Hilarious, isn’t it? In a pathetic kind of way.

I’m betting the UN observers will be getting a visit from some Democommie thugs today, reminding them what their “job” here is actually supposed to be!

police at polling places are viewed as...intimidating.

Only if you have a guilty conscience and something to hide.

I live in Mexico, as an American expat. Your national ID with picture is require to vote. The voter log at the poll has your picture. You leave your thumb print when voting and your index finger is put in purple ink to prevent you from voting twice.

Geez, even a third world country like Mexico has tighter voter security than we do... Pathetic...

Here in Oklahoma, you have to have a DL or photo ID, and they like you to have your voter registration card, and you sign the log book, but that is it...

Here in Oklahoma this is the first year a photo ID is required to vote. Showed the poll worker my military ID, she handed it back and said “Thank you” twice. Made me feel pretty good.

Same here. Paper ballots, similar to the multiple choice questions from school. Then the individual voter fed his into the reader, which sat on top of a locked/secure container where the actual ballots were deposited after being read by the scanner, before they left the polling place.

Yeah its funny with all the fighting over voter ID we don’t catch hell over it in Michigan.

Not funny at all. Michigan voting laws are not under Justice Department scrutiny like some other states, because we weren't listed in the Voting Rights Act of 1968.

It is the states that are under DOJ review of their voting laws that have an impossible time getting voter ID past the DOJ. Which states are those, you may ask?
