LuckyGem - that will not work in New Hampshire because registration closes long enough before the election that all the registrations can be compared and any duplication removed on a state wide level. We also have a system based on paper ballots that are electronically counted and stored for a hand count if needed.

There's a deadline for registering in Los Angeles County as well.

I still believe that if someone knows somebody inside the registrar's office, you could get absentee ballots and take them to different polling places and "stuff the ballot box".

Not to mention there are felons who vote, non citizens who vote, dead people who vote, that's stuffing the ballot box as well.

Ask any Democrat - it is part of the indoctrination. I remember my fathe rin law telling me of when he worked for the Democratic party in Mass. when he was younger and driving old folks to the polls, taking them into the booth and pulling the Democratic levers for them. Acorn, dead voters, the 200o election....history shows that the Democrats cornered the market on this practice. Very similar to Union thug tactics.

What does that mean?

I suggest you work a poll or keep your mouth shut. You think that you are funny - you are not. You are demeaning and trashing the honest hard work that the people who volunteer or work for a small stipend, 15-18 hrs a day on Election Day do to ensure that the election is run smoothly, fairly, and that your vote counts. Do you have any specific evidence to back up your vicious statements? No? - then can it.

The easiest way would be to get ahold of absentee ballots since one doesn't have to come in person to cast them.

Of course I never hear about the GOP complaining about this source of voter fraud, I wonder why?

Since always. They get counted 7=10 days after the election.

Absentee ballots didn't used to get counted at all, unless it was a really close race, but I think with the large move on the part of voters to paper ballots (absentee ballots in states still using electronic voting), the practice has changed to include absentee ballots as part of the main vote.

So how is requiring voters to have photo IDs going to help that?
