State Public Advocate Ronald Chen said during last week's presidential primaries, he heard from three people who tried to register to vote on the commercial Web site. They were turned away at the polling place because they were not officially registered.Don't fall for this crap. Voter registration forms have to be signed and mailed-in. You can get your forms at Rock the Vote's website.
Web site charges nearly $10 for voter registration forms [NJ.com] (Thanks, Todd!)

@tom2133: They need to do us a favor and stay home on election day. This sounds like something out of the movie Idiocracy!
]]>@doctor_cos: The funny thing is, it doesn't matter if we vote in NJ. The people of the state voted against funding stem cell research, and Corzine said, "I don't care, we're funding it." This from the same millionare who after not wearing his seatbelt, and getting hurt, donated tax payers money to that hospital in thanks. And I cancomplain b/c I didn't vote for him, but at least I voted.
]]>And they could always refund your card the dollar once they where positive it was you.
So you cant justify it by saying its to prevent people from mass changing addresses or to check your ID because there IS no ID check if you do it any other way but online.
@Git Em SteveDave: Last I looked the purpose of the post office was to deliver me my bills and letters, not spam me with coupons for services I would never use.
]]>It's not as bad as people paying to register, but it's definitely in the same boat.
]]>But is the actual registration filled out by someone in India and then sent in?
]]>Maybe these people shouldn't vote in the first place if they are so uneducated to the process that they decide to vote online.
]]>I'm just impressed that people are that committed to voting.

"My opponent talks about Social Security like it's some kind of government program" GWB 2000
too many stupid people in our country. People who are so ignorant of civics that they think they need to pay in order to vote. And we wonder why we have the administration we have now? Because we deserve it!
]]>revise the current constitutional language concerning denial of the right to vote by deleting the phrase "idiot or insane person" and providing instead that a "person who has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting" shall not enjoy the right of suffrage, be adopted?
Do these people fall under that category?
]]>Kind of like the Dade County Florida voters in 2000, do we really want to count the votes of people that can't figure out how to vote?
