It's a normal procedure but has people waving signs and passing out paraphanelia for the money NOT because they believe in the candidate but because of the money they are guaranteed. Meanwhile lesser known candidates who have TRUE volunteers are left lacking. When I ran for city council 2 of my volunteers were approached by two individuals and asked how much they were being paid to promote my candidacy on election day. When they replied "Nothing", they told them that they had a phone number they could call that would guarantee them $100.00 if they went and passed out leaflets for the rival candidates. Money in politics cannot equal true democracy....<br /><br />Alfonso Todd Alfonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944177715765028825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-90688540919175305022013-11-05T13:41:14.202-05:002013-11-05T13:41:14.202-05:00@12:32, i vote at a poll, that few, if any, peopl...@12:32, i vote at a poll, that few, if any, people walk to. i inquired, and a number of people this morning refused to show ID., i assume only out of defiance. yes, i agree that they all have ID for the freebies. michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-14668744303962751122013-11-05T12:32:36.688-05:002013-11-05T12:32:36.688-05:00I'm hoping voter id will finally get court app...I'm hoping voter id will finally get court approval.<br /><br />I don't know it it's true or just BS, but people brag about voting in multiple districts. One person I heard say she moved a couple times and had the ability to vote in each location.<br /><br />I don't understand the claim that people don't have id. You can't cash a check, get medical care or travel without id.

The hypocrisy of his rants only point out his exteremist view that bigger and bloated government is somehow better. It is hopeless.

It is a cornerstone our democracy. On the basis of this ridiculous blog, no one from either side should be able to "manipulate" voters by going door to door. Next, you'd be arguing against the mailers, too. next we'd outlaw political blogs. Under your ill-considered thinking, Mike Schware and Scott Ott manipulated voters this past weekend bc they were canvassing, too. <br /><br />Your real objection is that Democrats just do a better job of GOTV. Instead of trying to improve, you deride democracy. <br /><br />You are like Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, negative about everything. <br />Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.com
