I like your ideas... I'm also sending a letter to the MO Secy of State asking them to invalidate EVERY MO voter registration, forcing every MO voter to re-register. Given the fact that there are more than 10,000 dead people on the voter roles in MO, and that more than 40,000 suspect voter registrations were found, partly due to ACORN, there's no way to know who is and isn't a legal voter.

And if I can add one more thing to your list. I think that Iraq has the right idea... You need to be marked to only allow a person to vote one time, like ink on the right index finger. And have police stationed to disallow anyone with the inkstain from entering the building. Of course the same people who opposed showing ID when you vote will oppose this... So, if an amputee doesn't have a right index finger, use a different finger on the same hand, If he's missing his hand, use the left index finger. If he's a double amputee, mark his nose...

Newt Gingrich said it best last night. He said that somewhere along the way, the Republicans started playing "not to lose" rather than to win.

[LurkedLongEnough]

I don't disagree with the overall feeling of outrage over any voting disenfranchisement.

However...in this country in general, we need fewer laws, not more.

If we have to put all these rules on voting, especially at local levels as in voting, then we may as well pack it in as a country.

The only way we're gonna get your suggested reforms is if people adopt some common decency and respect.

Otherwise you're talking a Robocop force of national proportions.

Haven't heard anything further on the woman caught with the unauthorized key to the ballot box room where she was caught making copies for the democrat candidate.

In what state did this occur?

[RKM]

The Feds were supposed to take care of this after the Florida 2000 fiasco. The fact that they haven't is telling.

[NapkinUser]

Busted.

State was Indiana and if I'm not mistaken, it was in the southern district (bloomington) where Sodrel and Baron Hill were fighting it out....Hill won by a narrow margin....

Type in "repository" in keyword search. After you've read a dozen or more threads there let me know what you think.

Marion County, Indiana is home of Indiana Wesleyan University. It's a conservative Christian place of learning: conservative professors, ministerial students, pre-missionaries, etc. Of course some of the students vote absentee in their home states, but many don't.

Wonder where the ballot boxes are missing from...

[Dead Corpse]

These are 11 reforms I want now. Right the f%$k now, to be more precise. I guarantee they would be immensely popular. I'm sure I can come up with more if given time.

And they'd work too... which is why neither political party will want to impose these limits on themselves.

On to Box #4....

[TNdandelion]

LOL Funny how that works.

Funner dipping won't work in the US. Most voter fraud is accomplished through absentee ballots. Folks are too tired/ don't know the procedures/ don't care, to fill out the stack of paper work that would be required to question the ballots.
Fortunately our county is small and the County Clerk's office checks over each ballot in great detail. Those without signatures, etc are noted and brought to the attentions of the precinct Inspector.

If any of you get a chance check out the new state voter registry computer system being used. It is fabulous! Type in an address and it lists all the legal, registered voters living at the address. ( Our clerk told me their office had mistyped an address. They immediately got a call from the state alerting them that there was a problem)

It finds people in your county, in the state, where they are registered and what precinct they are assigned to vote. My understanding that in the future it may also be connected with the office that issues death certificates...... Technology can be wonderful. It may be the secret to cutting out most of the fraud in future election.

How many votes are in 66 voting machines? Enough for Dickerson to make up a 9,000-vote deficit? I assume that if most of these precincts are in the Marion County suburbs that the answer is "yes."

[TNdandelion]

Correction. Punishing AMERICANS because disgruntled Republicans couldn't figure out a better way to clue in their GOP Congressmen/women.

The CongressCritters won't be harmed nearly as much as their fellow voters.

Apparently, they've chosen to eat worms until 2008. And the best news is they've got all the Heinz-Kerry ketchup they could smother them with! Yum!

[hoosiermama]

FUNNER? DUH! That should be "finger"! And I even used spell check......

[Comico Atómico]

Send me $10.00 and I'll get right on it.

[Earthdweller]

Sixty-six machines???!!! That is a massive fraud if they are really "missing".

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

WHEN do we stand up and say ENOUGH of these massive disenfranchisements?

In my opinion, there can be only "1" reason for the obvious REFUSAL to put an end to this insidious behavior. And that is a fear that the dirty deeds of the accuser will be exposed...

[hoosiermama]

If they are like out machines. The tapes with the totals are sent in to the Clerk's office accompanied by a suitcase type of machinery that is actually the brains, and the bundle of actual votes. The shell of the machine is left in the precinct, but the votes are NOT.

RE the handy cap machines. They automatically turn off at 6:00 pm. Can only be used if a disc is inserted. That disc must be in possession of either the Inspector or a Judge all day and MUST be turned in with the election results.......The machine may not have been returned but is non-operable without the disc.

ALL machines print a tape at the end of the day, which accompanies the Inspector and the Judge of the opposite party to the clerk's office....There is much accompanying paper work signed by all poll workers to verify the voting results. I imagine that has been done in meticulous details. It is the actual vote.

Missing machines does NOT equal missing votes.

Gee, I wonder why posters from other states didn't think to ask one of you from Indiana?
