Let me get this straight -- Iraq should be our model for an electoral system? It's election day. I got mugged in DC late last week and have no picture ID. I'm grateful I didn't lose my right to vote along with my wallet.

Maryland - Darn. Please allow only US Citizens to vote in our state. Please make some rules as to when you can regain the right to vote in the event you spend time in Jail. Please don't create a voting block of illegals and of criminals. Please Maryland - democrats and republicans let the legal residents of Maryland be the ones who vote. Any more I'd just as soon see all the politicians be forced to have a real job instead of one where their special interest and ego's go wild. Jim Goff - Germantown

While I don't see a problem in general with this sort of bill, in a state as notorious for rampant corruption and vote fraud as Maryland I'd be very hesitant to pass such a thing. Maryland would certainly be in my top 3 of states where I'd expect a system like this to lead to massive fraud. Dave

I agree with you David. Only someone who is up to no good themselves would be against voter ID laws. The Democrats objected when the state of Georgia wanted to pass a voter id law saying that old people and poorr people wouldn't be able to get to the town or state offices to obtain a valid ID. This begs the question if they can't get to the correct government office to obtain an ID how will they get thier on election day? Are they all using write-in ballots. But this is beside the point anyhow as the government in Georgia even offered to go to people's homes and bring them to get IDs if they couldn't find thier own transportation yet the Dems still objected. I guess the Dems can't win an election without all that "undocumented worker" (illegal alien) support.

It would have been nice if you had actually mentioned what the reforms are.

Red, Seems to me I've heard that argument, but I don't see any evidence of what you're talking about. Please enlighten me regarding all of these "outrageous laws." And please don't start with laws pertaining to ID requirements. Most other democratic nations, including Iraq, have much higher standards of proof that are required for citizens to vote. Requiring some kind of identification is minor. David

Republicans pass all kinds of outrageous laws, including poll taxes, to block minorities and others from voting. Republican's are well known for voter intimidation, handing out flyers announcing the wrong election day, and vast numbers of other abuses. I'm sure the Diebold machines will just be set to counteract the Maryland changes. I'm glad Maryland is making it easier for people to have there voice heard, that is what Democracy was supposed to be about.
