The answer is obvious- text in your vote, and people can vote as often as they want.

Whomever promises the most goodies wins!!!

Screw the next generation of losers who must pay for it.

I suppose you're one of those people who think other races are relatively dumb and can't figure out how to get an ID like the master race?

Is there something you think they have identified in minority DNA that makes them less intelligent than whites?

Personally, I think all races are equal and have the same ability to get an ID.

Your comment is racist... If I was black I'd be offended.

Why don't you ask one of the black posters on here if they were offended and see what they think?

Are you saying people of color are too lazy to go to the polls as compared to whites? That is bigotry .

I'd really like to see election day moved to the weekend. Some people just say "ah, screw it" because they are too tired after work or cannot even vote due to work schedule.

Point is -- Americans are no more going to give up their free Sunday time to vote then they would their work time.

you don't think those people will say oh screw it I'm going to watch my fave football team.

Companies are required by law to let employees have so many hours to vote......it is almost handed to you on a platter but you think Americans will give up previous personal time.....hahahhahaha.....we obviously have different perceptions of folks in the USA.

I'm not sure what your point is here. You're apparently whining about voter id laws in the States, and how we should be more like France. But when someone points out that you have to show an id to vote in France you say "but that's, like, not the same, man!" So what is your point, exactly?
