" maybe if there weren't so much cheating and voting fraud in the voting process, we wouldn't have to resort to using voter id. thank you, acorn for voter fraud. perhaps you democrats need to have more faith in your voting blog and candidate. "

" Being raised in Chicago, voting fraud within the Daley Democratic Party was and is still rampant. Now the Acorn groups in many key states are buying Democratic votes for a few dollars or packages of cigarettes. Our voting system has become disgraceful and, illegal. We need state ID's with fingerprints that can automatically be checked via computers at polls to rule out fraudulent voters on site. It may be costly to set up but in the longrun it is the only way to assure the OUR VOTES are legitimate. Any questional vote should be tossed out. Both parties may monitor polls but, may only intervine on questionable votes. Our current system of voting varies state to state, is old and, is potentially inaccurate due to fraud. I wonder how many illegals, felons, duplicates voters and, dead people will be voting this year? It may be enough to win or lost! "

" Maybe Keith and Kami haven't heard of groups like ACORN. Maybe they need too. These despicable groups are paid to get votes by hook or crook. Cigarettes, money, alcohol and fraud for votes MUST NOT BE ALLOWED! NOTHING is worse or unfair than ALLOWING some people to vote more than once or allowing ineligible people from voting! This is why so many don't bother to vote at all. This is more destructive than disallowing votes because criteria has not been met. "

I will remember this abuse of office in 2010.
More importantly, I hope that you remember Ron Kind's misguided vote for the bailout package, as you step up to vote this November.
Ron Kind must go. "

" The GOP tries to muster fear against groups that tend NOT to vote their way. We must not forbid college students from voting if they meet proper registeration requirements. This is what the pro/con article was all about. BTW, notice the timing of Van Holland's action. Like Florida in 2000, Ohio in 2004, now Wisconsin has its GOP state presidential co-chair acting in the selfish interest of his party's nominee by using his political office. Elected officals shouldn't be allowed to run others campaigns for political office or they should resign theirs to prevent conflicts of interest like this. A court should place an injunction stopping this until after the election. If this would have been done during an off year for political party related elections, then the motivation would have seemed much less political than it does now. I will remember this abuse of office in 2010. "

" With so much abuse and voter fraud we need an overhaul of the system to insure fairness. As it stands now in these close elections a thousand or two illegally cast votes can put a particular state's electoral votes in the wrong column. The really sad thing is that there are many political operatives who don't care about fairness. All they care about is saying and doing whatever is necessary to get their favorite elected.
All ballots should be printed in English only. If people want to participate they should take the time to learn the language. Are we going to have to hire bilingual (or multi-lingual) voting judges because people can't/won't bother with doing the basics? It seems the voting system has become a plaything for people with agendas, and the less people know about how government works the more endangered we are as a republic. "

'PO'B' is also back to his 'Barack Hussein' bit I see -- a sure sign of flop sweat re: McCain; in fact the McCain campaign has already 'promised' 'US' more rough dirtier stuff to come.

" What are you talking about, "voting restrictions?" Anyone can vote, as long as they are a legal voter, and they have enough ambition to get correctly registered. I guess you mean restricting anyone from walking in with no identification and casting a vote, is that correct? It goes back to "personal responsibility," something that is far down the list of important things for democrats. "
