deph Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 So any ways another four years gone by and Mr Bush has got his second term. However I was reading that in Ohio loads of mainly black communitys were only given like 2 voting machines, alot of people ended upleaving because they had to go to work or were to old to wait around for hours. Coincidence? I think not. However I'm not as worried as alot of people seem to be because I don't really think any politician would be any better, it's out wiht more empty promises, which is what we get any ways. The UK is the same I knew he would get re-elected because no one wanted Tony Blair to be re-elected and he was. But as the Jam said "the people get what the people want". oh yeah I saw this and thought of you guys. have fun. :burn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me ask you though, this is the most obvious question: How does the electoral college prevent fraud?!?! I think the way that states have all different election practises (some electronic, electronic/paper, paper, whatever.) Alot of states have different machines, and that shit in Ohio where they had way too few machines for the population. Kenyon College, a liberal arts college which is very liberal, had some of the longest lines in the state with people waiting as much as 10 hours in the rain to vote, the last vote was cast there I beleive. Now, I know that the electoral votes are bullshit considering they are out of proportion to the population, but it works in our favor as well, as I think I have illustrated. Now if everyone would go to electronic/paper receipt nationally administered system, I would say a popular vote could be a good thing. Obviously there are problems with that as well that would have to be addressed, but it would be a whole lot better than what we have now. BTW, I couldn't access that link.

Xeroshoes Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Food for thought: One of my GSI's, who has already finished law school, went to serve in some legal capacity at a voting location in Detroit. She said the people working there were asking for 3 forms of ID, in addition to registration forms, and were turning a lot of people away. The location was in a pretty poor area, where many residents don't necessarily have their situation together enough to provide all this extra identification bullshit. She pointed out how these people were being denied their right to vote without sufficient cause, threatened to call the police, and ended up being arrested when the people working at the voting station called the police on her. Here at U of M, nobody was asked for any form of ID, or registration forms. We just gave our names and birthdates. In an election this close, stuff like this could have had a significant effect. Did anyone else hear about or see this kind of shit on election day? The discrepancy between voting in Ann Arbor and Detroit really bothers me...if her story is at all representative of urban voting in states like Florida and Ohio, then shit like this could well have decided the election.

SteveAustin Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I wasn't even ID'd. I presented my folded up paper voter registration card, initialed and signed the book and was given my ballot. I was a little dismayed about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effyoo Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 i just skimmed the last few posts but this occured to me: why is it so hard for the federal government to standardize voting practices throughout the USA? doesn't it make sense that if everyone in the country used the same thing to vote it would be a lot easier to avoid contreversy like in the past 2 elections?

Poop Man Bob Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Federalism. But I believe in order for states to receive HAVA funds [federal funds from the Help America Vote Act of 2000] in 2006, the state must have a state-wide voting system. Meaning all of CA would need to use e-voting machines. Or all of OK would need to use optical scan [scantron] machines. I believe that's correct ..
