Mortor cycle gang members can't wear there colors in most bars in my area. I voted today nothing that intimidating except the lines were slow, a whole 20 minutes, amazing. I say just vote! No matter who is in your way AMERICANS! Rick Leventhal outstanding report, can you just imagine a “Black Panther” as a poll watcher all dressed up in his so called uniform.

The Constitution lays out provisions under which the state cannot block your access to vote but it does not set up your right TO vote in federal elections. That is a state issue. If there was a "right to vote" in federal elections the Electoral College would simply not exist. There is no such thing as a constitutional right to vote… why do people keep perpetuating this myth!

Something MUST be done about this. Even though these young men and women are fighting for our country they might loose their opportunity for their Presidential/Vice Presidential vote to count just because of the recklessness of some person or group that did not do what is necessary to get these votes back here in time. Makes one wonder if maybe it wasn't done on purpose. We should do everything possible to have their votes count even if it means holding the final count open until the ballots get here from Afganistan. Please verify that you have received this and please let me know if there's a group being organized that is working on this. I will do anything I can do to help get these votes counted. Please suggest that the final count is not given until these ballots are received, counted and inclued in the final tally. I am sure that I am not the only one complaining about this.
