People in Chicago simply walk into a polling precinct, cast a ballot or two, then walk a block down to cast more at another precinct and no one ever calls them on it. I imagine the case is the same for other large urban centers across the country.<br /><br />Now, commiting vote fraud is illegal. And I don't condone lawbreaking. But, perhaps a bit of civil disobedience is in order?<br /><br />I don't believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that casting a ballot for a fictional candidate is a crime. So, how about this...<br /><br />What if, hundreds of conservatives strolled into various polling places in large urban centers across the country and cast ballots for write-in candidates such as "George Washington" or "Thomas Jefferson"?<br /><br />If enough invalid ballots started popping up with names like this, do you think that the Demo-rat party would start to take the prospect of voter ID laws seriously?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552667537069528154noreply@blogger.com
