Romney to cook Big Bird.............

We dont have a master list of voters. Each county in the State has a voting list. They still carry my daugter even though she has registerd in Colorado to vote. Whats to stop her from voting here and in Colorado. See thats the problem in the US. Dont even mention Chigago. More dead people vote there than anywhere else in the US.

As long as we dont have a natioanl registry voter fraud will be prevalent. But the dems like illegal voters. Thats why they give away stuff.

I think that is the requirement in the States John. many years ago in the UK you were "supposed" to carry your drivers licence and insurance certificate with you at all times. If you got stopped and couldn't produce them, you were given a pink slip to present them at your nearest police station with 3 days. These days with police vehicles having on-line access, they can tell immediately whether the vehicle is taxed, MOT'd, and insured. Upon any form of ID from the driver they will know whether or not he has a valid drivers licence.

I rather fail to understand the USA way where anyone has to carry a drivers licence as proof of identity. But I suppose that sheriffs in the backwoods have no other means to identify who they are dealing with otherwise.

Chris is correct, but the election card is not mandatory when voting, at least not here ...

In the UK, everyone is listed on the Electoral Register which is held at local Town Halls, and which is a mandatory requirement. Those on the register get sent an official polling card which they present at the polling station to receive their voting paper.

(which seem to be being proposed only in swing states, imagine that).

And the evidence for this accusation is? (hint: virtually non-existent)

compared to the desire to eliminate 100's of thousands from voting by the poll tax that Conservatives once again tried to push through, I'm willing to say 10 cheaters is not a conspiracy in 110 million votes let alone a precinct

How big or small is the problem, any figures available?

even registering online you'd have to have a valid address and eventually prove that you actually live somewhere. They know when you provide a false address. Also multiple registrations at 1 single family address sends up red flags which causes the elections folks to send out mailers to determine residency. Also changes in drivers license addresses gets you a mailer. How do I know? I got a mailer. I had to check that yes I had moved to this address from the previous one in this county. I think that you think its pretty easy to fool the system or even game it. It is very hard to get a fake voter registration without some form of residency documentation. and the penalty for having a fake voters card is harsh enough to deter anyone from really wanting to try.

We have these things called laws. Somehow they don't seem to get updated very often. They frequently require the then state of the art procedure. And of course each step has to be verified by an observer from each political party.

Oh and when they do use a computer that might mean that a nepotism job or two might be redundant.

how depressingly pessimistic. IF I were you, and I'm not, I'd make a run over to the county seat and ask the questions you want to the actual people that run the office. I'm betting that most if not all of the data isn't first processed by computer and then read by humans to confirm the info.
