Why isn't McCain helping to register the homeless to vote? Voting is one of the most important responsibilities of citizenship and what better way to bring the homeless into the mainstream?

Probably because it's just common sense, as I stated previously, you have to have a current address in order to register. The term "homeless" kind of settles that, huh?

It is not complaining that every citizen has the right to vote and to choose whether to vote...

but the blatant bribery for votes... playing games on the edge of the system, being taken advantage of because of no requirement for ID and proof of citizenry/residence to vote... THAT is the issue

I don't care if it is a homeless person who gets up and personally decides to vote for Obama, McCain, Nader, or freaking Scrappy Doo... as long as the vote is not farmed for a party or candidate as we are seeing done with many of these 'activist' groups

Voting Machine Controversy
by Julie Carr Smyth

COLUMBUS - The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election.

Then what is the problem?

 

[Larkinn]

The homeless here do not have a right to vote. Requires an address. It's pretty easy to see how allowing the homeless to vote can be abused.

Wow...

Its rare to hear someone so blatantly say there should be property/monetary requirements for voting.

Actually every law abiding citizen has the right to vote, regardless of their income. And yes that includes *gasp* the poors.

Poor CAN vote. So long as they have an address. What's so hard about that? Providing an address is part of the registration process.

Yep, in Seattle they have three public addresses they can use, mail centers that are free. Also, anyone who does not pay rent of any sort is homeless, so sleeping on a friends couch and you are homeless, living with your parents and you are homeless. You still have an address. The reason for the address is, registering to vote is how they get your name for jury duty, so they need someplace to mail that. Jury duty is the pay off for voting, in a strange way.

Whats so hard about that for someone who sleeps on the streets?

I'll let you figure that out all by your lonesome.

What's so hard about figuring out that the voting process can be tampered with as it is now, so the more security measures put in place, the better?

 

[KittenKoder]

Before they started requiring an address, they had HOW many dead people voting?

 

[Larkinn]

The more the better?

Ok, then how about a DNA sample, fingerprint, drivers license, eye scan, birth certificate, another form of state ID, bill addressed to your permanent address with your name (you know, so the college kids can't vote either), etc, etc.

Whats so hard about figuring out that its not ok to disenfranchise people based on income no matter what the reason is. We have a right to vote in this country. Period.

Some cities actually have districts and people are required to live in that district. I don't get to vote for a congressman if I dont have an adress in that district.

However again, that right is balanced with a responsibility. The responsibility needs to be handed via an address. Though the two aren't linked in reality, they are in essence.

Malkin is the "thinks she's gotten white, really is ONLY the child of an obstetrical tourist, not to be taken seriously, not good at the chameleon thing," so PPPPFFFFTTTT!

She needs to tell hubby to get a job, and she needs to stay home and get acquainted with her own children, for a change!

As for WHO votes, sad, Sad, SAD that this broad thinks she is qualified to decide which CITIZENS get to vote. If they are over eighteen and not a felon then they have the constitutional right. PERIOD.

How dare this "flippy" wannabe presume so. She needs to actually study the rights the Constitution gives, even to a wannabe like her!
