And California allows you to be decline-to-state, and some parties allow decline-to-state voters to vote in their primaries (but never the parties who I want to sway that particular year).
I used to say I was "independent" until I realized my mother thought I voted for the American Independent Party, ugh, when she told me she thought their candidate one year seemed pretty good.
I never presented ID when I registered to vote last. Of course, I listed the previous county I was registered at, and maybe if I go back far enough I had to show ID to register the very first time. But I don't think so, since all those voter registration cards are send in by mail (postage free).
Registration in CA does require a driver's license or state ID card ID, or if you don't have one the last 4 digits of your SSN.
There is voter fraud. It is wide spread. But it's not something solved with voter ID laws. The Daley machine did not have each of those 100 people go into 1000 voting booths. There are vastly easier ways to steal an election than by having someone pretend to be someone else and walk into a voting booth where they could potentially check an ID. Fraud by people pretending to be someone else at a voting station is just a blip compared to the total fraud that goes on.
Remember, the Democrats used to be the favored party of segregationists, until Nixon enticed them to become Republicans. The whole reason for property ownership was the keep blacks in their place and out of the polling station.
How are they voting? They're not on the voting lists. If they ARE figuring this out then we should be seeing stats of how many times someone shows up to vote only to find that they're already checked off the list. All this is just fear mongering, and you hear it over and over, some nutcase will swear he saw several buses of illegals showing up and filed through the polling booths, and then the idiots believe it, repeat it, and it turns into accepted truth.
Have you ever been to college? Fake IDs are trivial to get. The election poll workers are barely trained as it is, they're never going to spot fake IDs. And if the Democrats are as evil as you say they are then they'll get the fake IDs shipped in on crates.
I'm not saying Democrats don't cheat, of course they do. But Republicans cheat too. BOTH parties are full of dishonest people and both of them probably have the same proportion of cheaters. When someone points to one party as the only cheaters then that makes them a partisan and thus not to be trusted to be fair.
That's the problem, the rumors of voter fraud as the polling stations have spread so often that the a lot of people just accept this as fact, enough so that a state run by fiscal conservatives was willing to waste a huge amount of tax payer money to investigate. Today they're probably still convinced that voter fraud is rampant and that they must have done the investigation wrong.
Try being poor sometime and being unable to get a driver's license or state issued ID card, unable to take time off of work to get one, unable to pay the fees, etc.
Just vote by permanent absentee ballot. No ID necessary.
People without driver's licenses are the most likely to forget a special ID used only once very two years. And that tilts towards poor people more often than not, and towards urban core areas (rich or poor). And those people tilt more Democrat as well. So there's a bias built into the statistics that way too.
The way we have it now works. You show up. Your name is on the list. If it's already been scratched off then there's been a problem, and you should NOT be turned away from voting but instead be allowed a provisional ballot. If we keep stats on this (which is not happening often) then we will know how often voter fraud happens at the polling locations which would indicate whether voter ID is even necessary or not. Meanwhile wholesale voter fraud is a bigger issue.
Yes, plenty of changes. Every macbook I see feels like it's had some more pointless changes to it, removal of ports, adding other ports, and so on. I'd like to see them remain the same except for updated internal parts...
The problem was that people were claiming it sucks the moment the movie was announced. They knew nothing about it whatsoever, except for who the leads were. People were not keeping an open mind on it, they declared it bad merely because it was a remake.
Not just breaking into systems though. Let's say someone leaves a laptop unattended while going to the restroom and forgets to lock it. Someone can sit down and use it without permission, modify files, etc, and the spirit of the law should cover that situation. But charging someone who embezzled money from an employer with an additional crime of using a work computer to do so without permission is an overreach. But prosecutors do so to intimidate defendants into a plea bargain. "You're looking at a maximum of 173 years if you're found guilty, maybe you should accept our offer of 5 years minus time served."
And of course whoever wrote the whole computer-without-authorization bill almost certainly intended it to be used for stereotypical hacking cases, almost certainly how it was presented to other legislators when it was voted on.
She stole money, that's it. She used the lottery computer to do so, but that's just a consequence of committing the crime, it should not be an additional crime. That's like tacking on an extra charge that said she put the tickets in her pocket without permission. The defense she gave was only for the tacked on charge of using a computer without authorization, she was still guilty of the original charge so it's hardly a "defense".
Prosecutors are in love with piling on extra extra charges. It's a shotgun approach. If one charge gets remove maybe other ones will stick. It's also done as a way to pile on the maximum sentence and then intimidate the defendant into a plea bargain. Unauthorized computer access, hate crime, using a gun will committing a robber, being under the influence of drugs while committing a robbery, under the influence of drugs and using a gun while committing a hate crime on a computer, etc.
It's also due in part from legistlators who feel they must keep adding new laws to prove that they're tough on crime and not like those other pansy legislators.

It's a lot like electric light rail. You don't turn when one is in the way.

Great movie. People were panning it though without having seen it or previews,.
A network of trolls.
Microsoft has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it further.
Windows Pro lets you defer also. One website recommended this with the phrase "let the Windows Home users be Microsoft's beta testers."
