If I can vote in 2 different places in the same state, it is the state who needs to get up to date. Visa knows where I am and when. The state and county could, too.

What difference does it really make? The rich control who runs, who gets funded and the airwaves. We only know what they want us to know.

Nobody is trivializing old folks. 10% do not have photo id.
And yet Democrats think old people and minorities are too ignorant to obtain a photo ID....which would be a tool to use in stopping repeat voters.

The county where I live mails out the voter registration cards every 2 years. The county totally depends on the USPS to return the cards if the person has moved. Some do not make it back to the post office. Some houses have 3 different owners registered because people moved out of the county. There is no way to check for duplicate county registration in the same state.

I personally know a guy lived in California but worked in Texas a couple of days a week. He registered to vote in Texas, too, and did.

I also have a friend who is from Britain. She came here, got a drivers license and went to register her car. She just filled out all of the cards the county clerks gave her. She registered to vote. She was on the rolls for years and did not even know it.

If I were deputized to register voters at my local grocery store and someone filled out the card erroneously or put their name as Donald Duck, I would have to turn in the card to the county. It is up to them to determine multiple registrations or silly ones. I could not throw away a filled out card, even Donald Duck's.

I have always produced my registration and drivers license at the polling place. I have no problem with that. There are some little old folks that I delivered Meals on Wheels to who do not have or would have great difficulty obtaining an official photo ID. The churches and community groups could provide that service.

I'm confused. Wouldn't the guy from the voting machine company be trying to sell the machine?

I think the voters ignored them, too.
Did anybody complain of voter intimidation. Had they been at my polling place, I would have just walked right by them. Two kids play acting.

And who in the current limelight is a product of the Chicago political machine? Correctamundo the POTUS. No vote fraud there.
