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.
