So you are saying that I should be really mad that [drum roll][/drum roll]

People are too damned stupid to read the words "Liscense No." on the Drivers Liscense or State ID

This is all like saying "There are these bad people in the world called theives and all these poor people that leave their front door's unlocked and stacks of cash on the kitched table are being robbed of their fortunes"
Well shit, with that kind of stupidity against them, the Repubes deserve to win![/b]

Uh, Ramirez, there are TWO numbers on a drivers license. There is one that is above your head and there is another one under your address. I believe that people are using the one that says "license no." directly on your license but no, they want the eleven digit number on your picture. That is not specified. Before you start calling people stupid maybe you should do a little research.

State proposes settlement to voter ID requirement

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The state has proposed settling a lawsuit over a new voter identification law by allowing some absentee ballots to be counted even if an ID was not provided, Ohio's top attorney said today.

A hearing that was supposed to address another aspect of the lawsuit -- whether people voting in person on Tuesday would have to show proof of identification -- was delayed for hours Wednesday while a federal judge discussed the case privately with attorneys.

Attorney General Jim Petro said he would be OK with accepting absentee ballots that do not contain the proper ID information, such as driver's license numbers, because voters have to show some kind of identification just to get an absentee ballot. The settlement would apply only to absentee ballots cast before approval of the proposed settlement.

Labor and poverty groups sued over the law, saying it is causing widespread confusion across the state and that county boards of elections were using different requirements for acceptable identification.

Petro said all issues with ID requirement need to be resolved Wednesday.

The hearing in Judge Algenon Marbley's court comes a day after a federal appeals court said he was wrong to block the ID requirement for absentee ballots. Most counties continued asking absentee voters for IDs after Marbley ruled against the requirement, but some stopped asking for identification.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Marbley's decision, making IDs necessary again.

The appeals court said that Marbley abused his discretion in granting a temporary restraining order against the ID requirement for absentees, and the three-judge panel expressed frustration at last-minute challenges that disrupt the election process.

“There is a strong public interest in smooth and effective administration of the voting laws that mitigates against changing the rules in the middle of the submission of absentee ballots,” Judge Julia Smith Gibbons wrote on behalf of the panel.

James Lee, spokesman for Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, said officials hope Wednesday's court hearing will bring a resolution that will last through Election Day.

Blackwell, the state's chief elections official and the Republican candidate for governor, had not wanted to challenge Marbley's decision last week. Petro, whose staff is representing Blackwell in court, went ahead anyway.
