Are Democrats less intelligent? it is no harder for a dem to get an ID than a republican. Or do ALL democrats live too far from the ID gettin' place, don't have a car, are to old, to infirm, to poor. Is the deck really that much more stacked against democrats than republicans? If it is then maybe god really is a republican.

In aggregate, fewer Democratic voters have ID's than Republicans. That's obviously going to reduce turnout by Democrats by some extent. Having an ID or not has nothing to do with intelligence. You're simply trying to avoid the issue, trying to avoid looking at the general picture. The Republican party doesn't care about voter fraud, they aren't trying to reduce the number of unintelligent voters, they are simply trying to increase their poll numbers.
 
What's this? A thread about politics on the day of the big primary?

Are you sure this shouldn't be about gays or Muslims or something?

Personally, I'm gearing up for Dixie's 1st glowing thread about Romney...

In my view all persons eligible to vote should be automatically registered to vote. There should be no process to vote other than voting. No registration X days in advance of election day. And there shouldn't be "election day." There should be "election weekend." No Tuesday bullshit. We should vote at a time when the majority of people do not have other obligations, like working. The first Tuesday in November may have been such a time the 18th Century, but it ain't so now.

People that are not lawfully present in the United States shouldn't be able to vote. Felons should be allowed to vote following the period of their incarceration.

If you look at U.S. history and you reach the conclusion that the bigger problem in our elections is that too many people cast ballots while impersonating lawful voters as opposed to people putting up obstacles to prevent eligible voters from voting, you need to have your head examined. Voter ID laws are just the latest entry in our long and sad history of vote suppression.

How do you make sure a person who walks into the voting booth is eligible?

they are poorer.

Its why the republicans target poor people to disenfranchise voters.

More poor people vote democratic.

That voter ID crap is a solution in search of a problem. Why don't these yahoos look for ways to solve the real problem, which is getting more citizens to vote, period? Here we are, one of the greatest countries in the world and our voter turnout is pitiful.

Looks like I overestimated Romney's support, but had Paul's about right.

Unfortunately, I think Rick Sanitarium has it in the bag. :(

Do you believe people should be forced to vote? (I'm not suggesting that is what you said I am just asking your opinion on the issue) While definitely a small minority there are people who offer their own form of protest by not voting.

No, I don't believe people should be forced to vote, and I used to be one of those who protested by abstaining. Even now it's almost guaranteed that the person I vote for will lose. But I think the number of people who are eligible to vote but don't is orders of magnitude larger than the number of people committing voter fraud.

Bullshit! WHen I was little we would eat beans, and nothing else 4 to 5 days a week for months at a time. When my parents would buy meat it would be for my brother and I only. 7 dollars for a 4 year ID translates into 14.5 cents a month for 48 months. In New Mexico it would be even less. The problem is even if ID's were free, and lots of states have offered to make them free, Democrats would STILL oppose them. YOu have to be a citizen of the US to vote. The only way to prove you are who you are is to present an ID. Fuck sake, you have to have an ID to buy cigarettes in most states now. I am not certain, but I am pretty sure that smoking is more prevelent among the poor than than the middle class and Rich. You have to have an ID to use most welfare programs, you need an ID to register your children for school. Requiring an ID to vote is a minimal restriction (Sorry STY) on your right to vote.
 
dude this shit is crazy. goes against my theorem that voting never matters. damnit.

FUCKING 8 VOTES.
 
I love elections. I love the theater of it. It's one of the only times one can talk about politics in those terms. It's not about what is true, it's how many proles you can get to vote for you. Very machiavellian in a lot of respects. Perception is reality. You dont' need to run faster than the bear, only faster than your friends.

All that matters, are the dumblings, and which way they will be manipulated.

And then, if the ultimate happens, and obama loses, OMMMMMMG it will be the fucking funniest thing ever. retard optimist crybabies threatening to move to canada like they do every 4 years. Moronic 19 year olds will make signs apologizing to the world. Europeans will tear their hair out when america tells them to fuck off like we usually do.

God I love election years.
 
I wonder how many women in Iowa voted for the guy who came out against birth control and is on record stating that he would like to overturn Griswald and allow states to BAN birth control with no interference from the Supreme Court?

These women need professional help, fast.

Truly the most crawling, pathetic, mewling, cretins to ever walk God's green earth. This is assuming they ever get off their knees and actually walk upright.
