#2 Go back tomorrow morning and vote again. You *are* in Cook County, after all. It's your Legitimate Right!

#3 Straight Commie ticket? I too, a forced to use the evil Diebold machines to vote. WOOO the torture of touching a screen and CONFIRMING my selections after I am done.

#4 If some are challenged by technology in the voting booth, I sure as hell recommend staying away from ATM's... or slot machines for that matter.
As far as presenting photo ID, if it is such an imposition, better stay away from Costco too.

#5 This mirrors my experience as well. Straight Republican ticket, ID asked for, machines easy to use...etc.

#6 What are the deceased voters in Cook County going to show for ID? Death Certificate maybe? Also, are union workers able to bring an "aide" with them?

#7 Good to hear this.
Here in Colorado, one of the items listed that says will do to register for an absentee ballot is a copy of a current utility bill.
Hell I had to show my driver's license a few months ago just to buy sudafed, because of all the crystal methamphetamine labs cropping up everywhere.
I worry about many folks voting that shouldn't be. Illegals come to mind here too.

#8 to compare the validity of a driver's license or military ID, to a utility bill as being just as good is ridiculous. Also in some cases they just need to know the number, not show the license. Check it out:

#9 When we lose utility companies to the lefties, then we're in deep shit.

#10 When we lose utility companies to the lefties, then we're in deep shit.

It's only a matter of time. The HR Departments of most large companies are predominately lefty in nature. That has been my experience anyway.

Second only to US Gummit Civilian Personnel Offices (CPO).

#12 Voted early. First time in my life, straight R ticket including the state and local races.

Now get out there and help get the local Anti-Pelosi voters to the polls.

Call your local republican campaign HQ and volunteer to man a phone bank or hand out pamphlets. If D turn out at Midyear rate and R tuen out at Presidential rates, Congress will hold off becoming a plyaground for Pelosi, Murtha, Conyers and other rats like that.
