I can check Adams County site for arrest records. You can see how many times a person has been arrested and for what.

I, for one, would never feel comfortable voting online. Yes, I take advantage of most of the items listed (found it interesting that you came up with them in alphabetical order) but I would prefer that there be a paper trail. The votes in Adams County are tallied electronically yes, but there is an actual paper ballot to correspond with each vote tabulated by the machine. If audited, the votes could be counted by hand. I just think it would be way too easy for the electronic numbers to be altered.

Since in many states you are not required to show ID, it has to be easy to fool the old pol workers. As Nathan Bedford Forest use to say "Get there first with the most." It will work in Ohio now that Mickey Mouse can vote.

"Jimmy John" (whose address was that of a JimmyJohn's in Crown Point IN) is also registered.

At least "Tony Romo" and "Terrel Owens" in Nevada had a little pizzazz. Can't you just hear it "Obama be doin' better when I touch da ball...."

Seriously though, UMR, are you not bothered by all this potential voter fraud?

I mean, you still believe Bush stole the election in 2000 dont' you?

Isn't this far worse if Obama wins by a small margin in these states?
