Our election was yesterday in the USA. In order to vote you must have a picture ID, proven place of residence such as drivers license or certified ID card. We had a new group called the TEA Party in on the election this time. On and On the phone has rang for months asking us to vote for so and so, TV is covered with rumours and dirt on each other. Door to door politics every day of the week. Billions of dollars spent and for very little good. When they get their office if the republicans say yes the democrats day no and if the democrats say yes the republicans say no and the Tea Party stands on the lawn with signs and chants. Oh Well, at least it is over until the presidential election. Sorry to sound to down in the mouth but we all wish these politicans would remember they work for us with super good pay and lots of benefits and it is time they do they job so we can trust them with the welfare of our country.
Andy says ......The ink proves she has voted, and stops people from voting twice................
Mother HoBo says ......In order to vote you must have a picture ID, proven place of residence such as drivers license or certified ID card. ....
Well I live part time on Planet Massachusetts. On Planet Mass NO INK and of course NO ID...Nothing. Just walk in to vote 10 minutes before doors close and pic a name that has not been crossed off. IF you are asked for ID the volunteer will be fired and pocible fined and ostracized by the media as rasicts.
SEEMS BLACKS in AFRICA must be Racists to dip fingers of voters in INK so as to prevent Fraud ?
Same Planet (MASS) that regected reducing Income tax from 6.25 to 3 and democrats swept all election in state !.......some how this does not add up.......
When you rob Peter to pay Paul you will always have Paul's backing.
So who did you vote for in Africa Andy ? Where you asked for a ID to vote unlike visitors to the USA ?

The black ink to say, "I voted! look at me" sort of like all those silly buttons in the USA.
Though an excellent idea to prevent fraud. Very difficult to fake or fool. Too bad 99 of voter corruption comes from higher places in the authority structure.
