I have known people who bragged about not needing a car based on getting others to drive them around with no reciprocation. I still don't see what difference it makes to you since you see no value in voting.

OMG,..if those are the kinda people you know then ya need to hang with a better class of people.. [&:]

Just cuz I see no value in voting in the US doesn't mean that someone's right to do so should be taken away from them.. if they want to do that then they should be able to, just as they have been able to in previous elections.. and if I want to speak about the subject then I will.. there are no rules that say I cant..

Do you get to decide who your co-workers are?
Do you get to clear your neighbors?
When you join an organization do you get to kick out anyone you don't like?
I said I knew them, didn't say they were friends.

yes, I do get to decide who my co-workers are.
I don't talk to my neighbors (nothing more than hi).
I don't belong to any organizations.
Maybe the leaching thing is an Alabama thing?.. If I ever ran into someone like that they would be hitting the curb pretty darn fast.. Obviously a person would be pretty stupid to let someone "leach" off them all the time without some reciprocation acceptable to them.. there is a saying that "no one can take advantage of you without your permission"..

You have to apply for an absentee ballot... this usually requires a drivers licence number or social security number... as well as a signature and a signature of a witness . Your vote will not count until your ballot signature is physically compared. So to vote absentee requires ID and a witness.

Then are you saying that all the voters who were turned away in Texas last week are lying and should simply have tried harder?

Yep... not the same address but the same polling place... what is so unusual about that?

Then you've registered since 49 years ago. You register every time you change addresses.

I registered in 91 and I think i have changed a bit since then. My dad registered to vote when he moved her in 1963 and I know he has changed. And as many people have pointed out already you need id to do most things in life. Why is it so fucking hard for you to understand this?

I don't remember referencing the voters in Texas at all. Maybe if you told me which post it was in?

Are you suggesting they should stop allowing voters to vote by mail?
