This little tid-bit in from the Tampa Trib.
Seems that people in Florida are getting slammed ( someone's changing party affiliation) double registered and dropped from the rolls. This is widespread the FDLE is on it and may bring in the FBI. Seems that most instances of these occurrences are taking place around and on the campuses of Florida collages. Vote Hackers?

It's also happening in Nevada. Last night (local nesscast from Reno), a man and his wife attempted to vote at an advance poll, was told they weren't registered. He claimed that he and his wife registered at a kiosk, and even has the receipts given to them. Apparently the kiosk registration people didn't feel obligated to turn in ALL the registeration forms, especially the ones that had Democrat, as their affiliation.

People should be smarter than this...

One student, 24-year-old Tressa Major, said she was hustled on the first day of classes at Hillsborough Community College this semester when she was approached by workers asking her to sign a petition to legalize medical marijuana.

``They said, `To make your signature valid, you need to register Republican.' I told them I was a Democrat. They said, `You can change later, you can change later.' I said, `That's kind of weird - the Republican Party sponsoring medical marijuana.' ''

No one knows what group was working the campus that day.
 
I´ve noticed this before... Do you really have to give a party affiliation to register for voting?

This sounds highly odd, since you don´t have to do that here in Germany - in fact, you don´t have to register for voting, either, since everybody is registered by default.

Not to mention that - if these incidents are genuine - they show that having to give a party affiliation is an open invitation to registration fraud.

It varies by state, but in Nevada, you do. It sounds like you do in Florida too.
 
From the article

Of the registrations collected by Arno, Republican National Committee senior adviser Mindy Tucker Fletcher said, ``Obviously, we hired them to register more Republicans. ... They assured us that every voter registration is legitimate.''

Translation, "We hired a group to get more people to our side, we never DREAMED they might actually use fraudulent means to do so. After all, everyone who registers to vote would want to register Republican, right?" (innocent look follows batting of eyes)

The woman is either apallingly naive or appallingly dishonest. You can probably guess which of the two I am leaning toward.
 
You have to put down some party affiliation to register in many states...there are NO states where you are required to vote for the candidates of that particular party, in the general election...

The affiliation is for controlling who votes in each *party's* own primaries, to select their own candidates without being flooded by opposition voters..

And as far as showing up at a polling place and claiming that you are really-truly-honestly registered to vote, even though you have no voter's registration card...and expecting people to accept scraps of paper in your pocket from some mystery person...

Yeah, nothing to be skeptical about there...
:rolleyes:
 
Well , evidently it's getting worse. There are now reports that some people are rounding up absentee ballots who have rep[resented themselves as official Poll Workers.

Aside: Air Force 1 ( The helicopter) flew over my house a while back accompanied by 4 F-16's with afterburners ablaze. Bush went from Tampa to Lakeland and is headed to Melbourne. Florida that is.
Man those jets are loud. My whole house shook. Their altitude was about 700ft. I could almost read the damn letters on the tail.

As Chaos pointed out, the whole idea of having to register to vote is ridiculous. We already have, for example, Social Security numbers, so why not just use those as a unique identifier to keep track of who has already voted?

(edit) By the way, I have no idea what a "voter's registration card" is. I'm registered, and I've already voted by absentee ballot.

Er, yeah, ok. That must be one damn fast helicopter. Or were the f16s headed straight up? Your anecdote fits nicely into the other spews of bs offered as facts in this thread. ;)




As to party affiliation, Independent is a choice in Florida. I believe it is correct that Independents cannot vote in either Dem or Rep primaries.
 
Years ago I registered to vote. Ford was the president, and I felt the republican party had purged all their diamonds so I was going to register republican. Well the people working at the registration booth, asked the usual questions:

1. Have you stolen candy from any babies today? No.

2. Did you foreclose on a widow and her staring children? No

3. Do you know how to wear a sheet with a pointy hat? No.

4. Do you believe Jesus Christ is you lord and savior and will crush all who oppose him? No

I was cast out and made to register as a Democrat.

There process was much simpler.

Is your name Joe Leroy Buddies. Yes.

Ok so we are now going to register you as Joe Leroy Buddies, Joe Buddies, Leroy Buddies, and Leroy Joe buddies
Thanks for registering, please vote early and vote often..

They were intersepting a private plane that violated restricted airspace...it happened twice in Melborn.

Would you agree "accompanied by" doesn't fit the facts?

I believe the act of registration has to do with districting, a way of finding out what the distribution of party members are in a district or area.
 
We have our new ballots this year they look like this


------------ -------------> John Kerry

------------- ------------> George Bush

The instruction say fill in the arrow for the canidate you with to vote for like this


-------------------------------------> Joe Canidate


Many of the early ballots have come in with the canidates name circled. It's going to be a long election night.

For some reason the spaces do not come out there should be an inch of space in the center of the line.

For starts, your Social Security card says on it, "For Social Security and Tax Purposes Only - Not For Identification."

Second - someone stole my wallet.

I note an interesting inconsistency. The Dems are the party of Big Government that wants National This and National That, all of which would obviously require Uncle Sam to know everything about you, including who you are and what kind of catsup you had on your hamburger at lunch. Remember HillaryCare, and President Clinton holding up a sample HillaryCare Health Card that all Americans would have?

But the minute the Republicans start saying people should be required to present ID when they vote, the Dems get all huffy about how this somehow disenfranchises and intimidates people.

Why is that, I (don't) wonder...?
