You don't see a pre-marked registration as a big deal? I guess that figures if you are registered Democrat. You would probably still be one if not for 9/11.
Yes, but I also don't care about what I am registered as....
In todays world of paranoia about agencies looking out for 'rightwing' nuts I think it is a level of protection if the 'powers that be' think I am still a democrat.
As long as my votes are counted, that is what I care about..
To me voter fraud is when people vote multiple times (And I know this is possible because at one time I had 3 different identities which could vote... ie. M Amen, M Umar, M Uman)... But this sucked because I would get three calls per year for jury duty.... I had them clear up my identity so I now only have one name which can vote..
