[Truth]

I understand your embarrassment, Hoot. However, one would be naive to believe that, in some manner or the other, votes aren't "bought" and "sold" in every state.

Whether it is the tombstone voting in Chicago or the illegal immigrants voting in Florida, the practice is widespread. Obviously, photo identification would help. I am convinced that the Democrats garner a lot more illegal votes than do the Republicans since Democrats vehemently oppose any and all efforts to cure this problem. Their opposition has little to do with infringing upon the rights of individuals and much to do with cutting into their core constituencies. Conversely, Republicans support mandatory measures less because they want clean elections and more because they know Democrats get a large majority of the illegal vote.
