the legitimacy of elections?

How does allowing people to vote with no proof of eligibility promote legitimate elections?

Botnst 03-30-2014 05:34 PM
