To avoid problems at the polls, voting districts are asking voters to help out in the following way:

All Republicans are being asked to vote on Tuesday, November 2nd.

All Democrats are being asked to vote on Wednesday, November 3rd.

Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated and helpful in avoiding problems we experienced in the last election.

Also, please be sure to let others know so this election year can be fair and equal for all voters.

Bob, you have really stepped in it this time.
Do you not remember the turmoil in 2000 when the same thing was said. There were investigations and lawsuits.
I have a better idea.
How about this.
To vote in this country one must first take an I.Q. test and score above 120.

Bush would lose....LOL

better yet, let's make the IQ rule apply to the presidency itself....
Bush would still lose...LOL

note: this is from Jan. 14, 2001--well before the doodoo hit the fan...

Unlike John F. Kennedy, who obtained an IQ score of 119, or Al Gore, who achieved scores of 133 and 134 on intelligence tests taken at the beginning of his high school freshman and senior years, no IQ data are available for George W. Bush. But we do know that the young Bush registered a score of 1206 on the SAT, the most widely used test of college aptitude. (The more cerebral Al Gore obtained 1355.)

Statistically, Bush's test performance places him in the top 16 percent of prospective college students — hardly the mark of a dimwit. Of course, the SAT is not designed as an IQ test. But it is highly correlated with general intelligence, to the tune of .80. In plain language, the SAT is two parts a measure of general intelligence and one part a measure of specific scholastic reasoning skills and abilities.

If Bush could score in the top 16 percent of college applicants on the SAT, he would almost certainly rank higher on tests of general intelligence, which are normed with reference to the general population. But even if his rank remained constant at the 84th-percentile level of his SAT score, it would translate to an IQ score of 115.

Ok, I get to vote; I also work at the polls, and where I live, President Bush is going to win, since we are 4/5 republicans! I could give you many helpful hints on how to mess things up, but it would be illegal! If you pray though guys, please keep all the workers in your prayers that day, because I imagine it is going to be a very stressful day! Especially when I think that glassman might make a scene!

no Kate, i will be filming all day to make sure you behave.....
 
Posted by Kate on :
 
Ha ha, at least if you are here filming me all day, you won't be at your poll voting the wrong way!

i don't have to be there Kate....this will be the most watched election ever....


the "hanging chads" of the last election were a joke....
the real crimes were before election day...and attempts were made to do the same things again this time, fortunately, HONEST poeple were aware of what happened......

of course, all of this is just more "spin" from the liberal media....
that's why i'll be spending election day wandering around seeing what's going on at polling places for myself....

Well, believe me, there won't be anything going on at our polls, that will get past me! I will be in charge of getting their identification, and signing them in! We don't punch cards here, we fill in the little oval, with a pencil, which any child can do, usually, and I will personally be escorting them, with the judge, to the court house, to be counted, which is by machine!

relax Kate, i meant no offense...

with all new voter registrations in the last year, i wish you luck just trying to keep the lines moving.....

i expect we will have a large turnout..

Yes, it should be very busy! I don't mind; it keeps us on our toes! I just hope we don't get any irate people, that want to do any screaming!

Or, pray that they fold their ballot, which we tell them not to do, over and over and over, but they still do, and it can't be counted, because the machine can't work with folded ballots!
