Wait a minute.... You do not have to be a citizen of this country to vote????

It changed since 2004?

Well, now I know why so many candidates are courting the 'latin' vote. They are courting a voting block that has been told how to obtain free services from the government of this country, and taught how to vote the pro-illegal immigrint line in order to protect their (non)status until some sort of amnesty(even de-facto) is assured.

The candidates and incumbants are not complaining about illegals voting here in the states. They are counting on those votes, no matter how illegal they are (pardon the pun).

This forces everyone to wonder how legitimate the recent elections were.

Funny. The corruption of Latin America has infiltrated the United States, as surely as the southern border has been compromised, and no one has the guts to do anything about it.

Life as we knew it is over in the southwest.

I don't miss a chance to vote ever and the only time I've ever been asked for my voter regis. card was to show a second form of ID when buying handguns. GA has been trying very hard to make it mandatory to show a photo ID when going to vote. The usual suspects, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond, etc., made such a huge stink about it, claiming not everyone could afford the $17 or whatever it costs to get a state-issued photo ID. So GA said they'd make them free of charge for low-income folks. Then the whiners said the poor folks wouldn't be able to get to the DMV or wherever to have the ID's made. GA finally offered to drive a mobile DMV/Photo van to each low-income resident's house and make them an ID free of charge. And the whiners still say requiring a photo ID will depress black folks' turnout, so it has to be a violation of the voting rights act, blah, blah. It's sickening.

I am not averse to a national identity card system. After all, we still have drivers licenses, and other ids. Why not a universal nationally accepted computer coded card that could take the place of a lot of these other ids?

Do you really think that people who want to bypass the system and register with a bogus ID are afraid of being arrested for purjury? Find 'em first!!

If they want to break the law, they will do so to get the national ID also. It will be a huge bureaucratic nightmare to confrim everyone's legitimacy. The effort would be better spent going after tax cheaters.
