What's the deal? I am pretty sure that wasn't legal?

Dear Duphii: Pretty sure that's illegal.

It's easy to determine the polling judges if you KNOW anything about it. The minority party in the precinct only has a seat to make sure that the other side is following election rules.

And DT I was voting Republican and Independent that time.
Looks to me like alot of these Alleged Voters and Participants know SQUAT about elections and voting. Nice. Wasn't hard to bring you out at all.

I love how people refuse to believe it could happen and question my sincerity. Even a supposed election official here, knowing it's not legal claims I am making it up. It happened to everyone in that polling place.

I sure hope a Republican challenges me at the polls this year. He'll get cold ******.

"Voter fraud" fraud
Posted by Mark Kleiman
Election time is coming, so the right blogosphere is, as usual, all a-twitter about "voter fraud," which in their parlance always means voting by those ineligible to vote, not depriving those who are eligible of the right to vote as in Florida in 2000 or Ohio this year, or misrecording or miscounting of votes in badly designed (or deliberately misdesigned) high-tech voting systems.
The latest version of this fan-dance comes from Jonathan Adler at the Volokh Conspiracy, and has been gleefully linked to by Glenn Reynolds. It seems that the Poughkeepsie Journal has found 77,000 dead people on the voter rolls in New York State, of whom 2600 may have voted. Moreover, "Democrats are more successful at voting after death than Republicans, by a margin of four-to-one, largely because so many dead people seem to vote in Democrat-dominated New York City."

As an election judge myself, I think you are blowing smoke. Do your judges wear badges telling party affiliation? I don't think so. Law requires that have have both parties present and conducting business. So you are saying that the GOP judges took voters into a room and questioned their citizenship? Like I said blowing smoke and you've duped some gullible people here. Of course those people want to believe lies like this.

Unless the ID was paid for by the state I think it would fall under the constitutional amendment that outlaws poll taxes. If you have to spend money to obtain an ID to vote then you are being forced to pay a poll tax.

good for you,
Your vote was not subverted by people voting illegally in your district and skewing the result of your precinct.
You lucky SOB.
of course I think that is illegal--the dims propose letting anyone vote anywhere and then having your electoral officials try to figure out if they voted legally or not--this usually takes months and by then--it does not matter. the election results must be finalized in less time and by then--the candidate has already been in office for months.

I am pretty sure it is legal. There's nothing to fear if you're a citizen. If you are not, let's hope there is MUCH to fear, since voting while not being an American citizen is ILLEGAL, but since a lot of districts aren't making some show valid ID's, illegals get to vote, anyway!

A valid ID is REQUIRED in order to vote. This is not a partisan issue but another fine example of the liberal approach to criticize anything they dislike and blaming conservatives for it. You are being brainwashed and look foolish in the process.

republicans dont control your polling place so I doubt your story is true. Every polling place is worked and observed by members of both parties. Having said that, we should require photo id to vote- I am even willing for us to help pay for the $2 it would take to get one for "poor" people who cant afford one yet can afford beer by the truckload and cigarettes by the boat load

To answer your question;
It is legal, Wow I missed the big buttons on the polling workers stating their party affiliation.

You should have to present valid ID when you vote. How do you know that someone isn't claiming to be you and vote in your place?
