Both my fiance and my brother did not get to vote, due to the problems with getting an absentee ballot last minute (fiance) and forgetting to re-register at a new address in the same town (brother).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167544221716631383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106181.post-76750649319971876832006-11-08T19:34:00.000-06:002006-11-08T19:34:00.000-06:00At 8am at my polling place, I was already voter #2...At 8am at my polling place, I was already voter #220. In years past, I'd only be about #75ish. I was thrilled to see the large turnout (almost 60% in my town!) and more than happy to wait in line for the very first time ever. A big round of applause to democracy!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233295478812395714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106181.post-8519706209760086882006-11-07T14:48:00.000-06:002006-11-07T14:48:00.000-06:00We all know how well IDs work in preventing illega...We all know how well IDs work in preventing illegal drinking.<br /><br />It's a voter suppression tactic, where legitimate but low-risk concerns have been used to disenfranchise people who might not have a driver's license or a state ID readily available: the poor, the elderly, and people who have recently moved to the state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106181.post-46248395967861780892006-11-07T14:04:00.000-06:002006-11-07T14:04:00.000-06:00That's funny, and not in a ha ha kind of way.
