Rep Power: 12 | | | You need to more accurately phrase the question...
DEMs want more people who want something or some handout from the government, who normally would not be voting, to cast a vote for them to seize or keep power.... I don't officially know what the REPs want.... I want to ensure that every vote cast is a valid vote cast by someone eligible to vote, and that it is not a second vote by any person....
and Mani is right... both sides want to win

Rep Power: 29 | | | Republicans don't get involved in voting fraud, they excel in election fraud.
It's easier to disqualify more people they don't like that way.

I'm really curious about this. | I'm a Republican Silence and can tell you nothing pleases me more than to see people voting it validates all that I have ever stood for. You know, I have said it many times, my daughter is a big supporter of Obama and I could not be more proud of her, not because of her choice, but simply because she has taken the time to stop and realize that she does have a voice in her own government. You may be surprised at how this Republican feels about MORE people voting.

What better way to get rid of that then not have them vote at all through voter fraud?
Meanwhile, who do you think the KKK is going to vote for in this election? The only KKK members voting for Obama are the ones too stupid enough to know how to cast a ballot in the first place.

I'm really curious about this. | If this is true then why do we even have registration cards at each of our offices? Why do I carry cards on me up until the last day they can be turned in (today in Oregon BTW).
