Republican Illinois state House candidate Jim Moynihan was taken aback Monday when he intended to cast a vote for himself and the touch-screen voting machine instead cast a vote for a Democrat. “While early voting at the Schaumburg Public Library today, I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan told the Illinois Review. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.” Accordingly his faith in the balloting system of Cook County has been shaken, the Illinois Review reported. While using the machine, Moynihan voted in various races on the ballot and noticed that whenever he voted for a Republican the machine registered a vote for the Democrat opponent. He alerted the election judge and demonstrated the error. Eventually, Moynihan was allowed to vote for himself and other Republicans. “Clearly, I am concerned that citizens will be unable to vote for the candidate of their choice, especially if they are in a hurry and do not double check their ballot,” Moynihan said. “I cannot say whether or not this was intentional, but Cook County voters deserve better and should not have their right to vote suppressed.” If this happened in Florida it would be a national story, not something buried on an obscure boating news group. I just watched 2 hours of TV news and didn't see a thing about it. Voter suppression in Republican states is more sophisticated...shut down polling places where students vote, cut back voting hours and days that make it easier for blacks to vote, et cetera. That is all bull****. If you want to vote, request a mail in ballot and you can vote without ever putting your pants on or setting down the bong. There are early voting places all over the county with very flexible hours. It has never been easier to vote in Florida I don't think the mail in ballots even require postage. That is right, postage paid envelope in the package. and once you register for a mail in ballot you have the opportunity to check a box and get a ballot automatically in the mail for every subsequent election, in case you forget there is one. The idea that voting is hard or even obstructed in any way is simply ludicrous. If anything, it is too easy. You're leaving off the other half of voting...registration. Pretty easy to do. Even if you can't do this, a third party can do it for you: http://www.eac.gov/assets/1/Documents/Federal%20Voter%20Registration_6-25-14_ENG.pdf |

It's always sadly funny when white guys to tell us how easy it is for the economically disadvantaged to register and vote. More bull**** from Harry. How is it hard if they send a ballot to you without you even requesting it and you can drop it in any mailbox when you have filled it out? How hard is it if you are qualified to vote and you are not able to register? Hell, how many voter registration set ups in front of the grocery store or Walmart? Registering is too easy. Even illegals register. |

If you don't have either, the instructions say to indicate that on the card and your state will assign an ID number. Really isn't very difficult.

There are people in this country who simply do not have the documents necessary or the ability to get to the registrar's office or to fight a bureaucracy that wants to keep them from voting. I just posted an image of the postcard form anyone can use to register to vote by mail. There are no documents required. Not even a driver's license or social security number. No visits to the registrar's office. All you have to do is swear that you are a citizen and are 18 years of age or older and provide a mailing address. You don't even need to be literate. In the space for your signature it says to sign your full name or "make your mark". |
