Anyway, there is no measurable voter fraud in this country. That's a verifiable fact. I'm convinced that certain politicians ARE attempting to keep a certain segment of the population from voting. It's easy to say everyone should have voter ID, but it doesn't stop there. Many of the states enacting these measures are also doing away with student photo IDs, preregistration and early voting. Everyone knows that in the South many folks, particularly the elderly, don't drive but climb into buses after Sunday service to vote. Is it a coincidence that these voting restrictions mostly impact those voting for Democrats. It's not a coincidence at all. stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-24193284892933087752013-08-31T16:52:56.170-04:002013-08-31T16:52:56.170-04:00I am so naive sometimes.

So had to Google "Clinton BJ". Good ol' Google...never fails. :)<br /><br />But before I got to that, after reading Clinton's quote, I thought, "What a perfect sentence; packed with a minimal amount of meaningful and very thought provoking words."<br /><br />They didn't call him Slick Willie for nothing. :) Sorry, couldn't help it.<br /><br />Actually, I highly respect his intellect, though that doesn't mean I always agree with him.<br /><br />Your stats...interesting. I've heard some of them. When I think of my middleclass self, I totally agree, but when I try to put myself into the shoes of someone who lacks education and/or youth...I don't know. I've known people who are intimidated by everything current, i.e. debit cards, computers, etc. Recently, one of my older relaltives did not want to call into the family conference call (dialing 10 numbers and listening). We suspect fear. I wonder how some people feel knowing that they have to go behind a curtain "all by themselves" and push those scary buttons or fill in those scary dots. <br />Did I go off topic? :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-33216630990598922812013-08-31T15:44:25.087-04:002013-08-31T15:44:25.087-04:00Due to a recent Supreme Court ruling, it is, unfor...Due to a recent Supreme Court ruling, it is, unfortunately, not as quick and easy as you describe in a growing number of locations, Crank.Craig B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16156248867720945719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-16489582692869558112013-08-31T13:57:09.613-04:002013-08-31T13:57:09.613-04:00Here's a comment I don't make very often--...Here's a comment I don't make very often--YOU'RE RIGHT, JOE!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-87810057415984765792013-08-31T10:36:56.084-04:002013-08-31T10:36:56.084-04:00I hate to disagree with Carolyn, but you are right...I hate to disagree with Carolyn, but you are right on this one.

It can be very easy to get state ID's in the hands of every elegible voter, so that's not an excuse. And computers can run a background check on me when I buy a gun while I wait, so it shouldn't be a problem to validate voter eligibility. I think it's just a matter of the Democrats and Republicans disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. Hell, they'd argue with a STOP sign if they thought it was put there by the other party.<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-58989982674641938342013-08-31T09:18:05.621-04:002013-08-31T09:18:05.621-04:00Can you direct me to data that shows we have voter...Can you direct me to data that shows we have voter fraud in numbers of some significance?

I agree with every one of your points. I didn't know you didn't have to show ID to register to vote. Here in Australia voting is compulsory and I believe it's good that way because we always look at the low voter turnouts in the US in comparison. And whenever it's suggested here that voting shouldn't be compulsory, that suggestion always comes from the right!Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.com
