Elections have consequences:-(
I wonder what Gessler’s buddy Alan Philp is up to these days?
Gessler had better step back from the partisan podium for a bit, wake up, and realize that as winner of this election he’s supposed to run a fair, efficient, and non-partisan state executive office.
Too much partisan crap and he’s going to find himself in trouble, either legal or recall, sooner or later.
He said so on at least one TV station “debate” (actually a joint interview) that I watched during the campaign.
The people voted him in anyway.
The Senate won’t pass any of this shit. And it’s unlikely that the Governor would sign it even if it passed. It’s come up before.
Just the same, I suppose I ought to order a copy of my birth certificate from the State of New Jersey. Italians and Mexicans, sometimes its hard to tell us swarthy people apart.
I wound up having to visit the courthouse in NJ in person; they wouldn’t ship me one to my house.
There’s a “contractor” who you can pay a little bit (a lot) more and those problems go away.
They can pick it up for you. That might save you from “contracting” the job out.
Or you might be able to get a cheap ticket to Newark. Of course, then you have to pay to leave the state! 🙂
I’m an old fart.
Still have a shitload of cousins there, however.
In PA, you go to the website, order a copy and it appears within 5 to 10 days…..it is computer generated and looks just like the one Obama posted.
If you want the so-called “long form,” you have to get a court order. Evidently, the so-called “long form” is very easy to duplicate and so the computer format is used.
Or, you can just call boyles and he will tell you whether what you have is legitimate or not. We have, of course, out sourced many governmental functions to talk radio…determining the authenticity of birth records is only one case.
does he get to waive the fines and penalties previously imposed on him?
The only reason Rs push this nonsense isn’t because there is a shred of evidence that non- citizen voting is a problem. It’s to intimidate minority citizens and suppress voter turnout among this Dem friendly demographic. There is no other explanation for the inordinate amount of attention R pols pay to this non-problem. Oh wait. It also appeals to their bigoted base.
Example- if someone owns a 2nd home in Colorado, say Telluride. And is registered to vote in the state where their primary residence is located, say Florida. I don’t want them voting in Colorado.
OTOH – she’ll have a photo id. Whereas the sometimes homelss, highly transient, sometimes living on a friend’s couch, who is a CO resident I do want to vote. And he is more likely not to have a photo id. Or a current registration. Etc
Let’s fix it with a national ID.
no evidence has ever shown that fraudulent voting by non-citizens or people or with no legal residency is a problem of any significant magnitude. I don’t even object to a national ID. information about all of us is ridiculously easy to come by as it is so worrying about the Big Brother aspect seems kind of silly. Big Brother is already alive and well. All I’m saying is that when you look at R priorities they have little relation to the seriousness of the problem (illegal aliens voting, the 6% of funding that NPR gets from federal and state funding compared to, say, the impending death of the middle class as we know it)) and everything to do with drumming up divisive issues for the sake of getting people excited or, if it has any relation to elections, suppressing the vote, always good for Rs.
Can fraudulent voting be a problem? Sure. Is there any evidence it’s a major problem? No. Aren’t there a lot more important things that ought to head any list of priorities? Tons. Has voter suppression via various means been more frequently uncovered and prosecuted in recent elections than illegal voting? Absolutely. It is highly doubtful that in recent elections there has been a large enough number of illegal votes cast to effect the outcome. It’s a stupid number one priority.
So there’s no particular reason for paranoia concerning a national ID. Too late for old fashioned privacy anyway. The entire concept seems to be becoming quaint whether external or from any internal desire for privacy. Remember the days when girls locked their diaries? Now they post details of their most personal moments with photos on the the internet.
I would think the #1 priority would be fixing the problems from the most recent election ~ say Arapahoe County running out of ballots (same day the County Clerk, Nancy Doty (R) was winning her re-election).
Or perhaps collecting the biggest fines and penalties owed for campaign finance violations (Gessler (R)).
Or figuring out who/what/how the Dr Evil initiatives got ont he ballot (this time.)
Not gonna happen.
work on making it easier for legitimate voters to vote and have their votes count first but I’m not a Republican. In our culture, it’s also way more common for citizens to blow off voting than to try to do it illegally.
that talk of requiring a national ID was a dirty pinko commie plot to take over America, and any red-blooded, true, patriotic American (defined as “Republican”) was totally, completely opposed to a national ID. It seems that, like with the Patriot Act (which Republicans of those days would have opposed), principles change when the political objectives change.
There has been a bill like what our new Secretary of State is talking about for several years.
The only good that has come out of it was that in 2008 it was found that in state statute people below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level were entitled to a free State ID. Although, actually getting state statue put into practice is proving to be difficult, at best.
To ignore the profound impact that the so-called “birther” movement has had on the electorate is to be SOMA addicted.
The President’s credibility has been damaged by the claim that he is not a natural born citizen. That speaks directly to how do you determine citizenship and what credentials are valid.
The claim is that also Acorn registered millions of illegals and that is how Obama won in the first place.
You are attempting to dismiss the problem by appealing to facts. The only fact which is relevant here is that the Republicans just had their greatest Congressional victory since 1946.
that’s what he’s going to do. When will the people wake up and demand change …
oh, wait, they just voted in this idiot.
There is one Democrat that can be “thanked” for down ticket races being under funded.
He’s off working overseas in the NGO position he had in his pocket the whole time.
You don’t need me to tell you who he is.
On the bright side; it’s apparently never ending. (sigh)
than reliving that awesome primary every day for forever.
BFuck if I know?(Yeah, well, it’s late; I’m tired and oddly sober.)
facts.
Ramundo, your guy won. Get over it.
Great attention to detail.
