Associated Press ^ | June 16, 2010 | Jim Fitzgerald

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. – Arthur Furano voted early — five days before Election Day. And he voted often, flipping the lever six times for his favorite candidate. Furano cast multiple votes on the instructions of a federal judge and the U.S. Department of Justice as part of a new election system crafted to help boost Hispanic representation.

Someone please explain to my why I shouldn't commit myself to a mental institution after reading this. Whatever happened to one man one vote?

The real problem is obviously white-racism.

The solution is simple.

White people should not be allowed to vote.

Although the reason is really stupid, voting schemes like this are not new. Think of it as fractional voting, where you can spread your vote by one/sixth increments. You can either give parts to different candidates or all to one.

Again, the racial reason for doing this is absurd, but different voting schemes are not without precedent in the US. I seem to remember that Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania did something like this historically.

Our Overlords have decided that our electoral system needs to be deformed and twisted until it produces the results that they want. Shades of Lani Guinier, one of Clinton's rejected nominees. From Wiki, and this is why she had to withdraw; interesting that it is now being imposed in New York:

"Guinier's theories were first presented in law-school publications. They were also aired in part with her 1994 publication, The Tyranny of the Majority. In this work and others, Guinier suggests various ideas to strengthen minority groups' voting power, and rectify what is, according to her, an unfair voting system.... Some of the ideas she considers are:

Cumulative voting, a system in which each voter has "the same number of votes as there are seats or options to vote for, and they can then distribute their votes in any combination to reflect their preferences"--a system often used on corporate boards in 30 states, as well as by school boards and county commissions.

Multi-member "superdistricts" is another strategy which "modifies winner-take-all majority rule to require that something more than a bare majority of voters must approve or concur before action is taken."

everyone gets six votes.
you can vote once for six candidates, or six times for one candidate.
it sounds strange but not unfair.

“Whatever happened to one man one vote?”

It didn’t produce the correct result. We have moved beyond the reactionary concept of equal opportunity and now seek social justice by embracing the progressive requirement for equal outcomes.

I have to admit my ignorance on the subject, but I've never heard of anything like this before. If we are going to allow multiple voting, why bother? Just let the courts appoint based on the percentage of persons living in a given voting area based on their ethnicity? We could save a whole bunch of money. Nope. This one makes my stomach turn.

But when coupled with preferential treatment for a particular racial group, it is unjust and truly illegal.

I understand that the search function on this site is really poor, but seriously - this article was posted three of four times already.

No problem - and sorry if my post came across as snarky.

I replied to my post with three of the other already posted links, if you care to browse.

When I’m trying to search for previously posted articles, I usually skip this site’s search box and go right to Google. You enter the phrase/key words you are looking for, and then site:freerepublic.com, and it searches only within that domain.

For clarity, everyone in the city gets six votes, not just the hispanics. Everyone gets one vote, but they are voting with six points with which they can allocate across any of the candidates.

I am sure that the logic is that this will allow some candidates to get votes who would not have otherwise. However, I don’t think that this will really matter. The reason that no hispanic has been elected is because the community has a very large portion of illegal aliens who cannot vote.

I think you are missing the BIG picture.

Democrats and voter fraud are synonomous. They have no sense of honor, code of ethics or moral compass - to them winning is everything.

So, if each man gets 6 votes, and we know from history that fewer than 30% of the people bother to vote; you can legitimately steal 5 out of 6 votes from 70% of the population - and go undetected. Why? Because there is 1 remaining ‘vote’ per person - the 70% will be considered non-voting; yet the total number of votes will overwhelmingly go to the Democratic party candidate.

So, the dead won’t be flagged for voting once, because they will only cast 5/6th of a vote for the Democratic party candidate.

Why else would the Democrats want this? There is NO LEGITIMATE reason to do this.

My God, you are so radical. Perhaps we should eliminate White voters, and those who are not white that have jobs and pay taxes.

In the end, we will have government workers and those who receive government subsidies. They are the ones who GET the money from us. Shouldnt they be the ones to decide where it goes.

Its only fair.

(Sarcasm in case someone misses it....)
