Part of that is due to the fact that voting is compulsary here in Australia. I don't even know if fraud is possible, it's very doubtful. I would like to see America create some system of registration to eliminate fraud altogether. Maybe they should study what they do here, and adapt it to our voluntary voting system. It seems to be much more efficient in Australia. Compulsary voting even seems like a good idea in some ways to me, really, but Americans believe it to be a right, not a responsability.
The system here in Australia is far more efficient. You go to the Electoral Commission to register, and then on polling day, you can go and vote. Nobody is going out and canvassing anybody with quotas to maintain.
Which is one of the reasons I have said for years (at least 8 anyway) that the whole system needs to be tossed, and a new one put in place. With today's technology, there is absolutely no reason for these stupid things to even be happening. And these are the things which cause people to call them 'Mickey Mouse' elections. It looks good to the world, that we allow the people to vote for our public servants. But what is the value of each vote, when there are so many false ones out there? It sure goes down, doesn't it? It's no wonder people get discouraged, and don't bother.---Oh, and I didn't know it had to be Disney characters. I'll keep this in mind, in my future write-ins.
OK lets say that they DO get enough people together to actually use these fake registrations. Now these people do not know which have been checked and which have not. Are they just going to go in, blindly hoping that the voter registration that they had memorised had not been double checked? Come on. What you are saying is ridiculous AND self contradictory. Trying to vote on the offchance that one of the fraudulent enrolments slipped through the cracks is a complete waste of time.
But they HAVE to put all the registrations through, even IF they red flag them. It is ILLEGAL for them to NOT put them through, and rightly so. They are the victims here. They are being put in an impossible situation. Either not submit the (redflagged) enrolments and break the law or submit them, and be accused of voter fraud.
and i have said if the state does not require voter id to vote, yes they can get away with it.....the democrats fight to prevent states from requiring voter id to vote....look it up phil...
LINK.....underpaid or not it is wrong and some will slip through the cracks....as tight as this election is going to be, voter fraud of any kind can NOT be tolerated
Exactly. The people who are doing it are underpaid, and working to quota. So what do they do? They make up their quotas by filling in the names of Disney characters or sports teams.
I have a feeling that it was somebody making a cynical statement toward the way things are done in the US. With the last election, problems with Bush for the second time around, my friends in Ohio began to refer to it as 'Mickey Mouse elections'. They'd say "Why bother voting - it's just a Mickey Mouse election anyway." I doubt if anybody planned on actually showing up under that name.
Such a vote is unusable. I have said this numerous times. If somebody comes up to a polling station and is registered as Mickey Mouse, then they would immediately be redflagged. Polls workers are not that stupid. Things have to change, because the current system is encouraging workers to register people without regard to whether or not they are eligible, and therefore make bogus registrations.
Although I do see a sort of twisted cynical humour in it, as I was just talking about not writing him in as a candidate. Has Charlie Brown registered yet? (It's getting ridiculous)
