It looks like it is going to be another Florida in Ohio this year. Already, an ACTIVIST Judge has decided that voters within Ohio can go to ANY precinct within their county to cast their vote. Therefore, a JUDGE, is writing election law again, as was done in Florida. In the past, they were required to go to THEIR own precincts that they were assigned to, to cast their vote. This in order to eliminate FRAUD. Now a MORON voter, who will eventually get caught anyway, can go to all precincts within his county to vote, therefore being able to vote several times. The election will be decided, before the election judges realize that he has done that.

IT IS UP TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO WRITE ELECTION LAWS, & IT IS UP TO THE COURTS TO ENFORCE THOSE ELECTION LAWS, NOT WRITE OR CHANGE THEM.

The Ohio state election board is APPEALING this judge's decision. The action was originally brought to the court by DEMOCRATS. Wonder why?

GAWD! My parents were Democrats. But they were truthful, law-abiding, play-by-the-rules Democrats. The new generation of Democrats are a dangerous bunch. And their activists judges are the most dangerous of all. Why can't they just simply play by the rules? They are sooooo desperate to regain power that they are pathetic. Truly pathetic. They continue to be an embarrassment to our country.

The judge said voters who show up at the wrong polling place after moving without notifying the elections board, and those whose names cannot be found on the registration rolls, should be able to cast provisional ballots there.

Denying any voter the right to a provisional vote will erode confidence in the election and lessen the incentive to vote, the judge said.

"Lessened participation at the polls diminishes the vitality of our democracy," Carr said.

...a federal law passed in 2002 allows voters to cast provisional ballots at any polling place in their home county.

Does a provisional ballot have your name, SS number and address on it? They will then try to verify one's voting credentials after the election? This STINKS! BIG TIME!

Provisional ballots are not counted until after the election.

They are set aside and inspected by Democratic and Republican board employees to ensure they are valid. More than 100,000 provisional votes were cast in the 2000 election - or about 2 percent of the total vote in the presidential election in which President Bush defeated Democrat Al Gore by 3.6 percentage points in Ohio.

Provisional ballots are meant to ensure that people are not disenfranchised because of administrative errors or because they moved.
...
Judge Carr agreed. If the law on provisional voting, he wrote, "saves but a single vote, its purposes will have been accomplished, and its adoption justified."

You know, these are NOT the same democrats that we grew up with. The democrats of yesteryear would have never stooped so LOW. Maybe, that's why for the last 10 or so years, they have been loosing so many seats in the house & senate. The dems. I grew up with had a backbone. When they saw a fight, they would fight.

Americans, & democrats included are simply fed up with these kind of tactics. Now the remarks of Cheney's daughter has got everyone, including independents, democrats, republicans & even gays OUTRAGED at the democrat party. John Kerry, John Edwards, & Mrs. Edwards are going to be on a hit list for the next three weeks, up until the election.

Some left wing liberal nut groups have actually sent out notices to their supporters to tell them, to disrupt the election process by telling judges that they were disenfranchised or intimidated from voting by republicans! Even if they weren't.

I don't know what this country will come too, if this kind of activity doesn't stop. It's really not funny! And I think the only way to stop it, is to consider this kind of activity a crime & prosecute for it.

If you have changed address's in Colorado & have not notified the election board to the new address, IN TIME. You are allowed to go back to your old precinct to vote. We do not need to make it CONVENIENT for certain voters to vote. And this was for the county anyway. Counties normally are not that large, to where it would make it inconvenient for one to go back to one's original polling precinct. Anyone really wanting to vote in this country, will make certain they do. There are also absentee ballots, making certain that voting can be easy. Anyone who elects not to inform election boards in time, while time schedules are posted in the newspaper & all over local radio stations, really doesn't want to participate. And if they're really not that interested to do that, then who in the heck wants them voting on issues that are critical to fed, state & local issues?

And no matter what, being able to vote in your non-precinct, WITHIN THE SAME COUNTY YOU RESIDE, OPENS invitation to fraud.

AGAIN, it is NOT up to activist judges to change or re-write election law. That is up to each State legislature.

"AGAIN, it is NOT up to activist judges to change or re-write election law. That is up to each State legislature."

this is getting tiresome

You're right!
This ruling opens up an entire CAN OF WORMS! They're will be law suits flying everywhere.

There is NO WAY that anybody should be trying to verify votes when they know who the person voted for. In Florida, they were trying to give Gore votes for "dented" chads, and throwing out military votes that they said arrived late. If the election is close at all, you can bet this kind of thing could cause riots. The whole reason for having a deadline for registration is so they can verify the voter before the election. I'd like to knock some sense into these people.
