Just an FYI that there is an awesome list of Dem voter shenanigans over at http://www.votefraud04.com.
You lying thugs better not try and start anything.
The voting rights act does not require every person voting for the first time to display proper identification. That only applies to people who registered to vote by mail...who do not include several different kinds of identification with their registration.
First time voters who registered to vote while getting a drivers licence...for example...do not have to show id at the polling places.
You lying thugs are despicable...and you better not try to pull anything in the polling places.
You see what we are up against? Enforce the rules and be called a thug. Try to prevent ballot box stuffing and get yelled at.
Think about what they will do to innocent people if they actually take power.
They will be just as vile when they come to take your guns as employees of Kerry's ATF.
And they will be just as sure of themselves when they are raising our taxes, taking away our choice of doctors and rationing gasoline.
The voting lines tomorrow will be a mere inconvenience when compared with the gasoline lines under Kerry. Remember Carter? Remember 1979?
It's not true that the Help America Vote Act requires that all new registrants show ID at the polls. It requires that all new registrants who registered *by mail* show ID, unless their identity was previously verified. In a few states this pre-verification is done electronically if your Chief Elections Officer has entered into an agreement with the Department of Motor Vehicles to match drivers' license numbers put on applications with that available in public records.
Let's not go crazy and freak out if people aren't showing ID. They don't necessarily have to -- only if they registered by mail and weren't already verified electronically.
You are simply wrong about the Help America Vote Act. You write:
In addition, every person voting for the first time in the precinct must display proper identification. This is not an option, but a requirement of the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002. If a voter is unable or unwilling to show proper identification, they must cast a provisional ballot
This is false. The Help America Vote Act does not require all first time voters to display identification.
The statute says what this blog page says it says. There are plenty of people who have mailed in their registrations without proper ID and who will show up at the polls demanding to vote - also without proper ID. This is illegal.
I wonder why some people are so insistent that they shouldn't have to show ID. Does it have something to do with the 68,000 multiple registrations in Colorado? The four counties in Ohio with more registrants than people? The 104% registration rate in Philadelphia? The 46,000 dual registrants in Florida and New York?
Just show your photo ID and you won't have a problem, unless you are voting for the third or fourth time or unless you are an illegal alien like the registrar in Racine, Wisconsin or the terrorist in Ohio who is registered to vote, etc. etc. etc.
Yes, please get the details correct here. Democracy depends on it. Be fair.
I don't know why the left even bothers to go through the motions of the democratic process anymore. Why not just arm all of your illegal alien voters and your Moveon.org crazies and seize power?
But then you would have to give up your hatred of guns. . .
The Left will stop at NOTHING to sieze power: dead people voting....living people voting more than once.... crackheads voting 30 times.... they have to look at themselves in the mirror, they've learned the art of self-delusion long ago.
here is what the act says:
(iv) A statement informing the individual that if the form is submitted by mail and the individual is registering for the first time, the appropriate information required under this section must be submitted with the mail-in registration form in order to avoid the additional identification requirements upon voting for the first time.
Taking from: http://www.fec.gov/hava/law_ext.txt
The language of the act confirms what we have been saying. The new registrant must produce photo ID. Many voters failed to produce photo ID when they sent in the registration in the first place. They are going to show and demand to vote while screaming about "intimidation." We are watching ballot box stuffing in broad daylight. At least in Chicago, Mayor Daley used to do it in secret.
Tom is leaving out the portions of the act that use the words "photo."
To answer Rachel, mention of "photo ID" frightens today's leftists because valid photo ID exists for no more than 100% of the Philadelphia voters. They need to find a way to sneak the other 4% into the voting booth.
P.S. 4% of Philadelphia's eligible voters amounts to about 40,000 votes.
40,000 here . . . 40,000 there. What difference does it make when John Kerry stands poised and ready to take the White House and . . . . what is it he is going to do? Remind me again.
Rachel,
He is going to fight the war . . or not. He will track down Osama, as long as the UN lets him. He will raise taxes, or not. He will find the weapons of mass destruction that don't exist. . .
It is amazing that someone who doesn't know what he wants to do with the power of the white house will go to any lengths to get it, including destroying the electoral process. Elections will never be the same again.
You lying thugs better not try and start anything.
Hey man, it isn't us lobbing rounds into campaign headquarters or having union thugs break people's arms, or threatening elected officials with car bombs or attmepting to run them over in our cars! That's you guys.
This is false. The Help America Vote Act does not require all first time voters to display identification.
Yeah, any ways, how do expect them to get all of their illegal aliens, dead people and crack heads in to vote if you require them to prove that they are who they claim to be?
By the way, you statements of opinion carry no weight.
He will find the weapons of mass destruction that don't exist. . .
...and let's not forget, he's going to micromanage the military, second guessing commanders in the field making the war on muslim extremism every bit as screwed up as Vietnam was, where the politicos in the WH threw our boys in the meat grinder with out allowing them to win!
What exactly is "intimidating" about having to show a photo identification in order to vote?
I'm serious. On a scale 1 to 10, is it as frightening for Democrats to show their ID before they vote as it is to, say, stand up and do something about terrorism? Too extreme?
Okay. Which is more intimidating? A Democrat required to show his ID at the polls, or a Democrat required to display actual knowledge of what he's talking about?
