#1 My favorite response,

"I'm not here today," Hertz said and hung up.

#2 Love that 68/12/16% spread; it helps Dems look so lawabiding.

#6 C'mon, all together now,

EVERY VOTE MUST COUNT! (except overseas absentee votes form military)

#8 Where can I register for the vote in Florida?

(I live in Washington - never been to Florida, does visiting Atlanta count?).

#9 Following the 2000 election, there were several voting irregularities that reportedly resulted in multiple votes cast, the Florida snowbird story is only the tip of the voter fraud phenomena; consider this from our centers of higher learning:

In 2000, of the 174 Marquette (Wisconsin) students who said they voted more than once, 95 said they cast absentee ballots from their home state and in Wisconsin. And, 79 others indicated they voted more than once in Wisconsin. Those students included 13 who claimed they voted four or more times.

If there’s a question about too many fraudulent votes being cast, what about the situation where valid votes arrive to late to be counted?

Here’s just one example:

Just prior to the 2000 election deadline for absentee ballots, Cmdr. Greg Smith, a Navy spokesman, said…ballots cast by some of the 3,000 sailors and Marines remained aboard ships and will be flown back to the United States "expeditiously" - hopefully in time to be counted.

There are an estimated 266,000 active duty personnel permanently stationed overseas with about 117,000 voting-age dependents. Does this problem persist today?

Well, according to the Pentagon Inspector General, "Several problems identified in our reports after the 2000 and 2002 elections continued to exist in 2003 for all the services."

Doesn’t sound too promising on either account…maybe they’ll cancel each other out. One can only hope!

#10 Make it very clear that anyone who votes more than once (in the same state or in mulitiple states) has committed a felony and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Put that on the ballots, put that on the absantee ballots, put that on the application for absantee ballots and shout it from the rooftops.

Then follow up with some arrests afterwards and we can be certain 2008 will be clean.

#11 Like the idea, RJS. Add to it the loss of voting privileges for "x" amount of time.

#12 Jules 187 - how about FOREVER. The wankers who pull this stunt don't deserve the vote.

#13 Let's not forget the homeless.

In several states, and the District of Columbia, a person's residence is where they sleep (Fisher v. Stout, 741 P.2d 217 Alaska 1987). “It need only be a specific locale within the district. The Supreme Court acknowledged that a homeless shelter or even a park bench would be sufficient”.

#14 Voting twice in the same election? Lifetime ban works for me, Barbara.
