    Not necessarily on subject (I'm not from pennsylvania) but why aren't voting days on week ends, especially on sundays?

    it makes no sense... all the ridiculous holidays we have and these days arent even mentioned to some... the only thing i can think of.. is... if there was too big a turn out... than anyone could win.. and we can't have people who dont watch tv who arent influenced to vote for who they are told to vote for at tthe polls come election day... too much of a shake up.. someone might win fairly

    Good luck with that, you have to go to 3 different stores to buy different versions of legal products.... in PA.

    I have no idea why voting isn't on the weekend.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    considering 100,000,000 million people voted in 2004 on the normal election day of tuesday... and the fact that there has been a record # of votes in the democratic primaries... and the fact that there will be a record # of primary voters voting today in pennsylvania... that pretty much squashes any conspiracy about the day used for elections...

    not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy :rolleyes:

    I just want Obama to keep it within 5-7 points. That would be a moral victory.

    As a registered independent, I won't be participating today, but it will be interesting to see what Hillary's margin of victory will be.

    no system is perfect. because it's not mandatory people are going to vote or not going to vote. but my state has mail-in ballots which i think is a good way to try and solve that problem. our ballots are sent out may 2 and they are due may 20.

    new hampshire, too

    and kucinich requested the recount and paid $27,000 towards it, my2hands even started a thread about it, i believe...

    but it's odd how some ppl don't really seem to care unless it is against their candidate. a lot of the times it's brushed off as conspiracy and sources that aren't credible....

    has anyone seen hacking democracy? you can watch it online if you have netflix
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    subjective

    but i subjectively disagree and would think voting to keep our health care system virtually the same (except you can get a government plan if you can't get one anywhere else) and our kids off in foreign lands fighting wars would be 'fucking it up'...but to each their own!

    express your right to vote!! the only one you should feel obligated to listen to as to who to vote for is your self

    slow down now... i happen to believe in some conspiracies... vote rigging and ballot stuffing being one of them... that has been going on since the first democratic vote was taken

    did it happen in PA? i dont think so...

    Well as long as you get to pick and choose.

    then make fun of the ones you don't prescribe to....

    Yeah, how convenient for you.

    thats right, i think for myself

    and have no problem poitning out bullshit...

    like roland trying to defend his views of the holocaust in another thread...

    *newsflash* somethings are just flat out ridiculous, and some of my friends on the far left are CONSUMED with conspiracy. and people wonder why we are making no progress? because they are focused on all the wrong things, like obama for instance ;)
