Ridiculous statement that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Voting is a right but also has some responsibility that goes with it. If you are a citizen and can't meet the most basic, minimal requirements to register then you don't deserve to vote. |

If it was so hard to vote, why can 115% of the population of a district vote? How can mostly black cities elect a black representative? You just wants one party system! So you could be able to steal more than you did at ullico? With motor voter laws, these days, hard to not be registered. Even registered more than once. Why do we have any Democrats elected? According to FOAD most Dem types can not even register! |

Pretty organized really, like whack a mole with hundreds of moles but you don't know which ones are the important ones till after the elections... |

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.

No there is not, not even one.... "smidgen" of evidence of anything like that... period. The conspiracy? |
