November 17, 2012 Did Obama Cheat? How to Answer the Question By Paul Murphy
There are 15 states with photo ID requirements for voting. Mr. Obama lost in all of them. In places with the weakest controls, specifically counties in Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, he generally drew turnouts in the 90% or greater range and won by better than 95% of the vote. Losers tend to look for external explanations, and a lot of conservatives looking at numbers like those from Florida's St. Lucie County (where Mr. Obama got 247,713 votes from only 175,554 registered voters) are starting to question the legitimacy of the electoral results as reported. That's not good news for democracy, because the system works only if we trust it -- and having a majority in the GOP write off a minority who think the results were rigged serves nobody. Not even Democrats. So what we need is an independent means of testing the electoral result. The traditional way of doing this is, of course, to assume legitimacy, then gather anecdotal evidence of vote-cheating, promote that to sworn testimony through.... (Read Full Article)

Shame on our CONGRESS for not establishing a National VOTER ID law!

“Is there any mechanism in place in any state to compel a presidential candidate to provide the citizenship status of his parents at the time of such candidate’s birth?”
It should be automatic that whether or not a candidate for Pres. is a “natural born citizen” be determined by a duly certified commission. This would require a showing that the candidate’s parents were U. S. citizens at the time of his birth on U. S. territory.
Of course, all of this has been rendered moot in the special case of Kenyan (culturally, irrespective of place of birth) Muslim B. Hussein Obama.
Doing so would require a national ID registration system. Which gets the panties of a lot of people around here seriously bunched.
Also, the Constitution, except as amended, gives the power to set voting qualifications to the states. Federalism and all that.
