Was the 2004 US Election Stolen?

[Thorgrim]

Out of 2,000 people in Lawrence...you really think there are multiple Juan Valdez's who don't vote?

I'm not buying this illegal immigrant, who can't speak or write in english is sneaking around and glancing over english names, and coming in and saying one...or risking getting caught and deported just so he can vote...

your scenario requires so many different variables to play right...theres a word for this...its called paranoia

I'm not saying it's illegals doing it, but I am saying it's happening because nobody is checking ID. This has nothing to do with paranoia. When I went to vote the roll was on the table in front of me, very easy for me to read. If I wanted I could have walked out and walked back in a few minutes later when the old lady was away and voted again...or gone to the other polling place where I know my friend is registered and vote as him. To say it's not happening... there's a word for this... it's called ignorance.

Of course, if that person or your friend went to vote, you'd be facing voter fraud charges

and if thats how it is where you vote, well thats your problem

in my voting district, the voter rolls are very closely monitored and the font is very small and you'd have to literally grab the list and stare at it to get a full name, and think one place asked the first part of my address/middle name in 2002

there are 1000 solutions, none of them require someone shells out money to buy an ID

So people who have a difficult time waiting on line for hours don't deserve a vote. Hmm who could those people possibly be?

obviously not the unemployed who vote Dem
