    i would probably most likely crawl through broken glass to vote, but that's just me. we're all different & have different beliefs. here's another thing... if someone is an adult or driving age, get fucking id. good to go

    there's this one country far away that has people (applying for id) swim 13 miles before they can have a photo id. over there you can not buy a frickin thing without id except for tape & glue

    Yeah I feel you, it's just frustrating that the law is clearly in place in order to keep certain people from voting, several conservative politicians even admit as much in that video.

    Iwo Jima veteran denied his vote due to GOP (that worm of a man Scott Walker) voter ID law.
    This is what happens.

    This issue totally deserves its own thread.

    That this kind of thing happens is both a travesty and a disgrace. That it happens commonly is an embarrassment. The system from how you get an ID to what counts as an ID needs to be revamped. Stories like this can't be spread around enough.

    When it comes to voting, I just see it as two separate issues. The issue of ID needs to be fixed. The issue of ID can be fixed. I just don't see that as a reason - once it is fixed - to not require ID at the polls. People need to register, people should also need to show some form of free, easy to obtain proof they are the person who did register.

    (PS - I used to live down the street from the Charles Pierce who wrote that article. Super nice guy.)

    Starting from last to first, that is really cool!
    The way I see it, if ID laws are the way a governing body wants to go, they should START with a satisfactory ID solution an go from there. If they did so, it would be two separate issues. The current system is to shove ID laws through and worry about problems later (if at all!).

    Even worse, the laws are shoved through with obvious flaws by design. That is criminal.

    Anyone know how these attendees at the flint "debate" got their ticket to attend?

    Is the crowd just a bunch of democrat insiders?

    New Hampshire goes to Bernie.
    Vermont goes to Bernie.
    Tonight Maine goes to Bernie.

    It would be a clear pattern in New England if Massachusetts hadn't screwed it up.

    I read today that people are angry because the public was not invited. Those questions supposedly don't represent the people of Flint.

    So here is a potential problem. Record turnout in the Maine Republican Caucuses yesterday is dwarfing turnout in the Democratic Caucuses today. Unless there is something strange in the numbers - which is possible, sometimes caucus math is weird - then this might be a bad sign in a state which has gone blue twice for Obama.

    You think Maine is going to go Republican? No way. If that happens, I'll eat my shorts and post the video on AMT.

    It wouldn't be a bet I would be eager to make, no. But these numbers tonight are surprising.

    I will do the same. (Note to self, check on-line for edible undies... just in case).

    Hopefully all the L.L. Beaners will have a strong turn out.
