As if Bush were going back to Crawford. I thought I read they were looking in Dallas or Houston.

Such a voter registration as well as driver's license are the first steps towards a totalitarian state much like the NAZI's in Germany in the 1930's unless you have a fetish for your ID being tattooed on your arms. Best leave it to the States to work out with assistance from the Feds.

Just a bit of hyperbole there. Lots of Western democracies have national ID cards and the like. I mean, what is a passport if not a nation ID card for use abroad?

The states are already in control of the situation and that's exactly why it's so fucked-up - 50 states with 50+ ways to vote. Stupid and unwieldy in the extreme.

I'm all in favor of a national voter ID/registration card. Most states give anyone a driver's license and a utility bill just proves you have utilities.

That being said, what do you want to bet that votes in those "lost" paper ballots are sufficient to change the election?

Isn't there an outstanding warrant for Joe in Arizona for driving on a suspended license? I thought the police used the Internet(s) to check for that sort of thing?

Of course they were, are Black Panthers! Obama's a Black Panther, and a Marxist, Nation of Islam, terrist, an Arab, . . . Ah, I think I'm forgetting some.

Given that Mr. Robbins votes in NYC where Obama will probably get 80% of the vote, his complaining of voter intimidation is a bit over the top.
