That's pretty much how it feels for me, except for in 2000, Kris Kringle was wearing brass knuckles. More than anything, I just want the election to be fair. I do suspect that some precincts will not report the actual results, to both sides advantage/disadvantage. That shouldn't happen to anyone's vote. We should get a system that provides everyone with an ID, and uses a open-source, secure and standardized ballot and tabulation. There should be a bipartisan commission to at least create a system that was available to the states that wanted it. These ID's should not be part of a Federal database. It should only be a system for the states to implement.
Yep. Id. Paper ballots. Required watchers from all three parties (hey, give the L's some cred) at all points. 200 yard exclusion zone around polling places. Mandatory video recording of all polling places, 100% live stream. Rock the actual vote, says I. -XC
I think the ID thing is a false flag. There are LITERALLY no legal voting age people who are compos mentis who don't own picture ID. I believe in undecided voters who aren't stupid. I don't believe in people without ID. I'm more understanding about the whole address/precinct thing. :-) -XC
Well, the good thing is that we don't have to agree on that to implement a fair ID system. You can just feel like we are being overly cautious, and we both get what we want.I believe in undecided voters who aren't stupid. I don't believe in people without ID.

Really? I think very little of Obama but I could see him taking that on. I could certainly see Mitt doing it. Heck, Bill Clinton even. It's a noble non-partisan thing and it'd be dead easy. Remember when Jimmy Carter used to haunt polls overseas? If he can manage to add value then anyone can. _XC
My prediction - not a peep about voter fraud/id, until the next campaign cycle. It's a distraction issue, not a real problem.
