Caught on Tape: Wisconsin Republican Committing Vote Fraud in Assembly

coralway: the article refers to one person and as an isolated event . However I am glad you brought it to my attention because it reinforces my original statement and that is the integrity of our election system is in jeopardy and as Americans we need to let our elected officials we won't tolerate it. Because to let it stands means we have lost our ability to vote because our votes are meaningless

Personal Best Regards

Dayton rocks!!!

I guess I am in the minority when it comes to anyone or any group that is trying to get more citizens involved in our voting process. I don't think it is a fair representation of what America wants when only approximately 30% of the registered voters vote in an election. That is only the people who are registered, what about the rest of the people who aren't registered. What harm can possibly come out of trying to get more people to vote. The more qualified people who vote in any election, is a better representation of what Americans want. I am fully in favor of voter id and I am fully in favor getting more qualified people registered to vote.

maybe even a few question test? watch the fire works coming

one thing concerned citizens can do is get involved in True the Vote...google them...they exist to check for fraudulent votes and help register legal voters.

I may be wrong - but I believe I read somewhere that in the 2008 presidential election, 64% of eligible voters voted. The highest turnout in history !!!! And I believe that this November that number will be even higher.

Not to dispute your numbers but getting to the bottom of my point: It is a shame that only 64% of eligible voters voted. What and where were the other 36%? Using your math only 64% of the registered voters determined the outcome of the 2008 election. IMHO if more eligible Americans were registered to vote and then found their way to the polls, a better representation of what direction this country would take would be the outcome. I don't see the downside of helping eligible Americans register and I don't see the downside of more registered voters actually casting their vote.

Personally, I favor the same day registration for voters to be able to register and vote at the same time.

I disagree with you on this. It makes it far too easy for people who are not eligible to vote to cast ballots - examples, those who are here illegally and those who have been convicted of a felony. Question - If they do not have to present a picture, government issued id, what prevents these people from going from one voting place to another and voting repeatedly?

Sure....I plan to vote for Obama at least 1000 in MN this year..... and 1000 times against the voter ID law that will be on the ballot. Would vote more but there is only so much time in a day.
