“They also need to time stamp the votes to prevent leftist poll workers from voting for voters that did not show up after polls close.”
Yep, these are the precincts where the turnout is 98% or better.
Call for more ballots due to “heavy volume”, these go into a back room where they are “voted”, then at the end, they count the people who are enrolled but did not vote, mark them as “voted”, and stick that number of ballots on the box. It’s quick and easy and poll watchers can miss it (for some odd reason!).
Is there anything which prevents or anyone who checks to see if college students don't vote absentee in their home state and then in their college town. Is there any effort on the part of republicans or election officials to check on this?
Likewise people who have moved from the liberal northeast to the sun belt; is there any check on their voting locally and absentee in their old precincts?
Liberals will deny it, but from the people I have spoken with and listened to their seems to be a very different attitude about fraudulent voting just as there is a liberal conservative split on other moral issues.
I think conservatives like liberals feel no guilt about doing everything legally they can do, to win at the polls.
I think when confronted with the opportunity to commit actual voter fraud the first instinct for conservatives is to refuse because voter fraud is immoral and anti-American. I think that many (not all) liberals see it as a question of what is the greater good. The value of electing liberals to stop the war and help the poor outweighs and trumps the importance of an honest election.
If any of the disabled, elderly or poor had wanted to attend the Supreme Court hearigs regarding this case they’d have had to have had a photo ID.

If Democrats would only look on the bright side, this will cut down on those long lines at the polls they are always complaining about!
Why aren’t Republicans claiming the real reason Dems don’t like the decision: Democrats depend on voter fraud in big — Dem controlled — cities.
Just say it then repeat it, over and over.
As I recall one of the original litigants wasn’t an Indiana resident eligible to vote there. They ended up paring down the litigants, but in the end the Democrats had NO ONE to show as an example of someone who was disallowed to vote by this law.
Most states offer free ID cards for senior citizens and those persons who are on disability. If the Dems want them to vote so badly, they can organize vans to take them to get their IDs.
What I don’t get is how these people are living without some kind of ID. How manys states let them collect benefits without appropriate ID anyway?
The courthouse in the county where my Dad was born, burned, taking with it all records. There is a very clear process by which you get a substitute birth certificate. He had to do it so he could collect Social Security when he retired.
He can't do it!
He's part of the Democrat caucus that adopted that rule.
Yeah Upchuck, I bet everyone of those also has a hard times getting access to the welfare office or their food stamps.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the ruling “disappointing,” saying the decision “places obstacles to the fundamental rights of American citizens—especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities—to participate in the electoral process.” (Bride of Chuckie Speaks)
Hey San Fran Nan, how about the fundamental rights of American citizens to ensure FAIR elections? No more dead voters, no more voting twice or voting fo yo gramma.
“They do so at the expense of vulnerable communities and have excluded millions of elderly, low-income, disabled, and minority voters, even though in-person voter fraud has been proven time and time again to be a myth,” Leahy said. (Really Millions?)
So leaky Leahy, are you admitting that in-person voter fraud is NOT taking place? What about absentee voter fraud? Tell us more, leaky.
I suspect now that this has been heard and upheld by the Supreme Court, that will change.
WHERE THERE’S A RAT THERE’S VOTER FRAUD!!!!!
We can't trust him BUT he just MIGHT do what he says he will do so at least we have a chance with him. We have NO chance with the other two RATS.
Are you serious?
You can trust McCain. Trust him to screw you up to 75% as bad as the other two. (I’m still going to vote for him though.)
Ohio requires ID now too.
We've just completed a primary season without one genuinely qualified Presidential candidate even entering the race, much less getting close to the nomination.
This stuff is just another side show - and increasingly, America's best and brightest are focusing on their own lives and enterprises and tuning the whole thing out.
Here in Texas I’ve seen lots of people vote who could not speak a word of English and only had to have a street address to be allowed vote.
What a crock. If you’re able to go out and vote you’re able to go out and get a free state ID card. If the Rats are so worried about it, let them take people to the DMV like they take voters to the polls. The Rats real concern is that this will make election fraud more difficult for them.
It’s time to require IDs for all who vote and on a national scale.
