Juli In florida you can get a voter registration card by simply showing your drivers license. And get this... the person you show it to cannot touch the license. Do you really think some fake ID's were NOT used in order to register to vote? I hate to by cynical but these don't ask don't tell laws are designed with corruption in mind. IMO ht Mag

Will you please explain how someone can vote who is not a citizen? Coooiiiiteeenllyyyy!!!! It's called the 1995 National Voter Registration Act, better known as the "Motor Voter Act". That act was intended to make voter registration as easy as renewing your driver's license. When you get your new license, or renew it, you are automatically registered to vote. Pretty nifty eh? The requirements for obtaining that license aren't difficult to meet either... Pass a little driving test (as well as that written one), show them proof of residence and a SS card (which all legal workers in the US must possess, citizen or not) and BANG!! you have your license!!!! The problem is that you don't have to be a citizen to hold a driver's license, do ya now? (I know because I have to avoid them on the road each and every day.. :0) So if you're a licensed driver, BY FEDERAL LAW, you are automatically registered to vote in FEDERAL ELECTIONS, and generally speaking, in state wide elections as well. That means that many of those Haitians immigrants who complained that they couldn't understand the ballot, weren't eligible to vote in the first place, not being citizens. But since they probably have valid driver's licenses, they were told they could vote. Worse than that, it is WIDELY REPORTED that the Clinton/Gore administration in the past two presidential elections had INS expedite the citizenship process in order to get more folks -hopefully ones that will vote democrat, mind you- to to the polls. Unfortunately, in 1996 some 60,000 convicted felons found themselves being granted citizenship because waived the normally mandatory background checks. worldnetdaily.com (Btw, the author, David Shippers, is a democrat who voted for Clinton in both elections) And FURTHERMORE, there are rumours that the DNC was sending out "voting packets" to folks who had either just been given citizenship, or had applied for it. They sent them everything they needed to get out there and vote (for Gore, of course!!), including absentee ballot applications. Now that doesn't sound too bad.. in fact, sounds downright empowering doesn't it? That is, until you realize that they only way the DNC could have access to those addresses would be if someone in INS provided them. That's also known as using government information databases and hardware for political purposes... And that's a MAJOR NO-NO... But hey... that's alright... they're democrats and they didn't know any better. Your post shows your ignorance. Bet you wish you hadn't said that, don't ya?.... <VBG> Regards, Ron
