Yippy, its started !!!

Sure, If you stole the county letter that gives me the precinct I am to vote in.

So now theft is the only way Romney will win ??

Just like Dubbya, sounds like the only way Republicans can win is if they steal the election.

Will this year be the same ?

Where are you that you need a note from mommy to vote? In every other place I've lived, that letter is simply a verification of address (it's not forwardable). *ID* is needed to vote.

Romney is a Democrat?

Idiot.

No, Obama is going down.

Solves the contractor vs statutory employee issue.

I can't hire smokers, since my insurance won't cover them. So they must be contractors*.

So you are saying that the county knows who you are by your address.

You are also saying that the county can verify you by your address and gives you a letter that can allow you to vote.

So, who needs to have a government ID if the county has already done that work ?

You're too stupid to be able to vote.

You really are stupid, aren't you? They already know your address is valid because they didn't get the post card returned (it is *not* forwardable). They know *who* you are, if they care [*], by your government-issued picture ID (which also has your address on it).

Good, Lord. I though DimBulb was dim.

Idiot. Anyone can show up and claim to be you, just as whats-his-name did with Eric Holder a couple of years back (but didn't vote illegally - he's not a Democrat).

Unbelievable.

place

Unfortunately, he's not. 47% of the population isn't any smarter.

Your neighbor on the South side told me where they vote don't you vote at the same place? Mikek

It is starting to look close! That's why the conservatives are trying to prevent voter fraud. We don't want dead or repeat voters to steal the election. Mikek

I worked over 10 years as a "contractor" in the owners electronic repair shop. using his parts, his paperwork, his secretary, his workspace, etc. Not sure an audit would have called me a contractor, but I'd do it again. I made good money in the middle 80's when Reagan was president. :-) Mikek

I'm not a smoker and I agree that it is a dangerous road to travel down. I assume they only did it for two reasons, 1) they can get you to sign the affidavit and get the discount from the insurance company with no muss or fuss, 2) because none of the people making the decision smoke.

If you talk about not hiring the obese, then I think few managers would be willing to open that can of worms regardless of the insurance savings. They don't want to set a precedent they might not qualify under!!!

Are you talking about the 47%?

There is some irony here. To get the voter ID card all that is needed is a rental agreement. This can be a simple statement on a piece of paper. You show it but they don't confirm anything.

To register a car in that state all that is needed is a voter ID card (or letter).

To get a driver's license all that is needed is the car registration.

So now with a driver's license you can prove you are eligible to vote!

What!!!??

Smokers are just a Jungian Other that it is now socially acceptable to discriminate against. That makes me nervous.

address

With your name on it.

...and proof of who you are. Insurance?

...and proof of who you are.

You now have proof of who you are and your address.

Think about it some more. Maybe you'll become a Republican.

Here's a real world example of why you're wrong (as usual). My mother in la w died last year but before then her legal address was at our house. She go t her ballot last week and she can apply to vote absentee. Obviously the co unty rolls are out of date. Shouldn't this be corrected?

Oh come on Jim, you forgot the graveyard vote. You know, vote early vote often. It is bound to be much larger than the living population by quite a bit.

?-)

address

ur

can win.

No. If he can think, he won't become a Republican. Intelligent people do become Republicans, but only if they've got intellectual blind spots that restrict their capacity to think straight.

law died last year but before then her legal address was at our house. She got her ballot last week and she can apply to vote absentee. Obviously the county rolls are out of date. Shouldn't this be corrected?

Obviously. But what's that got to do with trawling the electorals rolls for people whose names might be confused with that of a convicted felon and purging everybody who might - conceivably - be a convicted felon and looks likely to vote for the Democrats.

The fact that electoral rolls aren't perfect - they are set up and run by human beings - is a very poor argument for sitting back and letting Republican-dominated electoral review commissions make them a whole lot less perfect by throwing out everybody who looks likely to vote Democrat if they can find some vaguely plausible reason to question their registration.

gives a depressing picture of their enthusiasm for tolerating "false positives".

About 20% of 47% are going to be too young to vote, and another 20% are going to be pensioners, who used to be able to support themselves (and the pensioner population).

Romney was playing a stupid audience. He might be stupid enough to have believed what he was saying - he is a Republican - but it's more likely that he knew what he was doing. He's been looking a lot less like a brain-dead Republican since he got the nomination, so it may be he chose to be a Republican in order to have a political career rather than because he was silly enough to believe the rubbish the Tea Party spout.
