But voting by mail, or e-mail, needs to be eliminated. Totally. Period. The likelihood of fraud is so high that it’s unacceptable, even for handicapped folks who can’t do it any other way. I’d rather send an official out to visit them than allow any exceptions.

Based on Fiscal Year 2010 information, the Department of Public Safety issued 107,094 photo IDs to U.S. citizens of voting age. The individuals were assessed $14 per ID to offset a portion of the $17.92 cost per ID. The cost is estimated to remain the same, but the assessment will no longer be allowable under the provision of Initiative 27. Therefore, the Department of Public Safety is estimated to see a loss of revenue of approximately $1,499,000.

This is a solution in search of a problem. Very few cases of voter fraud involve not showing photo ID.

If we really want people to show an ID in order to vote, then we simply have to stop charging fees to acquire an ID. Otherwise, requiring an ID for casting votes is equivalent to a poll tax, which is a classic method of voter suppression.

I agree. The cost to give a state-issued photo ID to the very few people who don’t have a driver’s license is trivial.

Every election, one computer expert or another writes about simple ways to break into electronic voting systems and mess with the vote totals. I don’t get all the outrage over a handful of individual voter fraud cases while we never do anything about the lack of security and accountability in the vote counts of entire counties.

Michael Chaney’s #18 example happens to fall into the absentee ballot fraud category.

In Minnesota at least, most of the “voter fraud” conducted in person at a polling place appears to involve felons casting a vote.

Including fatal police shootings and other killings deemed justified, the county has had 42 homicides this year, up from 32 during the same time last year. Much of that increase was driven by an unusually violent January, when 16 people were killed, including 13 in the first 12 days.

I wonder how many of the 42 homicides were fatal police shootings and other killings deemed justified.

The Prince George’s County Police is corrupt to the core

The PG County GOVERNMENT is corrupt to the core. The entire damn operation, from the council chair to the lowliest bureaucrat.

The State exists to oppress you. Justice will not be achieved via the machinations of The State.

I understand that FCPD SWAT Officer Deval Bullock who unjustly shot and killed my son on Jan. 24, 2006, is also an “And still,”………he was promoted to detective.

never understood why the “we got the wrong address” excuse works? In the best case scenario where they actually do just get the wrong address, they are still committing; illegal breaking and entering; assault and battery; destruction of private property; along with a lengthy list of civil rights violations.

“When the president the SWAT team does it, that means it is not illegal.”

It’s only common sense! These same fortifications keep burglars from breaking-and-entering. The doors and windows on most houses are a bad joke.

- Hardened glass in your windows is not expensive – the first time your kid mis-throws a rock, you’ve paid for the investment.

- House doors – all of them – should be solid wood or metal-core, with a locking system that secures the door not only on the side, but also top and bottom.

- Decent, modern keys, not the standard cut-key garbage that anyone with a file can copy.

Anyone renovating their house ought to put in these “fortifications” – they are only common sense.

I’m not sure what’s going on here, but in PG county there is both a police department and an elected sheriff. Nobody likes to talk about it, but the chief of police does not seem to report to the highest elected law enforcement officer in the county.

IIRC, there wasn’t a warrant when the police raided Cheye Calvo’s home, and I don’t understand why the Sheriff’s SWAT thugs would enforce the Police Department’s warrant anyway.

The scariest thing to me, these days, is that we are rapidly approaching a point, here in America of all places, where such structural modifications aren’t a sign of criminality or paranoia, but simply good common sense.
