October 17, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - New York Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles Schumer were the only senators yesterday to vote against a historic election-overhaul bill they say will discourage minorities in New York from going to the polls.

"I wonder what that might be..."

US passport, for one.

I New York, the dead can "subscribe" to the 'Rat party, so they don't need to go to the trouble of getting themselves up every two years to vote.

But Clinton and Schumer said the bill would harm New York election law by eliminating the right of voters to merely sign their names to prove their identity at polling places.

"Duhhh, what do I do know Boss?"

"Make your mark here, and pull the big lever with the Donkey on it!"

"Duhh, OK, uhhhh, sure thing Boss."

The bill, which would go into effect in 2004, was approved 92 to 2. It would provide funding to improve states' election systems and reduce voter fraud.

The money will no doubt come with Federal strings attached and shifting a little more power from the states to the central government. In the long run, this bill is more about control than elections. In the short run, it looks like it may hurt Hitlery.

Under the bill's anti-fraud provisions, every voter would have to show a driver's license, Social Security card or other approved ID to be able to vote.

One small step in the right direction PING!

Matthews asked McCain if Hillary should run for president. Before McCain could answer the whole audience boooed soooo loudly that Matthews was embarrased that he even said that he thought Hillary should run.

What a beautiful moment! LOL!

You think people are actually starting to understand who these xlintons & their dim cohorts actually are?

They're getting so brazen in their corruption, that even people who don't pay any attention have to be starting to pay attention.

Seems like their vote will be great fodder for future campaign ads against them, if their opponents are smart enought to use it.

"This would make it more difficult FOR THE DEAD to vote in New York," Clinton told The Post.

Highlight her statement to reveal the hidden message!

Gosh, I wish the "blink" and "marquee" html still worked around here.............the moderators disabled it.

...by eliminating the right of voters to merely sign their names to prove their identity at polling places.

The democrat poll workers have a tables set up with names sorted by alphabet to make things go smooth.

They must have a separate table just for the people with the name "X"

[InvisibleChurch]

but who is going to ask them to explain their actions? ... as usual, they'll get away with it

[MrB]

right of voters to merely sign their names to prove their identity

This, in no way, proves the identity of the person. There are no "signature cards" on file, there are no handwriting experts working the polls. No way does signing a name "prove their identity."

You'll never get a direct answer to this fact, however.

[Always Right]

Actual any smart Democrat would have voted against this bill. Any bill that reduces voter fraud is not good for the Democrats.

[JZoback]

I live in Florida, home of "the dumb voter", when I vote my signture is checked via my voter registration card I filled out. You have to have a picture I.D. to vote.

Student visa and/or pilot's license.

"The bill, which would go into effect in 2004, was approved 92 to 2. It would provide funding to improve states' election systems and reduce voter fraud."

This one line explains why Chuck and Hitlery voted against it!

[MindBender26]

The big problem isn't the unqualified voters. It's the minority dems who vote in 5 or 10 districts.

Vietnam had the right idea. When you noted, you got an indellible stamp on your wrist. If you had it, you couldn't vote again. Wore off in about 4 days.

[Angelwood]

"This would make it more difficult to vote [more than once] in New York," Clinton told The Post.

I believe my addition to Hillary's quote is the real objection she and Chuckie have regarding having to show an I.D. to vote. In Virginia, I.D.s are required and the voting process is quick and easy when everyone has to show the election officer identification. Cuts out lots of voter fraud.

This would make it more difficult to vote multiple times in New York
