I guess you would just end all absentee voting as well? ALL those elderly people and military personnel overseas shouldn't be able to vote, right?
Exactly.....
I dont hear these people chattering about that. Seems ok to vote by mail, could be a terrorist!
Nobody asks an absentee voter to prove anything. It would be a stupid proposition to force an absentee voter to show up with his/her ID and submit their absentee ballot.
N o. But why does everybody have such a hardtime, with showing an ID TO VOTE!
I have to show an ID. to get into UPS.I
Absentee voters dont have to show any proof to vote. NO ID, or proof that they are even ALIVE.
I dont hear you calling for the identification of absentee voters?
There is a larger percentage of people voting absentee without ID's than there are people standing in lines.
What is it, about the registration process that you dont understand? You must prove WHO you are, WHERE you live and then you are assigned a polling place.
A stranger cannot walk into a polling place and vote, unless he/she is on the VOTER ROLLS. You cant get onto the VOTER ROLLS unless you passed the REGISTRATION process.
Why the need to re identify yourself at the polls if you are already on the voter rolls?
Lets play devils advocate for a second. Lets say YOU were on the voter rolls after you registered. Lets say you couldnt make it to the polls to vote on that day because you were ill, but wanted your vote to be counted. You ask ME to go vote for you. (we are also assuming you could not absentee vote) I show up to the polls, give your name, then find you on the voter rolls, and tell me to go ahead and vote.
I vote for mitt romney, as you would. Did i affect the election negatively? Did I ADD a vote that shouldnt have been counted?
Or, is it still YOUR vote that was already accounted for?
Now, the both of us would be guilty of voter fraud of course, but the vote itself would not have made a difference in the outcome.
This has happened at voter polls.
But moreover, with absentee ballots, people like moreluck should be FORCED to go to the registrars office and show her valid California ID to pick up her absentee ballot, instead of having it mailed to her.
There is a larger chance of voter fraud through absentee balloting than there ever was standing in line at a voting station.
Just ask the republicans, you know the ones, the ones who have been caught committing voter fraud.
