110. That was an absentee vote, no amount of ID would stop that vote
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 01:01 PM by rosebud57
from being cast.

Since you know so much about delivering social services to the poor, perhaps you can explain exactly how we can get that photo ID to all these highly transient people. Going door to door perhaps with mobile birth certificate generators and photo ID equipment? And to prevent them from losing their ID the next time they get evicted or robbed perhaps we can tattoo that ID on their wrist.

Tell you what, I'll meet you at Washington Park across from the Drop Inn Center and we will get started on making those free IDs you talk about. And then we'll go down by the river to catch the people that live under the overpasses when it's not too cold. And then we will go door to door in Over-the-Rhine to make sure all the renters who live in the turn of the century slum lord apartments in between all the vacant boarded or not boarded up condemned buildings get proper ID. Oh, but that is the part of town with the highest crime rate and you say you are scared to get out of your car because you are afraid you might get shot or robbed? OK well maybe those kind of folks don't need to vote.
