Double voting and such has to stop.  All the screaming and moaning about 
being disenfranchised and crap falls on deaf ears when there's outright 
fraud like double voting.  In reality, every time you try to make the 
voting system honest, one side or the other, usually the democrats, 
charge voter fraud, disenfranchisment, etc.   If you get rid of chads 
and use electronic voting, then you hear whining about no paper trail.

   Take this double voting thing: both NY and FL should throw the voter 
registrations out, since double registration is a felony and felons 
supposedly can't vote, so be it.  But I'll guarantee you you'll have Al 
Sharpton to Jesse Jackson on tv about this being a new form of 
disenfranchisement.
