Thanks Spit, no complaints maybe but that nightstick still looked a little intimidating... and the cops put an end to it. What do you think of this? Philly man says he voted a couple times - CNN reporter says, "that's ok."

To the CNN reporters defense he did say it is against the law and he clearly wasn't impressed. I think his "its ok" statement was a way of abruptly ending the conversation with the dill.

Come on Skell, don't tell me you've joined the group that thinks they need to explain the obvious to me.

No prob, in spite of what some think here, ignorance is not one of my traits. I just hated to see someone with whom I have differences but appreciate to get infected with whatever virus that afflicts a few around here.

No probs Steve. But it would take one hell of a sneeze to infect me all the way down under here with whatever it is floating around over there. :D

No not at all. Why not vote on a Saturday when most people don't have to take time off? Id vote no matter what day but i can certainly see how midweek voting would be a hassle for most people.

Over here we vote on a Saturday. It is a ten minute process. You go to your closest school or church, mark your name off on the ballot, fill your tickets out, drop them in the box and then head off to the golf course to resume normal Saturday activities. I don't see how it can be so complicated?? Why is it so difficult? Of course over here we have compulsory voting too.

I would have no problem with a change of the date. The date of the election is set in Federal law and not a constitutional requirement.

I would oppose mandatory voting . A non-vote is as much political expression as a vote is.
