Default Voter disenfranchisement?

This is getting tiresome.

For the Democrats, civic duty has turned into civic pampering. If you have to make the least bit of effort to cast a vote, you're being disenfranchised.

Reminds me of Hillary's "Votes for Felons" campaign. Give me a break.

Personally, I'm more worried about electronic voting machines leading to massive untraceable fraud.

That's the real scandal.

I agree. People hack into all kinds of secure systems. How can we be sure someone isn't messing with the voting machines. A piece of paper can be stored and doesn't lie, unless of course you're old and live in Florida and haven't the strength to punch out a chad.

I think the piety of your pretentious avatar is getting tiresome. I liked BKP or your last one better. Why does Romney have a child that young? Does he have a trophy wife?

I just thought the contrast of him against a myriad of McCain ads was amusing.

Even though she hails from his same generation, I'm sure he thinks of her as a trophy.
