You can’t drive a car in any state of the union without a driver’s license. To get a license, you must fill out an application, provide an address, birth certificate, or another state I.D.
To cash a check, you must show a valid I.D. and/or a check cashing card from your bank.
To open a bank account, you must fill out a form and show a valid I.D.
To get a credit card, you must fill out an application and show a valid I.D.
To finance a car, a sofa, a boat or a flat screen, you must fill out an application and show a valid I.D.
To apply for welfare or other public assistance, you must show some sort of identification and fill out a legible application.
To receive food stamps, you must apply and provide some I.D.
Given that the public accepts these requirements, for virtually every walk of life, why is it suddenly so important to register and vote the same day or within just a few days, when the system is not prepared to handle a huge influx of citizens suddenly struck with the uncontrollable urge to vote?
Where was this urge during the Primaries? Under a bridge? Pissing in an alley? Bumming for change on the Avenues?
Is it because these folks are born procrastinators? Is it because they forgot there was an election, until some guy giving away cigarettes reminded him?
Is it because, while these freeze dried patriots, who don’t know “Dick“, much less than Dick Cheney or Nancy Pelosi and are suddenly enamored with Obama, but don’t know why or what he stands for. Or, is it because a publicly funded group of Left Wing zealots have figured out a way to “game” the election system in a few battleground states, with the additional incentive of $800k from one of the candidates?
