Of course the Democrats always use the Get out the Dead vote. How many deceased Democrats will vote this year?

I vote 5+%. They are desperate to steal another one.

I've always known that the Republicans have used the get out the dead vote? We'll have to agree to disagree on that one States. As for this question I'll say 1-2%.

The Democrats are getting out the Dead vote.

And the Republicans are using the "Use Physical Force to Keep Minorities from Voting method".


Why do they even bother holding elections?

Links? You are, by far, the most extreme libertarian here.

0%. First of all, judging by how long the world has been around, and how many of the dead are citizens of the United States, only maybe 4% of the dead is elligible to vote. Additionally, the likelihood that even 1-in-4 elligible deceased voters will be voting is very low.

I was kidding.

But I can see something along those lines happening.

They start by trying to buy your vote, and if you refuse money, then why wouldn't they hijack it?

You want links.  You should talk.  Give links to your claims.  If there is a problem with dead people voting we should certainly do something about it what you are doing though is pointing fingers for crimes that you cannot verify.  Both sides should come together and clean up elections, we really should have done it after 2000.  I wonder why Bush didn't take any leadership on that issue.

Who me? No I don't think the presidency is a dictatorship. Far from but if nothing else the 2000 election was controversial and I think it presented a unique oportunity to make the elections more transperant.  One person - one vote.  America would have supported in it.  Bush could have taken the high road and helped prevent the type of constitutional crisis we almost suffered from never happening again.  Congress and the President couuld ask the states to review there laws and ballots, we could create national standards that were seen as fair on all sides.  We could have done this and we didn't and there is a reason we did not.

Very good Phillip.  What we have to do is protect that right.  Obviously there are still flaws that we both like to gripe about so we need to do something to fix it.  Or perhaps that isn't the right word.  We need to do something to correct it. To guarantee that one person gets one vote.

Stories used to go around Democrat circles in Texas that LBJ swung the dead vote for Kennedy in 1960.  Dead people in south Texas, duval County, voted and they did it in alphabetical order.  Funny old Demo story.  LBJ did steal more than one election in Texas.

There is no proof for that whatsoever.

It is also highly unlikely that vote fraud could account for more than 1 out of every 50 votes statewide. Not to mention that assumes there was absolutely no Republican fraud at all (a naive and/or partisan assumption).

chill...that is an old story from Democrat friends of mine who are Yellow Dog Demos from Texas.  I didn't state it as fact.  Just a funny "tale".

Ok. It's just that I've heard others claim it is true.
