It is Everyone’s Right and Duty to Vote

Dead man walking...to vote.

 by Richard Taylor

This election cycle is crowded with clones of years past, espousing this and proclaiming that with no real substance to ensure what is said can actually be realized.  I guess that’s why they call it a cycle, it always returns and it’s always the same.

We have Jeb, another Bush, which in itself would be unprecedented but another Bush? There are 33 declared candidates, some we know but most we don’t.  The ones we don’t know really don’t have much of a chance and have thrown there “hats” into the ring for some other reasons than seriously running for President.  They may think they can win but it’s very much like some of the contestants on American Idol who are put on the stage for our entertainment and not their ability to sing.

Voting Procedures

Just sent my State's Department of Elections three questions regarding voting rules. You may want to do the same so that you are prepared...

I have three voting-related questions perhaps you can assist me with:

Is there a way to verify that the vote you cast is properly recorded with a digital machine? What is this procedure?

If during voting, you have difficulty or find that there is a technical difficulty, what is the procedure to to get assistance?

Finally, are any non-(YOUR STATE) Department of Election "observers" permitted in polling places or are they allowed by law, or have "observers" been invited to any (YOUR STATE) polling places? If not, and such an individual is witnessed, what is the procedure to have that person removed?
