This never happened in 2000. I get a bad feeling that the 2004 election will end up in court.

The #1 problem in NM is that no ID is required to vote!
Republicans want 100% voter ID; Democrats want 0% ID.

Republicans want 100% voter ID; Democrats want 0% ID. That's because Republicans want Americans to vote, whereas the Democrats want illegals to vote.

Photo ID should be required for every vote cast - for starters.

But Graves was quick to point out that it is probably not the Democratic Party itself that is perpetuating the problem. Instead, he blamed liberal 527 groups and their aggressive voter-registration efforts, which he said have resulted in 100,000 new voters.
Well, it is a proven winning strategy for the Left. Encourage fraud from the top of the Dem party on down, but take no part in the fraud. Let local level "activists" do it for you.
Did Gore know about Irv Slosberg? Or Daschle about Becky Red Earth? No, almost certainly not.
But they certainly benefit from it...

Well, this state...NM...went to Gore in 2000 AFTER a box of "missing" ballots shgowed up with just enough votes for Gore to win the state.
Strangely, in the box was not one single vote for Bush or any other candidate.
But there was no fraud. (cough)

Well, let's be sure and sit around and watch this happen. We accept it as their "strategy". No one is punished in any way that deters it in the future. It's time to freak out and kick their a** when they try and screw with our election.

But what happens when they all get Driver's licenses, without ss# in some states. ID does not equal legal.

Farrauto said, adding that if there were evidence of voter fraud, Republicans would seek legal action and not just air their grievances in public. Uhmm. wasn't that what Mr. Graves just said?
I'd be OK with the voter registration push if it didn't have the absentee ballot in the same bundle. We in Southern Ohio have seen more ACT workers than registered voters. I'd ask who pays their bills except I know it's Soros.

I don't care what they do in state or local elections, but in order to vote in a federal election, I think ID must be required.

Kerry is getting some rather unusual, but maybe not unexpected, help.
HAVANA, Oct. 19, 2004 -- A multitude of unlikely volunteers is working the phones for Sen. John Kerry in the swing state of Florida. His campaign is unaware of the support, as the volunteers do not live in the United States, but in Communist-run Cuba.

Sorry, fellow Freepers. I live in NM and am painfully aware of the voter fraud that has existed here for decades. It is impossible for a Republican to win any race in the northern part of the state, period. A statewide election requires at least a five percent vote advantage to eek out a victory due to mysterious votes in the north and in the Las Cruces area. We are, unfortuneately, a banana republic.

Oh OK. My bad. I never pay attention in New Mexico when it comes to politics.

The Dems are absolutely going to try to steal this election. Voter fraud, lawsuits, whatever it takes. So get ready this is going to be real ugly.
To: T-Boy
Right, but the more things people have to do to pull of something illegal, the more chances there are for them to get caught.
To: Ptarmigan
No big deal. Most people don't even know we are a state. When I told folks at my HS in VA that I was going to college at the University of New Mexico, they all asked (teachers included) "Why are you going to college in a foriegn country?".
With a political system like we have in this state, no wonder everyone thinks we are part of Central America!

Bill Redmond (and long before him, Manuel Lujan) did pretty well in the north. Of couse, the Redmond didn't get much monetary suppoft against Udall. (Redmond was leading in the polls until Friday before the election.)
I have heard some comments about Republicans trying to steal the election by manipulating the voting machines. I think the main problem will be more "found votes" for Kerry, if necessry.
