i'm not concerned about "low voter turnout," kris. people that don't know anything about the election or the candidates should not be voting. personally, i think that it should be a lot harder to vote. "motor voter" acts and wisconsin's incredibly easy "register at the polls" system makes it way too easy for the uninformed to skew elections.

don't get me wrong - im not advocating denying any non-felon the right to vote - i just don't see anytihng wrong with making them register in advance. polls are open in most places for over 12 hours, and the option to vote early or by absentee is avaialble to all.

Please be quiet.
I realize I'm merely a guest at your blog, but for the future of my family, I would prefer that conservatives are elected for the foreseeable upcoming election cycles. I'd appreciate you not spouting the liberal mantra.
Higher voter turnout equals Dim victory. Why do you thing Dims are always trying to get every illiterate 16 year old registered to vote when they start driving? They bus the dumbest of the dumb to the pols?
It's because they will all vote for the Dims. And Dims are always the ones who want more people who haven't a clue where the nearest voting booth is to rush right down there and pull the D lever.
Please don't help them.
Thanks.

Just wanted to note that my absentee ballot is on it's way, as i will not be in town that day anyways.

I also wanted to point out some startling stats that compare avg deaths per month from vietnam, iraq, and US murder rates...

FYI - The UAW has in their contract that they have election days off. Why else do you think MI/OH/IL so often favor the Dims?
