Voter Fraud
On another note, I'm all for everyone being able to vote without undo pressure and intimidation and all that, but read this from Wonkette this morning:
"8:46 FNC. Fox & Friends:
John Fund, author of "Stealing Elections": Absentee ballots are ridiculously easy to falsify. Election monitors will intimidate local volunteers: "73-year-old grandmothers going up against 40-year-old New York trial lawyers." Our election system sucks so bad that 8 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were registered to vote. The F&F crew takes the high road and doesn't claim the hijackers would've been heavily for Kerry."
First, I don't think we should underestimate 73-year-old grandmothers, that's just getting to the age were logic is no longer a principal concern of there arguements, which seems to perfect antidote to trial lawyers. Second, how exactly did asking for someone's drivers license become undo intimidation? It is absolutely astonishing to me that you can vote without showing identification when, as someone I forget was saying yesterday, you can't take a book out of the library without ID. Third, I'm betting those 8 hijackers would have gone third party.
