If Voter ID is required for every vote, should absentee ballots and internet voting be illegal also?

Where is the ID check in a absentee ballot. Hmmmmmmm???? Answer that one. The overseas troops and conservative dead grandmas all can vote even if they have an ID that NO ONE can check. How stupid is that one?

Plus, its easy to vote dead if your mail goes to an address. The family dog can vote. Lets end absentee ballots and internet voting for the rich and privileged too!!!

    Good try, sweetheart, but it's simple. Absentee ballots, because they're addressed one time to one individual at a specific address and delivered to that individual by a postal carrier or a military officer ARE ID check. In the military, an officer hands each ballot to the specified soldier personally.

    Public records...death certificate...remove voters from registration. Maybe not the first time, but eventually.

    No system is perfect, but voter ID cuts down dramatically on illegal voting and casting multiple votes. Given this fact, why would you folks on the left be so obsessively opposed to it? Why wouldn't you want a fair and accountable voting process?

    No. The Voter identification regulation would require absentee voting applicants to furnish valid identification to Clerk of court staff earlier than being given absentee voter ballot cards; a clue why the Obama re-election camp opposes this legislation. Obama, in a determined move to guard and strengthen re-election possibilities--- is looking for to forbid energetic army employees from voting---whatever understandable, while you receive reviews the navy just isn't pleased with or completely happy to serve their current POTUS boss. Recall: Obama personally ORDERED U.S. Army personnel on board that aircraft service that got bin weighted down's lifeless body......To treat the Sept. 11 murderous madman to a "hero's" Islamic funeral!! Additionally, Obama ordered any and all submit mortem snap shots of bin weighted down be kept from public view. In essence, Obama cheated ALL U.S. Citizens 10 years after 11th of September. So i will well recognize why the army probably won't vote favorably for Obama....They usually're no longer alone, either.

    Many states do not have internet voting as it can be hacked.

    Absentee voting has always been an area where that has been voter fraud.

    Since a small percentage of voters elect to use absentee voting it limits the possible effect fraud can have.

    Does it need to be fixed?

    Yes but they are going after the area that has the highest chance of effecting an election.

    They are fixing what they can as the options to fix absentee voting are limited.

    An absentee ballot is sent to a registered voter from a voter registration list that meets the qualification for an absentee ballot. The ballot is not passed out like penny candy at a democrat convention.

    Internet voting has not been approved and is current not in use.

    Thanks for showing your ignorance, yet again.

    The goal is to assure rule One Citizen - One Vote.

    Government issued ID (your driver's license would do it) is the mechanism to assure it in the quick (5 seconds of less) examination at the voting precinct.

    Absentee voting ballots can be examined more carefully and cross-referenced with already voted people to assure that they are not duplicate votes. No problem with absentee votes.

    As to Internet - it is too prone to be rigged by hackers at this point and should not be allowed yet.

    I agree with you there. Every person should be physically present to vote, with the exception of the overseas troops unless the Obama administration will allow every soldier to come home to vote.

    Absentee ballots should only be allowed for active duty military and foreign service employees. Internet voting is not allowed in most states.

  • 8 years ago

    Absentee voting at military bases is monitored by voting service officers, check the identification of every service member.

    All mail goes to an address.

    There is no internet voting in public elections.

    You are incredibly stupid.

    You need to show an ID to vote in the military.

    There is no "internet voting".

  • 8 years ago

    Yes they should either be eliminated or have similar identification applied to them as well. The family dog can't register so they can't vote at all. Only progressive areas have "internet voting" it should never be allowed.
