I made the mistake of clicking on some of the sites mentioned to see what ‘the left’ had to say about this in Houston. I regret doing that! There are some who say voter fraud does not actually take place until someone actually tries to fraudulently vote. Otherwise, its just someone made a mistake on their voter registration card. Those folks seem to think its OK to flood a registrar’s office w/ what could be thousands of false registrations in an effort to cloud the outcome since no registrar could possibly vet that many new registrations if they arrive, as they typically do, just before an election. As it stands now, there are only 54 days left until the vote, so huge numbers of new registrations to vet means most will not be verified & many will get to vote who should not be able to vote. Seems to me the public would back a new, verifiable, lock-tight voter registration & identification (with photo ID) documentation process, so the public could be reasonably sure their vote was legitimate. Who objects to real registration? Why? Especially if the state goes to the effort & expense of making the process easy for all legitimate voters to get the ID & be registered???
