kwall Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 If somehow the fact that we can elect a really smart, thoughtful, and concerned person of color as president of the US of A . . .you always cite these as his main qualifications. i agree that he's smart, thoughtful, concerned, and of color. i also happen to disagree with his policies, regardless of what my favorite musician thinks.

Spawn's dad Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've really begun to wonder.... if Tweedy knows we've been swayed by his musical stylings, do you suppose hethinks he can use some kind of mind control to get us to vote the way he wants, and eventually do his evil bidding?

Analogman Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Republican! Seriously, it does seem like one SHOULD. I think I have had to do that here, as well as, the sign-in deal. It must be different from state to state. Link to post Share on other sites
ikol Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 But what about the people who don't have ID or cant find it the day of the election? What if someone wanting to buy alcohol doesn't have an ID or can't find it on the day of imbibing? Besides, maybe said voter is a community organizer voting under the identity of a dead person.

Seems like I recall reading something about that somewhere. Anyone recall the lawsuit?

bjorn_skurj Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 you want to disenfranchise the irresponsible?! ok, adolf.Republican. You don't technically have to have any ID - that's why some people are pissed over the proposal to have a national ID card. (New York charges non-drivers a small fee to get a non-driver's ID.) In New York, you have to sign your name in a book next to the signature you put on your registration card. That's it. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The signature is generally the main check, I believe. You sign when you register and that signature is compared with the one you sign on the day you vote. So if they get a stack of cards with the same handwriting, they get rejected.
