A TV station comparing voter registrations against jury questionaiires is an adequate measure to prevent voter fraud?

It usually helps to read a link before commenting on it....

I actually agree with you on this and want something done to prevent the potential fraud from mail in ballots. I think there are entire states that vote through the mail. I don't like it. Still, nothing wrong with showing an ID at the polling place.

The fact is that the incidence of voter fraud is miniscule compared with the number of ballots cast. Reasoning by ancedotes isn't a very strong argument.

Yep, Oregon and I love that state for that reason (and many other reasons as well.) I loved being able to take my time reading oover my ballot on my time. Studying the pros and cons of each issue and candidate. And then dropping it off when I had the chance. I prefer voting mail in ballot and hate having to go to the polls before work on election day.

Obamacare may require a photo ID - so do most forms of welfare...they are racist.

I do that online days before I go to my polling place.

Now you going from saying the system works to the argument it's a small percentage. What's the percentage?

In Oregon I can study who I am gonna vote for, vote, and do it from my toilet if I want to or in the morning while having my coffee. I don't have to go to a polling station or stand in a stupid booth and try to remember everything I read up on because I and already done and was able to drop off my vote without having to even get out of my car.

We wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone just to keep elections honest and fair.

So do I. The ballot is posted online before early voting starts.
When I go to vote I already know how I'm voting.
