Some copypasta I found somewhere

I am unfamiliar with this story.

however i will say this: it is far too easy for people who are not supposed to be voting (felons, persons who live out of precinct, or persons who are in the country illegally) - to vote.

the system is blatantly abused at every election and needs some sort of reform.

example: during the 2008 elections (and other elections in history), several thousand dead people throughout the United States (something like 600 in Florida alone) somehow voted in the presidential election.

Noticing the HUGE African American voter turn out i commented to a friend of mine - Barrack Obama appears to have a large number of supporters... his response "Buddy, this is the first black man who has really stood a chance in the election... people WILL be coming out of the grave to vote for this man."

and he was right!

is that democracy????

I suppose as long as "your side" is winning the election, its not a big deal.

problem is - if the democrats try to reform it, republicans will be screaming murder about how the democrats are trying to rig the system to scatter republican voters and bolster their districts etc.

and if the republicans try to reform it, democrats will tell all their constituents that those greedy republicans are planning a corporate takeover of the poor neighborhoods and want to rig it up where you cant vote any more.

either way is BS.

we can put a man on the moon but we can't figure out a fair way to vote? and even if we did figure it out we wouldnt be able to agree on it?!

And sheeple will continue following whatever opinions "their party" throws out there without any thoughts of their own.

mind boggling.
