Voter fraud actually does happen.

In the recent elections, 6500 voters in NH were "non-resident" voters, using same-day registration.

(In NH you can register on the day of voting, and you don't need to be a resident - only that you are in the process of moving. Basically you "pinky swear" that you will be a NH resident real soon, and they let you vote.)

Of the 6540 people who voted as non-resident, only about 1000 of these actually moved to NH.

The difference between the Republican and Democratic senate election was about 1000 votes.

Neighboring states are predominately democratic, so with a statistical certainty the non-resident vote changed the NH senator from an "R" to a "D" this last election.

This really happened, voter fraud flipped a senate seat, and that senator does not properly represent the interests of her state.

Also, at least 196 of those non-resident voters have voted in more than one state.

We totally need voter ID to prevent abuse.

The small-town lifestyle is not sustainable, and only works when it's being subsidized by the cities. Most of these dying towns don't have any real industry left anyway, so it's time for the people there to pack up and leave. This idea that people in cities need to subsidize little meth infested burgs filled with uneducated disability recipients is bogus.

Rallying "disaffected" Americans to vote "We're applying to to identify patriotic Americans who've become disaffected and cynical, so we can engage them on issues relevant to them, get them registered, get them educated and turn them out to vote."

"The organizing and activating of these extremists, these white supremacists, really could have a detrimental effect on the entire culture of New Hampshire," New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said.

certain isolated incidents

There have been 15 black men killed by police just since Colin Kaepernick started kneeling during the anthem a couple of weeks ago. They're not "isolated incidents" any more.

And if "pulling a gun on law enforcement" is what it takes to get shot by police, why is the guy who set up with his sniper rifle and trained it on FBI at the Bundy standoff still walking around without repercussions?

You know your story about the kid with the BB gun getting killed by police? Look what happens when it's a white guy:

Here's what happens when a white guy points his rifle at cops:

If you'd like, I could go on and on and on. Being white in this country has privileges. One of them is the Second Amendment.

Snowden speaks remotely to Liberty forum crowd in Manchester, N.H.

"Snowden appeared via Skype from Russia, and organizers did not allow the media to video record his remarks."

That's kinda odd. I wonder why the organizers did that and whether it was at Snowden's request?

That would be Lexington and Concord, New Hampshire, right?

Have you ever seen a child support payment that really was equal to half the cost of feeding, clothing, housing, and medical care for the child? It doesn't happen.

Which fantasy world are you living in? How about a man that was jailed because he's refusing to pay significantly more than half of the cost of feeding, clothing, housing and caring for his children:

Or ignoring whether it's half the costs of caring for the children, is 80% of a man's income a fair amount to take? No wonder the guy killed himself:

Oh, and it's not rosy in the US either. Check the stats from New Hampshire before you go on another sexist rant:

Any man that whines about child support isn't a man.

Any woman that wants me to pay for her children lets them grow up in my house. I don't raise them, I don't pay for them. I'm not dealing with the stress and hassle of working for a living if I have to give my income away to someone. I'd rather quit my job and raise my children myself.

If you don't like that, don't fuck me or plan for an abortion.

Yep and how are you going to get those to work? Electronics in a car can mess up, especially if its crashed.

So lets see here, if its going to deactivate then we cant rely on a faraday cage. Those dont turn on and off IIRC. So it has to be electronic. Which means that any car that is currently running will interfere with all nearby cell signals. SO that means you cant use your cell phone ANYWHERE around a running car.

So no cell phones in parking lots, or on the sidewalks of any city really. Hell that will clear up all that iPhone usage in NYC wont it.

A quick google tells me that people having to call 911 from the trunk of their car is something that happens. http://www.wmur.com/news/15432441/detail.html Here is a story of a someone who was kidnapped and called 911 from the trunk of their WORKING car

So obviously your idea was rather poorly thought out, and thank god your not actually someone who could make that law.

Generally they only doctor photos, not report biased stories. Unfortunately, we still don't know what he actually said.
