OH yaah this is taxaxhussetts what am i expecting..

welcom to soviet union

No one will review the existing registry list for proof of citizenship, no one will take non-citizens off of the currently fraudulant voter registries, no one will ask anyone for proof of citizenship at the polls, only for proof of identity using one of several IDs that are easily obtained and in everyday use by non-citizens.

When you register to vote, no proof of citizenship is required, only proof of residency and proof of ID.

THIS will get you angry….

My green card carrying, valid driver’s license carrying non-citizen wife can register to vote if she wishes, and no one will ask her for proof of citizenship when she registers, and no-one will ask for proof of citizenship when she votes…

If you think there will not be massive voter fraud in this election you are naive (I estimate 1 million fraudulent non-citizen voters will vote in this state during this election), simply because they can and no one will check them for citizenship.

The only document that proves citizenship is a passport and valid (non-counterfeit) social security card.

The passport is the only fraud “free” document that is the most difficult to duplicate, but even it has people who can create passports using new pictures from stolen ones from the embassy (using inside illegal immigrant activists).

Voter fraud to change the outcome of elections in favor of (gender, racial, ethnic and religious group special interest leadership) is far more prevalent than anyone has the political will to PROVE.

I guess you haven’t read my previous posts on dismantling as many entitlement (social) programs as possible. Or on how illegal immigration is a bad thing? Or on how the bail out was a sick twisted joke played on the american tax payer. Ok, I guess I’m a liberal…

I wasn’t confrontational. The poll worker was. Re-read the post.

Freedom, I never said anything about persons of other nationalities being able to vote. The form I signed declared that under penalty of perjury I was declaring I was who I said I was. So, in reality I was putting my rights on the line where anyone with an ID could just ‘claim they made a mistake’ (if they voted more than once, voted under a few names, etc.)

I understand that in a free society (until either McCains lefty policies or Obama’s socialist policies take hold..) it’s hard to give people rights and then let them excercise them when they want - but thats the spirit of this nation. Which means that sometimes bad things can happen. We accept that as a nation for the ability to have the freedoms we all love. Will that mean a socialist might get elected because ACORN is able to generate thousands of fake voters and have them vote? Yup. But, I’d rather than have that then a marxist society where we all call each other comrade or Unity-25790 and must show cause and permission to do anything in our lives.

Freedom, freedom isn’t free.

unless you have a concealed carry permit, the police can’t tell if you own guns by querying your state issued I.D.

You couldn’t ask nicely for the affirmation form? You couldn’t “decline” to show I.D., instead of refusing? Do you antagonize the police and poll workers for fun, or attention? Isn’t it just easier (and more mature) to be polite and produce I.D.? Or are you, as an elitist, above dealing with people who are protecting you and your rights? Liberals would rather be nasty and confrontational, right? Who did you impress by bullying a poll worker, a volunteer who gives their time and patience to assist voters? You need to reel it in and act like an adult. The people that you revel in chastising about your rights more often than not know more about them than you do. Ever wonder why you don’t have positive experiences with others? Grow up.

Thank you for your time and attention to my rant.

Standard apology to all who are offended.

As for voting and showing ID. I am also against any requirement that states that I *must* present my ID when voting. Last year I had the same issue - a voting officer asked me to present my ID and I refused. Instead I asked to be able to ‘affirm my identity’ which is my legal right. She was confused and started speaking slowly to me (very offensive). I repeated my request. The precinct captain asked if he could assist and I repeated my request. He smiled and said, “Sure! No problem.” He gave me the small document I had to sign to legally state that I am who I claim to be and I was able to vote.

Any requirement to ’show your papers’ to vote is a state tactic to intimidate or disenfranchise voters. Requiring a license or identification is just a hidden poll tax. Now, I have no issue with someone going to the State Board of Elections office and getting that little voter ID card and presenting that (it’s free) but given the choice between using a photo ID and practicing civil disobedience by not producing one - I aim to misbehave.

We should not ever, ever give that much power to the State. Much like social programs - have you ever seen an entitlement program shrink or disappear? Same with powers given to the government.

First bit of evidence is the report that Virginia now has 5 million voters registered. since we have a total population in the state of just over 7 million, we must accept the fact that only about 2 million of our citizens are not registered . This includes all of the children under 17 and all of the aliens who are not eligible to vote, as well as the large number of military and foreign residents who are registered elsewhere or not registered at all.

The demoncrats (I was registered as a democrat when I lived in another state and have only once voted for a democrat presidential candidate in 48 years) are the ones fighting Real ID. The recent ACORN fiasco shows why they do not want REAL ID. The majority of black democrats in the house are against it as they say REAL ID will prevent blacks from casting a ballot. How absurd!
