Smokes don't *usually* kill people until they're well past
working age. there are a lot of unfortunate cases where this isn't
true. But aren't smokers like paying three-four bucks a pack in extra
taxes anyway? That should about cover it...

Many years ago, the UK Guardian newspaper published an article that
purported to demonstrate that smokers saved the UK government money,
because they died shortly after they retired, thus collecting
relatively little from the old age pension system, and they died of
diseases that weren't expensive to treat, reducing the expenditure of
the UK National Health system. They also paid a lot of tax on the
cigarettes they bought.

and drink soda without putting on weight or otherwise damaging their
health - getting enough exercise helps.

Smoking is more dangerous, and - because smokers stink of tobacco -

OK, how much of a problem is voter fraud ?

The county will send you a letter that says you can vote in their precinct.

So you need to get the county to send you a letter AND you need to prove
to a volunteer at the polling station again ?

Or

You just want to dis-enfranchise enough voters to get your side to win ?

There is nothing at all in the Constitution about the people voting for
President. The issue of whether or not you *could* vote for the President was

Why not pass legislation after this election so everyone has 4 years to

Or maybe 4 years ago, after the last election, pass legislation and have
4 years to fight it out.

Why wait till 30 days before the current election ......

Probably neither - James Arthur is a Republican groupie, and reliably
sees the world in way that makes the Republican party look good.

I imagine that it worked something like this - he knows that the
temperature of a living human body is 37C and when he scanned his 100
targets with an infra-red camera, 98 of them showed up as 36.8C or
lower, so he wrote them off as dead.

Quite what data he actually collected, and exactly how he
misinterpreted it to get the conclusion he wanted has yet to be
revealed, but it's going to be something like that.

The Constitution doesn't say that the (state) legislature can't defer, to the
people, their right. It then says nothing on the people's right to vote.

Doesn't surprise me a bit. There is no real process for removing people from
the roles. Who was it recently (a Democratic representative) who had voted in
two states in the last election? There is no good reason to *not* demand ID
to vote. ID is required for damned near everything else in this society.

Bragging rights? How on earth does one imagine that? It was a
nuisance--I did it as a civic duty, to assist the election commission
in ensuring the integrity of voter registrations. They only have a
few people, and basically have no ability to check.

I said months ago. Time to take off the tin-foil hat. Everyone gets
notified, with plenty of time and opportunity to respond.

At least 98 of the 100 were not legally qualified to vote as
registered. They can easily register in other locations too, and vote
absentee. And, there's no mechanism to detect if they do.

So, whether or not there's any mischief we mostly wouldn't know, but
there's ample opportunity. Why does this not concern you?

Like Ham, not knowing who gets to vote, etc.

The original idea was that the People voted for wiser men in their
legislatures, who would be better informed and better situated to
chose even wiser electors, who in turn would, by voting, choose the
president.

It was a built-in set of selections and primaries, all-in-one--with
each stage of selection producing a higher level of refinement and
concentration of knowledge and expertise--to ultimately select the
best of the best.

Now we just elect the guy with the best hair, or who gives out the

The only reasonable conclusion is that certain people want people to
vote illegally.

"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to
prove they are insured... But not everyone must prove they are a
citizen." Now add this, "Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to
prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those
who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens."

Note that the bar isn't even that high--the attempt was only to verify
that people even lived in the districts where they were registered to
vote, not prove citizenship, or anything else.

You never will. If they can get out of the house at all, they can
get legal ID. If they are homebound, they can still get it, with help.
You bitch about a fictitious 30 days, but this was started several years
ago. I had to have my birth certificate & SS card, along with proof of
residence to renew my driver's license, and that was more than 30 days
ago. Why even bother with elections, if you're just going to let fraud
run rampant?

I don't get it. I give a first-hand account based on actual
experience, demonstrating a clear problem--improperly registered
people who could easily have registered and voted multiple times in
multiple districts without detection, or at least vote for politicians
in districts where they do not live--and you, utterly unaffected,
rebut with a make-believe show on another topic, voter ID.

I really don't get it.

Perhaps because he's more concerned about the other side of the coin -
as exhibited in Florida in 2000 - where Republican-dominated election
commissions selectively purge the electoral rolls of people who are
likely to vote Democrat.

That was the story the founding tax-evaders used to sell the system.
In actual fact they just made it messy and indirect enough so that the
well-off could manoeuvre their preferred candidates into the positions
of power

Actually, to give the well-off repeated opportunities to insert their
favourite candidates and squeezed out the less compliant.

Actually, you mostly elect the guy who can buy most television
advertising - the television advertising may not be decisive, but if
you've got enough money to buy lots of advertising you've got enough
money to buy other advantages as well.

In fact it is more about how the Democrats think about the
Republicans. You don't have to have a long memory to remember how Jeb
Bush stole Florida's electoral college vote for his brother in 2000.

When the Republicans start trying to stop people voting in the next
election it doesn't take a particularly suspicious mind to put two and

Bizarre image. Followers might be seen as slaves to leaders of their
own making - but if you can make a leader, you can also unmake him (or
her). It is more common on the right wing. Thatcher was famously slung
out by her own party when she got so crazy that even the other
conservatives noticed.

Right. They have to document name changes. She's had/used her current name
over twice as long as the one she was born with but had to document it because
it didn't match the birth certificate.

So you are saying that the county knows who you are by your address.

You are also saying that the county can verify you by your address and
gives you a letter that can allow you to vote.

So, who needs to have a government ID if the county has already done
that work ?

You really are stupid, aren't you? They already know your address is valid
because they didn't get the post card returned (it is *not* forwardable). They
know *who* you are, if they care [*], by your government-issued picture ID
(which also has your address on it).

Earlier I was in a Mediterranean restaurant that had a Hooka bar. Every
time the waitress came in from the kitchen she left the door open and
the smoke came in, not in waves, but enough that it was annoying. She
really didn't get it.

BTW, smoking is banned in all restaurants here. I wonder how they can
have a hooka bar in the same establishment?

I'm not a smoker and I agree that it is a dangerous road to travel down.
I assume they only did it for two reasons, 1) they can get you to sign
the affidavit and get the discount from the insurance company with no
muss or fuss, 2) because none of the people making the decision smoke.

If you talk about not hiring the obese, then I think few managers would

There is some irony here. To get the voter ID card all that is needed
is a rental agreement. This can be a simple statement on a piece of
paper. You show it but they don't confirm anything.

To register a car in that state all that is needed is a voter ID card
(or letter).

To get a driver's license all that is needed is the car registration.

So now with a driver's license you can prove you are eligible to vote!

What!!!??

Here's a real world example of why you're wrong (as usual). My mother in law died last year but before then her legal address was at our house. She got her ballot last week and she can apply to vote absentee. Obviously the county rolls are out of date. Shouldn't this be corrected?

Oh come on Jim, you forgot the graveyard vote. You know, vote early vote
often. It is bound to be much larger than the living population by quite
a bit.

No. If he can think, he won't become a Republican. Intelligent people
do become Republicans, but only if they've got intellectual blind
spots that restrict their capacity to think straight.

Obviously. But what's that got to do with trawling the electorals
rolls for people whose names might be confused with that of a
convicted felon and purging everybody who might - conceivably - be a
convicted felon and looks likely to vote for the Democrats.

The fact that electoral rolls aren't perfect - they are set up and run
by human beings - is a very poor argument for sitting back and letting
Republican-dominated electoral review commissions make them a whole
lot less perfect by throwing out everybody who looks likely to vote
Democrat if they can find some vaguely plausible reason to question
their registration.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Central_Voter_File

gives a depressing picture of their enthusiasm for tolerating "false
positives".

About 20% of 47% are going to be too young to vote, and another 20%
are going to be pensioners, who used to be able to support themselves
(and the pensioner population).

Romney was playing a stupid audience. He might be stupid enough to
have believed what he was saying - he is a Republican - but it's more
likely that he knew what he was doing. He's been looking a lot less
like a brain-dead Republican since he got the nomination, so it may be
he chose to be a Republican in order to have a political career rather
than because he was silly enough to believe the rubbish the Tea Party
spout.

Death notices should be sent to the local registrar's office by the
coroner's office, to be removed, and a letter sent to the listed
address, in case of a mistake.

krw makes yet another post in the hope of guaranteeing his position of
group moron. He shouldn't gave gone to the trouble - there's really
nobody else with a hope of taking the prize from him. Maybe he's
hoping for a special prize for the dimmest non sequitur.

A copy of her death certificate was sent to Social Security by the mortuary to properly stop the money. If it was sent to the election folks I don't know but when we got one of these last year my wife thought she took care of it but they're backkkkkk.

Hardly proof of anything, the rental agreement can be written up by
yourself. It has "a" name on it and has "an" address. It also has two
signatures, but who's exactly?

No proof of insurance is needed to own or register a car. Maybe to
drive it legally, I'm not sure. No other ID is required to get the
registration.

What proof? If you have the registration they assume you already proved
who you are and where you live.

You can be as snide as you like, the point is that this happens.
Drivers licenses are still not a very robust ID in spite of the
aftermath of 911 and even in the wake of various scandals following the
alleged "crackdown" in drivers licensing.

It had to be addressed from a company, here. Light bill, phone bill, etc.

There certainly is here!

You must live in east bumbfuck. Proof of insurance was required to register a
car in every state I've lived in. Sometimes it was a little circuitous
(inspection was in there, too) but proof in insurance was *always* required.
Just went through that again (moved a couple of cars).

Birth certificate, two forms of address verification, legal proof of name
change, Social Security card.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised. There is no mechanism to
