…in certain areas of the USA that are controlled by political machines. take Cook County (Chicago, Ill), or Boston, MA.these areas have been run by corrupt machines for years…and the key to their power is:
(1) Voter apathy
(2) Crooked voting roles
Basically, in Boston, you have voting wards controlled by “Bosses”. These guys maintain the voting roles, and insure that every time a registered voter passes on, their name is retained on the roles. In some wards, people dead for more than 60 years were still “voting”. You also have to send workers into nursing homes, hospitals, etc., so that senile and half-dead voters will still be regstering their “preferences”. You also makeit VERY difficult for new memebers ofthe community tovote. "Walking around: money is usually dispensed tokeep newly arrived voters from upsetting the apple cart.
So yes, we SHOULD have dyes on thumbs…it might change things in the corrupt democrat machine cities.
In the next U.S. election, most voter interference will be perpetrated by people wielding jars of ink near the polls who will jam the fingers of likely opposition voters into the ink to prevent them from voting.
I have certainly heard about these problems happening in the past, but I have not heard that they continue today. Do you have any cites or further information about these problems?
