Vote Fraud Threatens Election

It may be necessary to call out the National Guard to protect the vote.

With reports of fraudulent voters lists being submitted to ACORN and then to state election commissions it is clear that we are reaching a potential crisis.  Even John McCain, the calm hand on the tiller, has said that ACORN threatens the fabric of our society.

What happenned in the ACORN case is that the community organization hired volunteers to register voters.  That can be a lot of work and some of the volunteers submitted phony names to ACORN.  ACORN is required in most states to submit all names to the state for certification and even though they tried to seperate and highlight the potentially fraudulent ones, the fact remains that literally dozens of Ben Dovers, I.P. Freelys, and Haywood Jablomeys could be voting in 2 weeks if the state didn’t look too carefully.

Unfortunately, it seems that only the Republicans really care about vote fraud.  I have a way to stop this kind of fraud and I have yet to find a Republican against it or a Democrat for it.   I propose that we tax the right to vote.  This will not only stop all vote fraud, but will help to pay off the $700,000,000,000 Wall Street bailout.  If somebody wants to vote multiple times, the act of having to pay the tax multiple times would soon make it cost prohibitive.

At one point in this country all the Southen states had poll taxes, but for some reason they seem to have fallen out of favor.  I think if we want to limit our right to vote to the people who are truly qualified to vote it is time to bring it back.  Otherwise, George Bush may be our last legitimately elected President we will ever have.
