Ignore
|

Response to Original message |
| 23. It is illegal to suggest how someone should vote in any way within 100 feet of a polling place, |
|
but he didn't actually say you should vote republican. Had he mentioned a party or candidate, or proposition directly, then he should be reported and never permitted to work in a polling place again. I personally think what he said crossed the line, but did not actually break voting law because it was indirect.
|
| -Just had a bad experience at the voting place. I know I should have done something, but I don't know |

I think the card is just a RAM chip that loads your infomation onto the voting machine. |
