   …and he stole Ohio in 04 (I know, red meat for the trolls).

   The Supreme Court put a stop to the all-democrat Florida Supreme Court’s changing and ignoring election laws during an election to help Gorebot-5000 win. Next time, Gorebot, be popular enough to carry your home state.
   
   These Crow strips are Trudunce’s early sour grapes explanation for the coming ROMNEY LANDSLIDE.

   If the Shrub had gotten all the votes in Florida he claimed, it wouldn’t have mattered if not for the Electoral College system which gives the Presidency to someone who doesn’t win the real vote.

   The Electoral College is obsolete.

   Today, everyone has access to the same news and information. And interests by state are not the same. A farmer in Iowa probably has more in common with a farmer in Colorado than he does with a factory worker or a banker in Iowa.

   At least Rutherford B. Hayes didn’t start a war on false pretenses.

   DNFTT! (In this case, two rights DO make a wrong!)

   Remember that voter caging is just one of many techniques the crypto-fascists are using to try to reduce the influence of democracy in America. For example, with electronic voting machines, Big Brother doesn’t even HAVE to watch you.

   (laughs uproariously)

   So let me get this straight. You’re saying that there WASN’T fraud involved in a guy winning disputed election via a state where the governor was his brother and the official certifying the ballot was his local campaign manager? Swear to God, if that happened in Carjackistan, we’d bomb the bejeezus out of the place.

    I know you’re not interested, but it is a big issue for us here in the US.

    Hey, Rightisright, I hope you’ll be gracious enough to eat your words and smile if your predictions about the upcoming election don’t come true.
    I’ve always noticed that you I’m-right-and-there’s-no-question-about-it types are never as gracious in defeat as you are smug in victory.
    Even if there hasn’t been a victory yet; and if the polls are correct, I wouldn’t be betting on a ROMNEY LANDSLIDE.

    Corvus shuckandjivus insists that what drives the push for voter ID laws are a handful of documented voter fraud cases. I thought such laws were popular because we have a sizable undocumented alien population (and two consecutive administrations with little interest in enforcing immigration laws), and the logical failsafe against keeping noncitizens from the polls seems to be getting the citizens properly documented for voting purposes.
    .
    What is the alternative solution? By what other means can we safeguard against votes by ineligible voters?
    .
    Most people associate voter fraud with machine politics and the sort of skullduggery after the polls are closed. (For example, Chicago’s legendary “First Ward” elections, by which votes are recounted over and over again until the desired results come about.) Voter ID laws aren’t going to take on institutionalized ballot stuffing. That requires improved checks and balances against machine politics.

    Yes, indeed he did. And it’s probably worse today. Voter machine fraud is rampant and widespread but nothing seems to be being done about it.
    

    
    In response to Borntalkingback’s request, inThursday’s comments I posted a description of what the Bush-Chenney-Rove machine did to cover their tracks as well as some of the blatant vulnerabilites of the voting machines. I listed a large number of references and well as names and google search terms. It is comment ~#53.

    Agreed, but unfortunately it is water under the bridge. If voting was compulsory, you would get a much better representation of what the people want.
