Aside from your refusal to document your straw man (double voting) Minnesota does not use punch cards.

In talking to other election judges from small communities, they sense that this concern has more salience in urban/suburban areas, where that familiarity between people in the community is not as strong. So for many of us out here, the Voter ID issue is really a non-issue.

There is no compromise. We can either vote freely or not.

1. People voting more than once
2. People voting falsely where they should not vote
3. Votes not being counted
4. Votes being counted inaccurately
5. People who want to vote but can’t
6. Ballots which are unclear, leading to errors

DTM’s list has two items on it that voter ID will not solve in the least. The rest of the items are in the hands of election officials. Voter ID is simply not a problem. It’s another distraction the GOP throws out there to divide and scare us. Now, items 3 through 6 are problems and the elections of ‘00 and ‘04 prove how well the systematic voter suppression efforts of the GOP work.

Is that irony or sarcasm?

Great Job!

Everyone knows that a voter ID program would help insure that the votes are being counted accurately.

Republicans are not afraid of asking people for the same proof that they are who they are as they do when they check out a book from the library.

It is common knowledge that doing so completely solves all the problems, of course, not just your point #1.

Anyone who disagrees just wants these liberal people to vote more than once for DemocRats who hate our way of life and our freedoms.

Thanks for pointing that out to these moonbats who just don’t get it.

Great Job!!

Nice pivot. I point out what I believe to be 6 of a partial list of things that could hurt a democracy. You choose 1 and ask for the proof. Do you disagree that if any of these 6 were being violated, it would be an issue? And what are you afraid of by asking people to have the same proof that they are who they are as they do when they check out a book from the library?

I agree that we need to ID people when they vote. I agree that all native americans need to be able to have their votes counted fairly. I believe that hanging chads are bad.

Andrew was right — there is plenty of comprimise to be had on this issue. I think the right and left alike agree that accurate elections are sacred.

“1. People voting more than once.”

Yes, this is issue #1. Why don’t these moonbats understand?

perhaps, DantheMan, you could tell us all how many people were caught voting more than once in the 2004, or 2006 elections.

A link to that information would help feed my vapors. Lordy, lordy, I’m feeling faint already.

For some reason I couldn’t find any incidences of people voting more than once in 2006 or 2004.

I am confident that this is issue #1. Please help me DantheMan.

Great Job!
