I doubt that. Look at all the uneducated who vote Democratic. For instance, those in New York who thought Sarah Palin was Obama's running mate. Then all those dead people and felons who vote Democratic in such states as Illinois, Minnesota, and Washington.

That is a complete myth. There was a video post 2008 election that showed most Obama voters could not answer the most basic civic questions or facts about government. Most union workers are not college educated and they are almost 100% Dem voters.

Kenney You just don't know how to read. The higher education correlates positively with republican membership. By the way: There-is a place or location...The house is over there. Their- posessive..Their information is wrong. They're- a contraction for "they are." Get it straight, mister educated democrat. nnil

Again Kenneth I referenced stupid people, like you they may have gotten a Certificate of Occuapncy at an institution of "higher learning" , but it didn't make them any smarter.

ken, Do you think voter fraud is ok?...like most democrat leadership feel???? Hacked Voting System Stored Accessible Password, Encryption Key By Kim Zetter October 6, 2010 wired.com Alex Halderman, a computer scientist at the university, has detailed the vulnerabilities and hacking techniques his students used to completely control the system last week. The hack allowed them to change votes and program the system to play his school’s fight song “Hail to the Victors” after each voter cast their ballot. The hack, unnoticed by election officials until researchers notified them, forced election officials to take the system offline and adopt a contingency plan for the November elections. Washington, DC, began testing its internet voting system last Tuesday in advance of the November elections. The system, paid for in part with a $300,000 federal grant, is designed to let overseas military and civilian voters cast ballots quickly, instead of relying on the postal system to deliver their votes in a timely manner. But within 36 hours of the system going live, Halderman’s team found and exploited a shell-injection vulnerability that “gave us almost total control of the server software, including the ability to change votes and reveal voters’ secret ballots.” We modified all the ballots that had already been cast to contain write-in votes for candidates we selected. (Although the system encrypts voted ballots, we simply discarded the encrypted files and replaced them with different ones that we encrypted using the same key.) We also rigged the system to replace future votes in the same way. We installed a back door that let us view any ballots that voters cast after our attack. This modification recorded the votes, in unencrypted form, together with the names of the voters who cast them, violating ballot secrecy. The hack left lots of traces that an intrusion detection system should have caught. Nonetheless, it went unnoticed for two business days until Friday afternoon when several testers directed election officials to the Michigan fight song playing on their $300,000 voting system.
