10/1    I mailed in my voter registeration and absentee ballot request in
        the SAME envelope.  But today I got a reply from the county saying
        their system does not show I am registered hence they couldn't
        mail me the absentee ballot.  How stupid is that?  Now it is past
        the deadline for both the registration and the basentee ballot.  I
        wanted to exercise my right as a citizen but stupid Santa Clara
        County just won't allow me to do it.
        \_ Are you black, mexican, gay pedophile or transgendered -
           if so contact the ACLU to sue.  Too bad you're name is not Jose or
           Juan-Carlos, then you could vote as many times as you want.
           \_ Oh you poor overprivileged bastard.  If only you were allowed
              to commit voter fraud..
           \_ Yeah, because as the ACLU would tell you, only minorities are
              too stupid to figure out a ballot or how to register.  They
              don't mean it to be patronizing or anything.  They just
              understand the 'difficulties' people from other cultures have
              with our Whitey controlled electoral system.
              \_ Yeah, because we only update the voting facilities of
                 white communities.  Why bother with absentee ballots?
                 They've all been invalidated since Arianna dropped out
                 of the election.
                 \_ Arianna dropping out invalidates nothing.  You're a nut.
                    That's like saying Marey Carey and that dwarf dropped out
                    so it invalidates them.  Nonsense.  Huffington shouldn't
                    have even been in the debates with poll numbers so low.
        \_ Well now you can refuse all responsibility for whatever stupidity
           Juan-Carlos, then you could ote as many times as you want.
           comes out of it, with a clean conscience.
           \_ No, it's now partially his fault if something stupid happens and
              he would've voted for something else.  We need more people like
              you around to not vote so my vote means more.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I

11/4    It's my first time to vote.  What prevents me from voting twice by
        both mailing in my ballot and voting at a poll place?  Thx.
        \_ nothing.  well besides the fact that the local fed prosecutor
           could focus their resources on you and send you to jail for voter
           fraud.  I think it happened to someone a couple years ago.

           Obama recite the same stuff he's been reciting for what feels
           like an eternity at this point?
           \_ I'm undecided between voting for Obama and not voting for either.
