In Mexico, we carry I.D, with photo, and it must match the I.D photo at the precinct. Once we vote, a hole is punched in the I.D, and a black X...is drawn across our picture which is registered in our precinct. Ballots are put in clear plastic urns, and election watchers all take pictures of empty urns before the ballots are cast, and stay til all ballots are counted..and sent to the State Rep. Actually, it’s pretty well organized, with people from different parties encouraged to watch the process.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Its coming will we answer the call?
How many "homeless" people will be bussed into Ohio to vote, only to return home to PA, IL, or wherever, and vote again?
Who is responsible for this 35 day voting idea, and how do we impeach or vote them out?
I know this is getting air time. I heard Ingraham playing some soundbites and talking about it just this AM. This is a tremendous embarrassment for Ohio. Ohioans are giving up their own votes by allowing migrants to cancel them out.
What an outrage!
And THIS is exactly the kind of thing that will put a Communist Dictator in power. As in the case with Chavez, once you get a thug dictator in power there will be no peaceful way of stopping him. The Supreme Court can do what to stop him? Obama = Chavez-lite, imho, and I hope he is ONLY Chavez-lite. This kind of development is beyond scary to me.
I am angry that we have to have all this high anxiety every four years. Not that we fear we will lose an election, but that the other side has become so vicious in its pursuit of power that it will stop at nothing. Having our country ripped from our hands will not result in a peaceful reply.
CAUSES FOR ALARM: (feel free to add to this list, not in chronological order)
1. The thuggery experienced by Don Adams.
2. The Albert Gore treatment of the vote in Florida in 2000 which was actually backed by the FL Supreme Court and had to be overruled by the SCOTUS.
3. The Obama campaigns interference in Media, PA.
4. Jodie whatsername trying to walk onto the RNC Stage
5. The voter fraud going on right now in Ohio and who knows how many other states, most likely ACORN projects.
6. Florida Sec. of State Harris found 40,000 New Yorkers registered to vote in Florida by comparing voter registration rosters from both States after the 2000 election. They were removed, and should have been prosecuted.
7. RIP American Media, 2008. After fighting a long illness with liberalism, the American Media finally kicked over and died in 2008.
8. In 1996 Connie Chung (CBS co-anchor) coaxed Newt Gingrich's aging mother into saying something bad about Hillary by saying "Just between you and me" and then posted it on national TV. Chung was fired after millions of enraged viewers called their local CBS stations.
9. Dan Rather pushed a forged document in 2000 to discredit Bush. Rather was later fired, and he filed lawsuit against CBS.
10. 1996, Dan Rather called Georgia for Clinton very early in the evening and declared Doles chances were very slim, which must have affected conservative voter turnout in all of the remaining states. It took several hours for CBS to correct this error, but the damage was done.
11. Major networks called Florida for Gore in 2000 a few hours before the polls in the Florida panhandle had even closed. Much of the conservative vote is found in the panhandle area. The low final turnout of the panhandle vote can be understood... they had been told on national TV that Bush had lost Florida. It was over, so why vote after work?
12. Slanted Polls Used as Propaganda for Conservative Voter Suppression. It was the 1996 Election that convinced lawmakers to push through regulations for pollsters. The possibility of crooked, slanted polls to affect an election was never more clear than in 1996, when only 2 polls out of more than a dozen were even within their margins of error.
Some of them exceeded their margins of error by double digits (as I recall.) For at least eight months, polls showed Senator Bob Dole trailing Pres. Clinton by double digits. The worst was CBS Poll, which showed him losing by as much as 28%, and PEW Inst. and a few others were way out there. Only Zogby and Battleground were anywhere close to the actual result. Legislation required pollsters for the first time to report demographics (to detect slant) and stop using caller lists. (Get a list of 900 liberals, and call it over and over again for predictable results.)
I think in OH, felons get 3 votes.
We would be singing that Obama is going to change it, rearange it song those kids did within a year.
Yet ;-)
This is the crew that gave us 16 years of George Voinovich and Bob Taft.
(And Voinovich still sheds his tears while voting with the 'Rats in the Senate.)
Excellent point … LOL! ;-)
Drop the pretenses, the civil war has already begun.
This was on Fox earlier this evening.
I see no evidence whatsoever of fraud,
Bums are allowed to vote.
Faith Vote calls itself non-partisan. I'm still looking to see if it has tax-exempt status. If so, then there's a problem. They are affiliated with a number of inner city churches, so I think there's a chance the IRS may have some oversight.
Felons are not allowed the right to vote in Ohio. And as far as I know it is agaisnt federal law to go out to registered voters and proclaim that you are only registering votes from one party as this person states. She should be found and procecuted for her statement. She how she realizes what she should’ve never said!
Bookmarked.
WHAT? When did the law change in Ohio?
Not even close, stuck on stupid is more like it. Me thinks an IQ test should be required before voting.
The more dumbasses are allowed to vote the more dumbasses we get in the House, thus ensuring the dumbing down of our Country and the demise of our society as a whole!
I move for a voting vetting, were by, one has to prove a certain amount of political knowledge(the make of the US House, number of members, the function of the Executive Branch, you know things one should be teached in the 4th grade.
I am loosing my patience, when I see my vote cancelled out by a drunken moron!
itsPatAmerican you are correct. I sat in an Ohio courtroom while someone I know was sentenced. The judge told him his voting rights would be restored as soon as he finished serving his sentence.
He (the felon) will be voting for McCain/Palin on Nov. 4. He has also talked with 2 friends and has persuaded them to register and vote for Palin.
Voter fraud only works when the election is close....this election isnt going to be close. McCain will win in a landslide. People pay to much attention to the media and these so called polls. White blue collar Americans are not going to vote for Obama regardless of what the media says and you cant win a presidential election without them. I can just hear some people saying...”OH YEAH, what fortune cookie did you get that out of”. I am a member of a union that votes dem EVERY election. I attended a union meeting last week and the rank and file were not going to vote for Obama under any circumstance. They dont like him, they dont trust him, they believe hes a racist. If these blue collar white union guys feel this way Im pretty sure other union folk feel the same way, though they may not admit it. These are people that normally vote Dem regardless of any reasoning. Obama will loose big time.
