Ah... so you think someone is going to risk 5 years in jail and a $10K

for one vote....

Dunno how it is where you are, but in NYC the chances of anyone's being
caught, let alone arrested, for trying to vote using a false name are
probably less than one in a million. In 35 years I've never even been
asked
to produce ID at the polling place.


Dave, you really need to stop channeling the RNC or whatever you're
channeling.

"Updated October 23, 2008

First-Time Voters
The federal Help America Vote Act mandates that all states require
identification from first-time voters who registered to vote by mail and
did not provide verification of their identification with their mail-in
voter registration."

So, even if there was an attempt to defaud by absentee, it wouldn't
work.

Guess you never heard of a phony I.D,


Guess you'd better be prepared to go to jail for five years and pay a
whopper of a fine. Is it worth it for one vote? You decide.
