Do you think the political parties of Fort Wayne Indiana wants all eligible African-Americans or Latinos to vote? H--LL No, because they know how many represent the city and would turn the elections upside down. Come on people!! You would of thought the NAACP leadership would boycott this mess. I'll settle for them just answering my letter. In the meantime this is for the voters:
All voters must provide government-issued photo ID as proof of identity before casting their ballot in person. If an individual registers through the mail to vote in Indiana for the first time and does not provide the Allen County Registration Office with identification to verify residency, that voter will cast a provisional ballot, a ballot that can be challenged due to irregularities because of his or her voter registration record, if this information is not provided when voting in person.
Voter ID Give Me A Break (Also, if you check the insert in your NIPSCO Gas Bill you will find similar information)
November 7, 2006, go to the poll and vote even if you don't have your ID. Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006 - (Sec. 2) Amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit the appropriate state or local election official from providing a federal election ballot to an individual who desires to vote in person unless the individual presents to the official:
(1) a government-issued, current, and valid photo identification (ID);
or (2) for regularly scheduled federal general elections held in November 2010 and subsequent years, a government-issued, current, and valid photo ID for which the individual was required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship as a condition for issuance of the ID.
Requires an individual who does not present such an ID to be permitted to cast a provisional ballot in such an election.
Requires such individual, however, to present the required ID within 48 hours after casting the provisional ballot, or the appropriate state or local election official may not determine the individual's eligibility to vote. Requires individuals who vote other than in person in a federal election (for example, by mail) to submit a copy of such a photo ID with a ballot, or the appropriate official may not accept the ballot.
Exempts from this requirement the absentee ballot of any eligible overseas military voter absent from the United States by reason of active duty or service.(Sec. 3) Requires states to establish a program to provide photo IDs in accordance with this Act to individuals who desire to vote but do not otherwise possess a government-issued photo ID. Provides that, if a state charges a fee for providing such a photo ID, the fee: (1) may not exceed the reasonable cost to the state of providing the ID; and (2) may not be charged to any individual who provides an attestation that the individual is unable to afford the fee.
Prohibits the use of any such photo IDs for any state or local government program or function other than election administration. Requires the Election Assistance Commission to make payments to states to cover the costs incurred in providing photo IDs to individuals unable to afford the fee that would otherwise be charged.Authorizes appropriations for FY2008 and following fiscal years.
You need to know who to vote for and who is representing your* district:
My personal example,
Precinct: 563
Voting District: U.S. Congress 3
State Senate 15
State Representative 81
County Council 1
Township Wayne
Your voting location VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET!!!!!
Rember when they had the poll taxes and having to recite parts of the Constitution, probably not. But the shuffling of the polling places is no different.
Know where to cast your vote.
This what you will hear at the end of the election, voting turnout was so low!!! Duh, make it easy for the folks.
Great post!!!
