In India i have seen people striving to get Voter ID's just to vote in far flung rural areas with mass poverty if anything because they need government more than the well off.

There are flaws at state level including deliberate striking off but the process generally works well with a even bigger and more diverse population. You can also use Driver license and other ID's as long as you check your name on the voter list which political parties also help in doing.

Now there's a whole process going on about getting everyone a Biometric ID which is then linked to subsidies and might be necessary for a bank account in the future also. And a case regarding it being a invasion of privacy is also on in the supreme court at the same time.

I'm sure that is true. Just as the story posted a page or so back is true. But that doesn't mean it should be the norm. Especially in a country so proud of it's democracy. Faced with taking multiple days off (perhaps getting fired) so that you can be 1 of 120,000,000 votes, what would you do?

Wow Florida is ridiculously fast at counting. Already 30% in and its been only 30 mins or so.

A lot of early votes in Florida, counted in advance I presume. Where are you getting 30% from though? Huffpost one I'm using says 10 for Dems and 7 for GOP.
 
NC is "too close to call" according to MSNBC. This was suppose to be an easy win for Trump right?
 
Reports were Trump won the absentee ballots by a huge margin, which is why even with the concerted effort to hurt him in FL...it was meant to be a case of too little too late.




So true :lol:

Yeah, hadn't heard much about him till now but he seems to be gaining traction.

A qualifier for his (potential) win is that he's the Governor of Ohio and Rubio basically gave up there, telling his voters to go Kasich to stop Trump :lol: Remains to be seen whether he'll stay in, he's a long way behind in delegates.

Yeah, would be surprised if anyone catches Trump at this point. Sanders looks done too with those figures considering it's an important state.
 
Really impressive thrashing by Trump in FL. Still this could be a bad night for him in terms of getting to 1237.
 
Rubio says he'll stay in regardless. What is his endgame? Contested convention?
 
FL called for Trump and Clinton.

Bye bye Marcobot. Who will regale us now with tales about their immigrant parents.
 


Evidence of voter fraud in Illinois with 101% of votes being cast.
 
Farewell Marco. :D

Early returns from Ohio is looking very good for Clinton. Along with her big wins in FL and NC, it should be a good night for her. Should stretch the delegate lead.

Huh ? It happens with different demographics varying from state to state depending on party in power almost continously. Though voters and other parties/organizations don't allow it to happen on too much a large scale. For example in panchayat election in Gujarat recently with patels angry after agitation there were widespread allegations of patel voters being struck off lists and what not and it goes on all the time.

Dunno if you are basing it only on Tamil Nadu because it varies a lot state to state but you are generalizing way too much. And yeah, it's not only to vote but for other uses as well you need a ID but to say it's only to take money is ridiculous. And money for vote is a issue especially in states like Tamil nadu with parties like DMK, AIADMK but in a secret ballot it's a reducing one.

Anyway, i'd leave this discussion for another thread/or for the time being on here.

Kejriwal got in trouble for telling voters to take everyone's money/food/saris/booze but vote for whomever they like :lol:
