The year was 2000. I and several thousand other men and women were serving their country overseas. So, we voted by absentee ballot and mailed the ballots back to the States courtesy of the United States Armed Services. Thinking we had done our civic responsibilty, we went about our lives.
Then election day came. With all the Shenanigans that went on, we had a much bigger surprise. ALL of the ballots from the US Military that went to Florida were not counted. Why, you ask? You see, the Military doesn't use the US Postal Service on their overseas bases, so there is no US Post Mark on the envelopes. Some 200,00 ballots from Military Personnel were not counted because of this. This was a huge fraud upon the men and women who serve this country.
This is NEARLY as major of a crime as Eric Holder refusing to prosecute members of the Black Panther caught in the act on Video in a clear case of voter intimidation during the 2008 Election.

Not important, in the grand scheme of things; I merely thought it interesting he chose to comment.

It is not even the IDs themselves that are the problem, but the way they are being implemented.
