I like your ideas on voting reform.

Instead of just checking a box, the voter could write the name of the candidate they are voting for and “yes” or “no” for issues. It would be harder to alter a handwritten response like this.

oh, so you are only concerned with voter suppression. Your stories about how the elections are rigged and stolen are truly lies. While I understand both parties attempt to suppress the other side from voting, I do not believe that either party is actually rigging the election itself. Hell, Daily Kos today asked that all its readers only call those that would vote Dem. That is also a form of suppression. Either way, both sides are slimey and evil.

Greg Palast – How They Stole the 2006 Midterm Elections

The ballot is two part carbonless paper, so that the voter copy and orginal ballot must line up perfectly, it the vote has not been changed.

You are an idiot. GOP tactics include voter suppression through calls telling them they will be arrested if they vote (Macaca Virgina), and suppressing Democrat voter turnout by any means.

If an over-whelming number of Democrats turn out to vote, then no matter how many votes are suppressed, they will not add up to enough of a total to swing the vote to GOP.

That is why we vote.

Interesting Idea and I feel it has some merits, The only problem I see is the millions of “Oh Wait, let me switch my vote because I have 3 weeks” crew.

“I don’t know what happened, that’s not how I wanted my vote counted”

“I never voted for that proposal like the list says I did”
Dig through and produce ballot
“That’s not what I meant though, Change it”

Losing candidates fighting to get people to change their vote after the election. Blogs firing up people to switch later.

a month or two later we will still be sifting through ballots (A better alternative, I don’t know)

I work with the Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project, a non-partisan turnout effort targeted at young voters, and just from what I’ve heard about and seen on some of the campuses where we’re turning out the vote, there’s a huge buzz about this election and students are doing some really creative things to get their peers to the polls. Students are running all-day phone banks, canvassing dormitories and student neighborhoods, and making presentations in lecture halls. They’ve already registered 75,000 new voters and will be making 20,000 personalized get out the vote reminders just today alone.

Already, we’re seeing signs of high turnout in youth-heavy districts: I just heard that the on-campus polling place at the University of New Mexico is seeing the highest turnout that pollworkers there can remember. At University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, more than 100 students are waiting in line to vote. At UMass, the campus polling place saw more voters this morning than they usually see all day.

I heard an older guy (almost everyone there was in their 50s + ) and he was proudly saying how he was a democrat and just needed to see how to vote straight democrat.

I found out that Richard Lugar (R-IN) didnt have a democratic challenger at all (some libertarian instead).

over all very low key…

Melhman saying its only the Democrats who harrass voters….

Lynne Cheney doing her poor me and my nice husband are being bullied by the mean old mean old left wing media on O’Leilly last night….

Time to pay for your crimes scumbags.

Screw the promises. Let’s get the house and senate and start the impeachment process now!

If Michael Novak actually wrote these words, then it shows yet again what a moron he is, for not using the proper word “peaked” instead of “piqued.” As a matter of fact, the Democrats were piqued about 6 years ago, and that pique has continued unabated (and has continued to grow) ever since.

Someone please ask Michael and the rest of the reich wingnut scribes to be sure to hide their ignorance a little better next time…tomorrow, he’s going to be exposed not only as a poor writer, but also as a poor loser (and a poor predicter-or, as the Decider would say…).

OUCH!
I’m coming Elizabeth!!
