Well, unfortunately, PEOPLE fuck things up for others. What happens when you cheat? Changes need to be implemented.

Isn't it great that both the US and State Constitutions are so difficult to adjust and fiddle around with, so that it takes considerable effort and THOUGHT, rather than spur of the moment whim, to change them.

I guess it would be fine for Republicans to register hundreds of homeless and bus them all to Florida to vote.

So long as they wait their turn in line behind all the dead people.

Do people with more than one personality get multiple votes by default?

The last big cheats were that 2000 Florida thing, and and then in 2004, something in Ohio, both relating to REPUBLICANS disenfranchising others.

Your obsession with cheating sounds like a personal issue.

Won't be long though, what with the housing and banking thing, that there will be many more homeless, and watch out for them then, they may say BOO and decide YOU shouldn't be voting, since you aren't a majority, LOL.....

Considering that in our state they once used about a hundred dead people to pad their ballot here, until they required an ID it was hard for them to check it. Got away with it for a long time. So the ID protects the system more than hurts the system.

Oh, and for those who are saying the current system of requiring ID's hurts the homeless, get a life, I was homeless for several years (long and boring story) and I was registered, not sleeping on a friends couch either, in an actual shelter. If there is a will there is a way.

I suppose next you'll demand that people that don't have cars be taxi'd to the polls for free, because it's too cold to hop a bus, and they shouldn't have to pay (what the hell IS bus fare? we don't even have busses here) to vote?

Hey! I don't drive, I would LOVE a free bus ticket! Make everyone else pay for it with their taxes, YAY!

The attitude that some citizens do not deserve to vote because of their economic status is a very dangerous one, IMO. It's a step towards creating a second class of citizen. That seems to me totally contrary to the ideals of American democracy.

Anyone can get an ID and an address to use to vote. It has nothing to do with one's economic status.

The grace of God? There's always something someone can do to change their situation if they have the will and determination. Even something as simple as moving in to a homeless shelter and taking a job at McDonalds while getting a free education...
