Before I go on, I should make it clear I'm not trying to be argumentative here. You didn't give me any reason to have to state that, but I do want you to know.

I think you’ll have to convince me that it would be any more difficult than voting as an alien. In either case, you give a name which may or may not be yours, an address at which you may or may not reside, and present documents that may or may not be real or (in jurisdictions that allow it) have some registered voter whose registration may or may not be legal vouch for you.

Let's address the situaiton as if a state does not require a photo I. D. That way we can aleviate the problem with documents or verification. If you think we need to address that too, just respond with that opinion and we will.

For years I was rather concerned about people claiming to be someone else, from some other address, and voting in their stead. Then I thought how would I go about doing that. I'm not sure it would be that easy.

You have to know someone who is registered who will not be voting. You need to know where they lived. You need to know where their precinct polling station is. I don't know one person that I could game to use their personal information to vote like this.

Explain to me the process that you see someone following to carry out this type of voting, once or even multiple times.

It helps if it’s part of a large, organized effort to flood polls with more same-day registrants than workers can process with due attention.

Well, there's your problem IMO. I don't believe in voting prior to the main day. I don't believe in a person being able to register the same day.

Anyone wishing to vote should go through the same process everyone else did, and that process should cut off registration long enough prior to voting day, so that the person is fully registered and their voting pamplet can be deliverd a couple weeks before the election.

The Left makes a big deal out of being magnanimous so that more people can vote, but the real goal is to corrupt the election process. We should refuse to allow it.

There have been reports of multiple, unrelated people registered at the same address, including warehouses or other non-residential addresses. They don’t actually need to be voting in the stead of an actual, living person. Hence, the mass-registration drives by ACORN and successor or similar groups.

You’re right that it would be difficult for some individual to carry out on a whim, but that isn’t what we’re concerned about. You’re also right that ending same-day registration would reduce the problem, but the registration drives conducted by leftist front groups are about corrupting even the pre-registration process.
