Interesting that you should point out Oklahoma; Rush was speaking about this just this afternoon. He said he wondered a few things about Oklahoma......do they allow early voting, can you register and vote the same day, do you need to show ID to vote, etc. etc.
Turns out.......he and/or his staff did a little homework and found that yes, they do allow early voting......but the Friday before the election, NOT 30+ days prior. You can not register when you are within 24 days.....not hours, days....of the election. Also, you must show your voter ID to actually vote.
His larger point was well made and well taken; the electoral process in much of this country is totally, completely compromised. That is precisely how Obama managed to get elected....and probably how Al Franken (for example) is going to steal the Senate race in MN in broad daylight, under public scrutiny.
No one in authority gives a damn any more. We’ve become a Third World country to a large degree, and it sickens me.
Tennessee has a similar registration law. If one has lost their voter registration card and one’s ID card does not match the registration list, your just SOL.
Also, with the early voting it gives someone a lot of time to bus/fly from state to state and cast ballots. Look at what happened in Ohio this year. One guy lived in England and flew in to Ohio to vote and it probably occured in other states that allow lenient residency and way too early voting. As a matter of fact, Ohio had started early voting before the last debate started. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach and the realization that we have become a third world country is depressing, but what’s worse is that nobody is doing anthing about it. Right in front of our eyes its happening and I feel we are powerless to stop it.
