I’ve been using my TDL to vote (same address) for years as well.
What I think would clean up the voter roles quickly is an effort to purge/clean up the roles when things change such as deaths, divorces, property sales/purchases, felony convictions, drivers licenses revocations or changes, etc. With the advent of computerization of most records today I don’t see it being that difficult for the above type info being flagged for the voter registrar in each county. The next step would be to use it to purge/update the voter roles. I know that every two years when the registration card is mailed out it isn’t supposed to be forwarded but rather returned if undeliverable at that address. But I wonder how many or returned or not delivered. JMO.
Poor babies!!
Your welcome...I’ve been doing it for years...
But for different reasons...;-)
It’s the blue states that really need to do this!
>> only land owners should be able to vote too
Hopefully there is a /sarcasm tag in there somewhere.
There is no reason why a productive citizen, such as engineer living in a condo, should not be eligible to vote.
Yes, you are right. I messed up. If they own the condo, they are paying property taxes so, they own the condo. So owners, those who have a stake, not those who are here to only take.
58 or 59, if you want to get technical. "I've been to 57 states, 1 or 2 more to go."
Ok, but I’ve noticed when I vote, they actually ‘scan’ my drivers license through their system. Can’t illegals get driver’s licenses? If they scan to check as to the validity of the license but the holder is illegal, how does that help?
That map captures two things, really. More hispanics live along the Mexico border, for obvious reasons of proximity. And, they live in satellite regions where farming and agriculture is abundant. The same could be said about African-Americans, to a certain degree. Within Texas you find more of them near the historic cotton farming regions. Dallas, Ft. Worth, east Texas. Not as many of them around San Antonio because it was a little too hot and poorer soils for growing cotton back in the day. They also exist (African-Americans) in other southern states where cotton was abundant. And, in Louisiana where sugar cane was grown and harvested. This all dates back to the slavery days. There is your ethnic trivia moment for the week.
You’re right. My mistake. I must have been laughing too hard after hearing “57 states” and missed the “one or two more to go.”
I’ve not noticed them scanning my DL when I vote but they may. The data from the DL must match the Voter Registration data. If it does then they can vote. I doubt illegals with fake DLs will also have the same data in the Voter Registration roles as a registered voter. Who knows but some type of photo ID has got to help.
Thanks for that info. Very interesting!
Freepers voter fraud initiative: Send letters to names on the voter rolls---requesting proof of citizenship---those who do not present proof are stricken from the rolls.
Usually each state's Secy of State handles voter irregularities.
