Oh yeah, Uh-Huh

Couldn't this problem be solved by asking EVERYONE to show ID when they sign the big book?

Yeah, seems like a photo ID would take care of most of the controversy.

I suspect these observers will stand around and remain quiet until someone is denied the right to vote, they're not on the list for whatever reason. Then the observers will spring into action and try to assess whether that voter has a valid reason to vote or if he or she didn't follow the rules and should be excluded. If you get caught in that situation, seems like the best thing to do is NOT state what party you support because half of the observers will try to deny your right to vote - they gotta earn their pay. Dunno, just guessing...

Not that I think it will happen to D2 and myself because we will vote in the precinct where we're registered BUT.....if anyone....I mean ANYONE questions me about my vote they will be greeted with a big hearty "GO FUCK YOURSELF!!" followed quickly by a not so sincere "Have a nice day"

If I see any Republican asshole at Chase Elementary questioning me, I'm going to kick his sorry ass.

Where exactly will these overseers be - directly in the polling place? EEEK!

Reason, do you get a special place because you're organic or something?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have requested a special ballot made entirely of organically grown paper. You should too.

Reason,

Please read the thread -- or at least my part of it. I've already voted!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">While I was responding to your question, I was suggesting that everyone use ballots made only with organic paper. I have every trust you did the same.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Where JDF & I vote, they have always asked for a picture ID. That being said, the only person I will show any ID to will be the person behind the book. Everyone else can get my DNA off my boogers. Thanks for the idea CG!

How long before our National ID card is an implanted chip with information on medical conditions/allergies, political and religious affiliations, shopper discount cards, etc.

You would have to put your wrist over the scanner to vote, to buy stuff, to get medical treatment.

Your doctor would be able to access your shopping habits, "What do you mean you have been following your diet for diabetes? You are buying a lot of Twinkies!" When you pass by the Meijer store, they will narrowcast an ad to the radio in your car, "We see you are a Kroger shopper, today only we are giving 25% discounts to shoppers who change their discount affiliation to Meijer!" It will make things more convenient for the trial lawyers to select a jury.
