The answers to all your hypotheticals are solved by purged voters voting via provisional ballots.
This allows the clerks time to investigate the validity of the ballots after the election.
Regarding IDs, I would hope the presumption of validity would be the rule rather than the exception since, again, the ballot can be verified after the election.
that the Johnsons were purged because of another couple with their names at a different location who didn’t return a card. Johnson is a common name but another couple with his full name AND her full name? How many others who have no idea they have been purged, as the case with the Johnsons until a lawyer called them, will turn out to have been purged under similar shaky circumstances?
What’s the catch?
In the mean time, I just heard that a judge in PA ordered the use of paper (not provisional) ballots if 50% or more of the machines in a precinct break down. Apparently the PA precincts are very small with usually 2-3 machines.
And as I think noted previously, RINO Gov Crist expanded the early voting hours, overriding state law and our NOT-RINO disenfranchising SoS here. If you must have a Republican governor, Charlie is the way to go. Actually, our Vern Buchanan in Congress is pretty good for an R, too. I would feel safer with a Dem in either office, but if ya gotta live with an R, I think they are the models for the future.
but like he said, it’s not about politics, it’s about doing what’s right. My respect level for Gov. Crist went through the roof after reading that.
I bet McCain is wishing he’d picked Crist for VP now, instead of just leading him on.
From the moment he won the GOP nomination, McCain put his campaign in the hands of the ultra-right nutjobs of the Party. The major decision they took out of his hands was the VP – it’s been widely reported he wanted “Turncoat Joe” Liebermann.
I don’t think that Turncoat Joe would’ve played out any different, but Crist might have played successfully with the “experience’ theme.
Actually Joe Lieberman was the choice I feared most. It would be the sort of ticket low information voters would see and say, “Hey! Bipartisan, I like that!” The media would have eaten it up for the drama. Conservatives would have squawked and Jew haters would have been frothing at the mouth. But given how much of a conservative Jew Lieberman is on some issues I think the conservatives would have come home nearly as large as they have now.
I think it would have been closer even with the bad economy. But I’m not sure the internal politics of the party would have allowed it. For which the Republicans are deeply stupid.
but using “jew” the way you are in this post is considered pejorative. Just a heads up.
Jew-haters? fine. Given how much of a conservative Conservative Jew Lieberman is? Not.
That’s all I’ve got.
You don’t even need to apologize since you obviously had no idea.
I was just letting you know.
…both sides for hammering out this agreement. In my opinion, which is not humble, both sides showed a great deal of reason and practicality in working toward this solution.
(I think I’m starting to sound like a grown-up! I’ve been working on my impression in the mirror for weeks.)
I don’t understand why someone had to sue. Shouldn’t we error on the side of eligibility and sort in out later? Oh, that’s the agreement.
The breathless local news report last night only netted the SOS an eye-roll from me. Take that, Coffman!
Yes, you read that correct.
State may toss 35,600 mail-in ballots over ID problems
I’m sickened. I sickened that Rethugs like Coffman and Suthers are actually making it harder for people to use their RIGHT to vote.
Yes we should make voting easy – but I also think we should require some form of ID when a person first registers. And having the votes become provisional as the clerks work to get that ID seems a very reasonable way that has the individual’s vote count as long as they get that ID in.
Are these people (yet again) unable to follow instructions, or are they actually getting screwed?
I was watching an Obama campaign video about voting, and when the part about copying your ID came up I remember thinking to myself, “People are going to forget to do this.” It was really specific though, and it was hardly impossible.
My opinion? The voters should be allowed to furnish proof of ID at a County Clerk’s office or by getting it in before the polls close on Tuesday.
Yet another reason to vote early in-person! My favorite! And there’s still one more day to do it.
In fact, my girlfriend’s insistence on not making a damn copy of her ID means next Tuesday will be a super fun outing to the polls. No, no…we can’t vote early…we have to join the masses for the…ahem…experience.
Yes, I’m a little bitter 🙂
He’s violating federal law. He knows it. And he doesn’t care.

David, this is NOT good for Democracy. We have an SOS who is not following the letter of the law and making it harder for people to vote. He’s a disgrace.
