We'll see (none / 0)

If the Democrats of New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada go along with this, this party deserves to lose.  I fail to understand why Strickland would sign this into law.

I know you rae really excited you found a cool map but its a shame you can't analyze issues beyond a google search and what Rush tells you.

When these states began to tighten voting restrctions who was in charge?  Did they Dem houses? senates? governors?  

Why assume that if they have any voter ID they will automatically get stricter?  Maybe they will say we have this and it is enough?

This is asinine.  Post when the bills get introduced and then we'll follow them.  Otherwise I think you are talking out your ass.  Passing these measure would be elecotral suicide for the Dems.  Not gonna happen.

Then, in 2009, Congress will pass a law making this practice illegal and President Obama will sign it and it will be behind us.  The End.

Constitutional quiz for Ken and fun facts (none / 0)
Show me in the constitution were anyone other than a member of the electoral college is "entitled" to vote for the president.

I'll help you out HERE is the part dealing with presidents.

Here I'll help you out some more
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.

While factually correct your post left out one important item. The States are not compelled to allow anyone to vote for president. In fact it wasn't until 1836 that a State allowed a general election to decide who the electors would be.

Now the bonus round. What State was the first to hold a general election to decide electors?
