Hi OM,

It is worse than that. It is "science" by the mandate of government
definition. Worse² the definition is couched by the Republican Guard
in the economic terms of "business" which by the sheer inept example
of a flat-line Dow Average has been shown to be pure fantasy cloaked
as wisdom of the ages.

Philip Gold, a Neo-Con writer of some 800 articles, in his book
"Taking Back the Right" has characterized this administration's
abilities in managing ANY of these issues of policy as the work of
SUMOs (Screw Up - Move On).

The evidence of this Neanderthalic intelligence mounts every day, and
Worse³ it conforms to a substantial Neanderthalic following that focus
on their portion of the public wealth being slopped into the trough
for their benefit.

If these folks haven't bothered to register before and educate
themselves on the issues, why should they be voting?

As a BTW, the citizens of Arizona have the right to initiate law via
the ballot. (There are a couple of propositions on the ballot to take
away this right, politicians not wanting any meddling by the common
folk, doncha ya know.)

One of these initiative propositions would require a simple proof of
citizenship when you register and when you show up at the polls. The
usual suspects, i.e., the newspapers, the Hispanic "activists", my
gerrymandered-into-office Hispanic congressman, etc. are needless to
say suffering from severe panty bunching over this.

They claim that there has never been any instance of non-citizens, or
those ineligible, registering or voting.

The evening news just reported that 45 residents of the county
lock-up, felons all, were just registered to vote. Some of them
several times.

I guess that's good, huh?

Hi Wes,

The HAVE. The problem is we've had a spate of "volunteer" groups
who've pre-screened some registrants and those forms NEVER making it
into the office. Another problem is that we have had a FLOOD of new
registrants this summer (100,000+) in this county, and that has choked
the system such that when they go to check their status, their form
may have not cleared the bottleneck, and the office suggests if there
is any doubt they should apply again. At our first stop, quite a few
have been Troops and the families of Troops and I suppose they've been
too busy out of country (or on their way) to read the paper. The
problem of getting Absentee Ballots has been widely reported in the
Army Times (they had offered solutions last summer, Congress has had
problems fulfilling those solutions for some reason).

To All,

Anyway, it is now national law that any registered voter must be given
a ballot even if their name does not appear on the Voter's Roll.

If any of you is denied a ballot because they claim you do not appear
on the Roll, they cannot deny you a "Provisional Ballot" (this name
may vary by state). If they stonewall you claiming they "never" heard
of such a thing, then you simply go to another Polling Station and
make the same demand (you do not have to be at "your" Polling Station
to vote this way). If your state varies from this significantly, then
you should move out of Florida. When you vote "Provisional Ballot" be
prepared to have it placed into a security envelope, where you will
provide your name, signature, place of residence such that when your
name does appear on the Roll that it can be reconciled and the vote
tallied.

Richard,
I wonder if 'they' will hold up the 'taking of office' until
after all the 'provisional' ballots are counted? What if the
count should change to favor the 'looser'? Wonder why I am still
amazed to hear how the government has "solved" a problem?
'Doc

PS - It was a joke, right??

What we need around here (California) is a law that says
you have to prove you're alive when you vote. Dead people
always seem to find their way to the polling booth on
election day in Northern California.
