So far, the only major voter scandal in this election cycle has come from the right. Of course, we will always have those "My wife's cousin's friend was working at the polls and he said he saw" well documented cases of fraud.

I waited for about an hour yesterday to vote and talked with voters from both parties. My wife, and a few others on both sides were shocked when as they were taking out their id's I told them they didn't need them. They all thought they had to show id. I could have easily said I was my neighbor, just need to say my name and address, and voted.

People steal everyday. People are killed everday. Identity theft happens a lot. I really believe that people will stoop to voting more than once as someone else just to get their person elected. And I'm sure it happens on both sides. There aren't many cases caught sure, but look how easy it is to do which makes it almost impossible to catch.

I'm not afraid of democracy. Why are libs so afraid of making sure the voting process is legit? Once LEGAL voter, one vote. Make the id free to people that can't afford it, which I think it already is. If you can make the effort to get to the polls, you can make the effort once to get your id.

Why are "conservatives" so afraid of democracy?

What's news? A conservative group looking for a problem thinks that they may possibly have found one. SSDD

Photo IDs are fair to cash a check, begin SSS, board a plane, get near or in the DNC Convention, but not to vote?? Rediculous!!

Same day registration and voting opens up pandora's box for fraud. However, for the left, anything goes as long as the cause is safe. Cheatin-is fine as long as no one gets caught. Misappropriation of funds-fine as long as no one gets caught. On and on...

Same day registration is a prescription for cheating. Just another liberal trick!!

SAVE AMERICA-ROMNEY For PRESIDENT!!

"I question anything a conservative think tank has to say about elections. They are more interested in advancing their agenda than ensuring the right to vote. BE"

I support your right to have an opinion. Just as I support those that question the comments and actions of Gary Bartlett.

The undeliverable issue must have crossed party lines. Coming from a Conservative think tank, if it were only letters coming back from people registering Democrat that information would have been added. Instead, they looked at how they registered but didn't record it.

I question anything a conservative think tank has to say about elections. They are more interested in advancing their agenda than ensuring the right to vote.

I would not only take exception to a candidate or party holding a voter registration drive and then shuttling these new voters to early voting sites, which has been done in the past, but I question the entire early voting thing to begin with. There's simply no excuse as to why you cannot make it to your precinct to vote sometime on election day or vote absentee.

Few thoughts from this Lib:

1) We are already issued Voter IDs by the State when our Registration Application is approved: its called the Voter Card. I'll assume every county in NC issues Registered Voters this simple card. 2) In order to receive a Voter Card (thereby having your Registration approved), you must prove to BOE that you are legal. BOE also vets the applications to verify information presented is true. It is already a crime to lie on the application. 3) As to the point of Registering and then immediately voting at early voting sites, I would assume BOE holds those ballots aside until it can be determined if such voter is indeed legal. 4) I actually support Voter ID of some kind, but understand that the cost to the Tax-Payer via additional training and equipment may not offset the statistical likelihood of voting fraud. In other words, we need to figure out how much $$$ is too much $$$ fighting a crime that is so rare...
