Bush v. Gore

The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College. U.S. Const., Art. II, §1. This is the source for the statement in McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1, 35 (1892), that the State legislature’s power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself, which indeed was the manner used by State legislatures in several States for many years after the Framing of our Constitution. Id., at 28—33. History has now favored the voter, and in each of the several States the citizens themselves vote for Presidential electors. When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental; and one source of its fundamental nature lies in the equal weight accorded to each vote and the equal dignity owed to each voter. The State, of course, after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors. See id., at 35 (“[T]here is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated”) (quoting S. Rep. No. 395, 43d Cong., 1st Sess.).

But they do have a Constitutional right to vote.

People in tiny cities know each other. Sometimes for 80 years. Many don't have cars.

The constitution guarantees the right to vote.

Why don't Republicans just campaign on policy? Why scam? Why suppress? Why fight the constitution they claim to "love"?

Just campaign on your "policies". Unless you know your policies aren't "right". Just campaign on your policies. Show America why they should vote for Republicans. They don't need to screw over Americans to get votes, do they?

tell me how requiring both dems and repubs to show valid id before they vote is voter suppression ???

 

[Conservative]

The Federal Constitution has 3 Amendments that directly state who is protected and allowed to vote in Federal elections. Granted the original document does not State who can and can not vote. Amendments are part of the Constitution once passed and properly voted on. So there are 3 places in the Constitution that state who can legally vote.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to RetiredGySgt again

bummer

Voter Fraud is a Felony.

Where did that come from? Hasn't there been about 5 or 6 cases of voter fraud, out of tens of millions of votes over the last decade? Voter fraud, not voter registration. After all, Paul Newman and Daffy Duck rarely show up to vote.

Then what's the problem Deanie? Id's are simple to get and for truly poor people there are programs where they can get one for free. And organizations who will gladly help them get one. So what is the problem? Fact is in Ohio you can vote from home for any reason and the only ID you need to supply is the last four of your SSN. So again, what's the problem? You really need to be specific when you accuse people of cheating........I never knew it was unconstitutional to ask for an ID.........

Check out the news. Many state legislation's became Republican after the last election on the theme of "jobs jobs jobs". Wow, Americans were really given a black eye there. Since then, Republicans have pushed a new social agenda like never before. Besides abortion and immigration, included in that social agenda was to close DMV's in poor or black areas. Keep DMV's open on weekends or with extended hours in white, Republican areas.

This has been in the news for the last 6 months. Except on Fox. They never talk about it on Fox.

But why not answer the question? Why try to keep college students, blacks, Hispanics and others from voting. Why not just put those policies out for everyone to see. Explain why rich people deserve more. Explain why oil companies need subsidies. If those policies are good for America, let everyone see those cards. Educate us. Just answer the question.

Article II, Section 1, clause 2 & 3 describe how the President of the United States shall be elected.

Article (Amendment XIV) defines a U.S. Citizen.

Amendment XV states, "The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the U.S. or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude".

Amendment XVII states, "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years;"

Amendment XIX states, "The rights of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the U.S. or by any State on account of sex".

Amendment XXIV states, "The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in the Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason or failure to pay any poll tax or other tax"

Amendment XXVI) states, "The right of citizens of the U.S., who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the U.S. or by any State on account of age.

Framed by Article IX which states, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people", makes it quite clear that the right to vote by any citizens of the United States is sacrosanct, and that sufficient laws exist which make fraudulent voting a crime. That the principle long held in our country that persons are innocent until proven guilty is threatened when the penalty of disenfranchisement is executed without due process.

If a political party suspects an individual has committed voter fraud, that is, a person not being a citizen of our nation has voted, or, being a citizen has violated any provision of law by voting, the person making the accusation has a duty to file a report with the legal authority charged with investigating such a crime, under penalty of perjury.

What is being attempted by the Republican Party in several states is a conspiracy to commit an act of mutiny, that is, rebellion against constituted authority.

You are so ******* clueless! Go ahead, take away the oil subsidies. I'll sit back and watch you yell and scream when they raise the price of gasoline and heating oil for poor people. Your sole function in life is to demonize the GOP and big oil. You are such a sad excuse for a man.

Citizens have the right to vote. But it's become apparent that some want to disassociate the rights from the connected responsibilities that go with it.

Because citizens have a right to vote. We also have a responsibility to provide evidence that we are citizens and are who we are. We also have the responsibility to use that right for the good of ourselves and society.

Stop pretending that rights have no associated responsibilities. If you want to exercise your rights, get off your ass and do what you need to in order to exercise them.

No citizen can be prevented from voting in this nation. And making sure no one commits fraud or claims to be them in order to steal their vote upholds the integrity of the process. It doesn't hurt anyone's rights.

Republicans have passed several Jobs bills. Democrats refuse to debate them in the Senate. Several States have passed legislation to save the states money, ie, get them out of debt. Democrats are bitching about this too. They've gotten real well at being poor losers.................

Gosh, it must be a really tough week for you all in the DNC, coming out with this fabricated bullshit.
I'm Conservative, I have no problem with you voting Once per Election. The ID is to keep everyone honest. I clearly understand why the DNC may have a problem with that, considering what may be motivating you. We finally fixed it so you can no longer disqualify the Deployed Military Vote, that must be a kick in the stomach for you. Harder for People to cross State Lines to cast Multiple Ballots. Harder for Dead People or Pet's or Fictitious People to Vote, but hey.... deal with it.

As for DMV's closing down, that is a State Issue, I'm in NYC, we have 2 in Queens, neither in well to do areas. You might consider that in Working America, people generally have more than one job to pay for your Entitlist Welfare State, and can't get to DMV's during normal Government Business Hours. It is a good thing that DMV's are becoming more flexible and accommodating. Let's turn that frown into a smile now, and remember not to poke yourselves in the eye in the Voting Booth, and to Limit your Votes to what is the legal limit.

So it's a punishment to verify who you are? I don't think so. I will be happy to provide transportation to anyone in my area who needs it to get their ID. I volunteer as a driver for both parties every election day. And I get calls from both. My wife votes Absentee, I prefer to visit the polls.......

Now as far as the DMV's having different hours...I know where there are 4 different offices, I've been to all of them for one reason or another. And they all have the same screwed up hours and bitchy people behind the counter. Except for one, they actually believe they are there to help you, but it's new, that will change.........
