This issue irritates me more than most. One of the reasons for the electoral college form of electing the president is the following. In order to "elect" a president fraudulently it is rather simple if strict popular vote is tallied. Just go to a populous city and stuff an extra 10 million ballots! With the electoral college method, the miscreants have to stuff ballots in a BUNCH of particular locations. AND... it is very possible that one would NOT know all the correct cities that need stuffing until the night of the election, thus making it very difficult to pre-meditatively throw an election. It takes a lot of "machinery" to throw a national election (JFK was lucky that only a very small area was needed to "win".) /rant

If the libs are for a popular vote winner system, then logic would dictate they would be for a national voter id as well. The two go hand in hand if you ask me. But of course they're only interested in rigging the system towards themselves, not towards making it more fair and on the up-and-up no matter what party ends up winning.

They are so obvious. Who do they think they're kidding?
