You say that like the day he was elected, he became a dictator.

Weird, I remember him running for election and reelection. When exactly did Obama forgo elections to become a dictator?

So you think dictators are elected? Does this mean Obama is staying in office past 2016 because he is a dictator?

False. CT actually used to be a pretty reliable RED state for decades, until Clinton won the election in 1992. For the past 23 years now, it has been a solid blue state. In fact 7 of the 8 counties are blue. Only one red county now, and it's rural and loaded with old people.

Back in 1968, as election returns were coming in, some TV guy said that Connecticut was about 5% bluer than the national average. Nixon won that election and lost Connecticut.

Isn't photo-id law supposed to eliminate that problem in TX? If you were an illegal, would you risk getting arrested for the excitement of casting a vote?

Of course it is for that purpose, and to prevent people from voting out of their district or more than once, but, there will always be some fraud and there will be those who will continue to argue the fairness of phote ID cards. BTW, we are talking in the past, not the future.
