They talk of illegal aliens voting and voter fraud undermining democracy. In the last Legislature session, those pushing a voter ID bill were asked for evidence of a crisis. They couldn’t produce it. […] Republicans promoting this say the state could provide photo IDs for voters without drivers’ licenses. Of course it could.

      Voter ID Idiocy From The Texarkana Gazette
      One of the worst editorials we’ve seen lauding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Crawford case relating to Voter Identification comes from none other than the Texarkana Sun, in far North East Texas. Check out some of what the Sun had to say earlier this week: It’s just common sense. But don’t try to tell that to some people. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court wisely ruled states can require photo identification before allowing someone to vote. The justices voted 6-3 to uphold an Indiana law requiring proof of identity from voters. The decision also impacts about 25 states across the U.S. that have such laws. It is likely more states will pass the requirement now that the Constitutional issue has been settled. For most of us, the idea of showing photo identif

      Father and son battle it out for voter sympathy
      There have been many combinations of family electoral success in the UK. In the House of Commons we have husband and wife (Nicholas and Ann Winterton), brothers (David and Ed Miliband), sisters (Angela and Maria Eagle), and many more examples. In local council chambers, many husband and wife teams exist. However, what none of them have ever done is stand against each other in the same seat!Wigan is going to be different this year. Tory councillor Richard Clayton is being challenged by his son, Richard Clayton Jnr, over his matrimonial behaviour. In this election Junior is standing as an Independent. He admits he is "partially" battling his dad as a protest against his father's conduct and says he is concerned about Coun Clayton's refusal to heed earlier pleas to stand down because of it. W

There were two candidate assistants or helpers that were talking to the elderly people.” (REPORTER) Rene Cervantes asked Jose Gonzales if they’re t

      Abbott’s Shining Example Of A Voter Fraud Prosecution Goes Down The Toilet
      Remember back in 2006 and 2007 when Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott was crowing about a bunch of “voter fraud” indictments in Hidalgo and Starr Counties? It appears, now that the majority of those cases have been dismissed, that the AG has little or nothing to crow about: Criminal charges against two politiqueras accused of tampering with ballots in the 2005 McAllen mayoral election were dropped Tuesday, the same day their case was scheduled to go to trial. Hidalgo County Court-at-law Judge Jaime Palacios dismissed the case against Maria Helena Belasquez and Alicia Liscano Molina at the request of prosecutors who did not feel they had enough evidence to convince a jury of wrongdoing. The decision comes five days after a similar case was dismissed against another politiquera,

      Barack Obama’s political positions: My comments on them as a first-time voter
      All the sources in this blog post (which are in black-coloured fonts) are taken from this Wikipedia article. Abortion and contraception Obama stated his abortion position as: "Abortions should be legally available in accordance with Roe v. Wade.". [He also consistently voted] in favour of legalized abortion, family planning services, and having female contraceptives covered by health insurance. Atsuyama’s comment: How unfortunate, I have to disagree on this one. As a Catholic, I’ve never seen abortion as a concept that should be legalised, ever. It’s indeed clear enough that foetuses are living humans, and not pre-humans,. However, as a liberal, I see contraception as something that should be left as a free choice. Environment Obama has taken the stance that global warming is

      Can One Voter Really Make a Difference?
      If I came up to you and offered you to pick between the following two choices, which would you take?Option #1 - I will give you a million dollars cash right now, on the spot, no strings attached.Option #2 - I will give you a penny today, which you can bring back to me tomorrow to trade me for two pennies (double). The next day you could bring me the two pennies, at which time I would give you four. This doubling would continue for 31 days. For example, this is what the first 10 days would look like.Day 1 - 1 centDay 2 - 2 centsDay 3 - 4 centsDay 4 - 8 centsDay 5 - 16 centsDay 6 - 32 centsDay 7 - 64 centsDay 8 - 1.28 dollarsDay 9 - 2.56 dollarsDay10- 5.12 dollarsContinued for another 21 daysYou may have seen something like this before, but it is not surprising that many people would take

      Economy Ties War as Top Voter Concern
      This from the AP:The faltering economy has caught the Iraq war as people's top worry, a national poll suggests, with the rapid turnabout already showing up on the presidential campaign trail and in maneuvering between President Bush and Congress.Twenty percent named the economy as the foremost problem in an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Friday, virtually tying the 21 percent who cited the war. In October, the last time the survey posed the open-ended question about the country's top issue, the war came out on top by a 2-1 majority.About equal proportions of Republicans, Democrats and independents in the new poll said the economy was their major worry, suggesting the issue looms as a potent one in both parties' presidential contests. It was also cited evenly across all levels of inco
