why do democrats insist on getting ignorant people to vote is it because they believe all Americans are smart enough to vote but choose not to. i prefer that only educated people vote no matter who wins. i don't want people voting for Obama because he is black or McCain because he is white. if you are smart enough to vote then you don't need anyone to tell you to vote i vote because i believe my candidate is whats best for this country.

First, constables are the only law enforcement allowed in the polling places in PA. I elected myself constable with one vote. I didn't accept it because it pays by work done and I couldn't afford to go without income while I waited for the training. Know your state laws. Not all law enforcement are even allowed in.Second, whoever is responsible will be impossible to find. Third, they want the elect to be challenged regardless of who wins. Personally, I plan on refusing to vote for either of the two bail out backers.

Please list succinctly HOW it hurts Democracy. Also, use spell check on your insults.

You didn't read the article. Cops aren't really going to be patrolling polling places, looking for people with outstanding warrants (I'm pretty sure that it's illegal, at least in most places, because I'd hear about it happening in Mississippi if it were legal--trust me). People are trying to suppress voter turnout by spreading this disinformation in college and minority communities.It's sort of like when they pass out fliers indicating that Democrats should actually vote on Wednesday, or when the actual police set up roadblocks in black neighborhoods on voting day. Not everyone in black or college neighborhoods are afraid of the cops because they have a warrant, dude... some people are afraid because the police in that area are actually unjust. I have seen cops walk into law school student's houses without knocking, in clear violation of the 4th amendment,and arrest the owner of the property for telling said police that they couldn't do that (chargers were dropped later, but the kid still has an arrest record). Some people live in areas where "cowboy justice" dominates. Some people are afraid of being beaten or tasered by the police without cause. Because IT HAPPENS.

I'd tell you to go look up something too, but seeing as how you can't spell correctly, you probably wouldn't find the right entry anyway.
