Welcome to FReepers where we do not always agree with each other, but hopefully welcome diverse opinions that force us to reason why we believe the way we do. No offense intended, but we are not sheeple, who vote like we are told by leaders who profess to 'have our best interests at heart' -- for the sole purpose of keeping themselves in power.

While I can't help you with voting laws -- except to say that felons and dead people shouldn't have their votes counted -- I do think that every precinct should develop a method of setting aside questionable votes for further investigation. This would allow the votes of those whose names were erroneously dropped from the lists, to eventually be counted.

I agree with you about setting aside votes, figuring out some way to put them "in escrow". This would make sure that people get their voice heard.
I'm very glad about the not-being-sheeple stuff, and thanks for the welcome to FR. The reason I'm here is because I'm trying to figure out some things that have always baffled me about conservative politics. Seems like a lot of the positions I have seen that don't make sense to me have to do more with solidarity than with principle, so trying to pierce the veil. (Um, that's liberal positions as well as conservative positions, by the way ;)
