Here we go again another 2000 election so to speak. At the very least the states are trying to address the problem before the election. What I am talking about is Acorn. This community organization is at it again signing up people, two, three or seventy times so they can say that they are getting the people out to vote. It is funny though that they are supposed to be bi-partisan but by the reports come in they seem to push the people that they sign up, to vote for the democrat that’s running. To me and most Americans this seems like a serious problem.
On Friday the Supreme Court agreed with the Ohio Secretary of State to stop the investigation into voter fraud. Why would the highest court not want to stop an illegal action by criminals, in this case Acorn. Thank god the FBI is still looking into this problem. The Ohio Secretary of State should be more than willing to check and double check voter registrations. To me this seems like a Democrat republican problem. In other words if Acorn were a conservative leaning group the liberals would have the media and news outlets along with the Secretary of State going after them.
This problem with voter fraud could very easily be solved.
First to vote you have to:
· be a US Citizen
· will be at least 18-years-old on Election Day
· have any felony conviction record discharged, expired, or completed
· are not under court-ordered guardianship where a court has revoked your voting rights
· have not been ruled legally incompetent by a court of law
If you qualify then you go and register at a registration office similar to the office were you get your driver’s license. In fact you could probably do it at the same office and have the registration put on the magnetic strip that most drivers licenses or ID cards have now. You must prove that you are a US citizen then the office could do a background check to verify that you are who you say you are. There cannot be any registering on the same day you vote. It should be done at least thirty days in advance. On Election Day you simply give them your license the folks that are working verify that you are the one on the picture ID or license and that you are registered to vote. Then go vote.
I have no idea why the democrats are so opposed to this idea. They always say it affects the poor and elderly because they don’t have an ID or license. If they truly don’t have one give it to them for free but I have never seen anyone that doesn’t have an ID. It is not up to organizations like Acorn to provide the registration for people. People have got to take the responsibility upon themselves to vote. After all people can afford it it’s free.
