It's 57 days until the election.
Yes, I'm counting. I want my college student (away) to get an absentee ballot and vote ONCE for whomever he chooses.
Apparently there are colleges out there telling students to vote twice; once at home and once at college (if a different precinct).
Telling students to commit voter fraud? What are these educators thinking?!
My parents went to a debate today at the College of St. Thomas law school. It was between John Fund of the National Review, and Mike Freeman, Hennepin county attorney. (Minnesota).
They said it was fascinating, and I'm sure it was.
The debate was about voter fraud, and oh the tales that were told....!
Really, it seems a no-brainer that people should prove eligibility to vote in any election. Voter ID is a simple implement to ensure that no one's vote is disenfranchised (including those who legitimately vote).
Unfortunately the facts of voter fraud are daunting and upsetting. It seems that in any election a given number of votes will be disputable, but when you get into the thousands of questionable ballots things can get ugly quickly.
We Minnesotans know just exactly what that's like.
I've talked about the DOMA and the upcoming proposal to amend our state constitution. I've been horrified to see young Christians bow to popular thought regarding marriage, appalled at the simplistic reasoning which sways their thinking to cloudy gray.
Marriage is a civil union of a man and a woman. When you define it any other way you literally open Pandora's box to any sort of union.
And you abandon moral code, instituted by the highest authority that exists: God.
(Don't covet, don't lie, don't steal, don't commit adultery, and don't murder)
Are you ready for that, really? One by one the ten commandments have become suggestions.
I think a world that keeps them as civic law has a much greater chance of happiness than the world that loses them. I happen to think that God had and has still the best ideas. (And graciously merciful He is when we fail!)
Two things to vote for on our ballots here in our great state. Choose wisely, and be sure to vote one ballot.
