Are you kidding. Karl is kicking himself for not thinking of it first.

Pre-marked ballots are far cheaper than hacking Diebold voting machines.

Either method is successful in the end.

Something tells me the Dems will out in force in this thread.

It's only prudent. Subby doesn't want religious extremists taking control of our ally's government and with it all of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, does he?

No, this is the only safe option for America's good friend and ally.

Yay for Democracy!

Well, at least he isn't Chavez! He'd, y'know, let the people actually have the vote and stuff! And we all know the people are too stupid to vote! That's why we rig 'em so the right people get elected!

...Is it sad that I'm assuming that half of you will not get this troll?

Damn.

Back when I worked in CA politics, part of my job was to register voters outside of stores like Target, Home Depot, etc. I was working for a Republican, and they made sure to tell us that we had to turn in ALL registrations.....Republican, Democrat.....it didn't matter. If we threw away any registration forms, we would be in deep legal trouble.

/Made sure I didn't lose a single one.

Isn't this the classic opt-out maneuver manure?

Subby, the GOP has done that before - sending out pre-marked absentee ballots.

It's all about efficiency folks. Cut out unnecessary steps where you can.

No, but it is sad that you find yourself clever enough for people to pay any attention to you whatsoever.

"The poll by the International Republican Institute - a U.S. government-financed group that has Republican lawmakers and officials among its directors and senior staff - said ..."

Why is the federal government funding a strictly partisan group?

Gauche, maybe, but certainly not unacceptable.

Is that a rethorical question?
