Make Sure You Have Valid Photo ID!

[trish]

Usually, I just respond to other people's threads, but there's something important that needs addressed.

If you live in Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Lousiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Dakota or Tennessee and want to vote this year, make sure you have current valid photo ID, as it is now required in these states. Make sure your friends and family have ID as well.

This is especially critical if you live in one of these states that could go either way in this year's election. (Let's face it, we already know how Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee will be voting)

Also, if you live in Florida, make sure you are still registered to vote. They've been purging people from the rolls for political reasons.

Pass it along.

(Yes, this should probably go in the politics forum, but who actually goes there?)

A total of 70 ACORN employees in 12 states have been convicted of voter registration fraud. ( those are organized crime type numbers) As documented in a July 2009 report by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, of the 1.3 million registrations Project Vote/ACORN submitted in the 2008 election cycle, more than one-third were invalid.But there's nothing to see here folks...move along now.

You know the answer to this, but pretend you don't. ACORN employees were paid by the number of people they registered. So a few wise guys, made up names, to pad their paychecks. But for those made up names to vote, they would have to have documentation that they were the actual person. This includes such things as ID's and current utility bills with the voters name on them, as well as other related items. Without those items it would be very difficult, for a phony voter to get through those controls. So the truth is, that although there were phony registrations, for those to be able to vote. ACORN officials themsleves were the ones that turned in their employees.

Now compare that with Ohio in 2004, when votes were tabulated on entirely electronic machines, owned by a person who raised funds for the Republican party, and the state's chief elections officer was also Bush's state campaign chairman, (just like in FLA, in 2000). People in heavily Democratic districts, had to wait in lines strecthing over blocks long, while mnay Republican districts had almost no lines at all. And it turned out that voting machines had been taken out of polling places, in disregard to the number of recommended numbers, in relation to total registered voters of each polling place. Also, a recount was impossible because more that half of the counties destroyed their results evidence before the period required by state law.

Everyone please vote!

Indeed vote, even though the new GOP biased laws may make it difficult for you to do. Vote, but to do so you will need to make sure that when you show up at the polls you have all of the ID's and certifications required by your particular State (be aware that new requirements may have been imposed on your State by the GOP). Please have your ID's in order and vote for the candidates of your choice.
