Over 200,000 fake voters in Ohio, because of Obama's group Acorn.. So I guess that's ok with you?

200,000 fake voters? Please provide a link to the source to substantiate this claim. I'm certain we're equally interested in the 4000 felon claim as well, particularly when a professional who provides data and statistics makes it. I'm not certain when the last Florida Election was; however, if 4000 folks voted illegally it will certainly be interesting to understand how the election law was circumvented, and if safeguards are now in place to prevent such a thing from recurring.

Do you believe that voter fraud poses a threat to the validity of American elections?

"No. No threat.
The statistics bear me out. From 2002 to 2005 only one person was found guilty of registration fraud. Twenty people were found guilty of voting while ineligible and five people were found guilty of voting more than once. That’s 26 criminal voters -- voters who vote twice, impersonate other people, vote without being a resident -- the voters that Republicans warn about. Meanwhile thousands of people are getting turned away at the polls."
SOURCE

Under the “Voting Rights Act of 1965,” the Department of Justice’s Voting Section is legally bound to stop “voting practices and procedures ... that discriminate on the basis of race, color or membership in a language minority group.”

and they are all lies, deceptions, and exagerated propaganda from the GOP. You would think after 8 years of this shi_ people wouldnt be so gullible in falling for the same GOP politics that has deceived us for the past 8 years. What does it take to get it through people heads?

With all the ACORN charges, I will not be voting early. I would be afraid some of these votes will have to turn out not to count when the fraud is discovered. I prefer to wait and vote with my neighbors.

After reading the stupidity of some on this board, I have finally figured out why Bush was able to be elected 2 terms.

I have to agree with you. The same people who will be voting for Obama are probably many of the same people who voted for Bush. Instead of thinking for themselves, they go with the voting trend. I didn't vote for Bush either time he ran. I didn't think he would make a good president. I am voting for McCain this time, because I don't think Obama will make a good president. Maybe some of the voters should vote with me instead of voting with the trend.

Ha, I agree ! I just skip over the weird conspiracy theory posts...

Voted Saturday, go Obama! May you fare better than my Tampa Bay Rays.

You mean that shoe that many on City-Data have been promising for four months? You only have four more days until your time for an "October Surprise" has passoed .

voting third party in NC actually hurts McCain because here in Greensboro the only 3rd party candidate on the ballot was Bob Barr. He is notorious for stealing away republican votes. If such a large voting block voted for the Bob Barr, that tells me alot of republicans voted for him. (repubs that dont want four more years of Bush policies but are not confident in Obama) Bob Barr could easily become the spoiler for the GOP in NC the way Raplh Nadar was the spoiler for the democrats in Florida back in 2000. Most agree that if Ralph Nadar had not run, Al Gore would have been president. (which means we would not have been in the economic mess we are in today) The more people vote for Obama and Bob Barr, the better chances for Obama taking North Carolina on November 4th Because a vote for Bob Barr is actually a vote for Barack Obama.

Looks like Bob Barr could have a significant result on Georgia's outcome as well. If you look at the numbers on Pollster.com he still has a fairly significant polling ratio which tightens the race in an interesting way.
