What I’m addressing here is not so much as to the illegals and other dishonest beings who would cast their votes fraudulently. This is more about the state of Ohio making it so easy to register and cast those fraudulent votes.
I received a card in the mail from the Board of Elections, Stark County, Ohio which spelled out the identification requirements for voters. The way it begins makes it sound like there has been a real effort made to weed out the outlaw voters:
“Voters must bring identification to the polls in order to verify identity.”
So far, so good. And it continues:
“Identification may include a current and valid photo identification, a military identification that shows the voter’s name and current address, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document, other than this reminder or a voter registration notification, that shows the voters name and current address.”
A little too liberal for me but OK, I guess. But it keeps getting worse. After offering all these loopholes around the mandatory provision of a “valid” ID, the card continues to water-down the law by allowing the “voter” to provide only the last four digits if his/her Social Security number, which allows them to cast a “Provisional” ballot. But here comes the bombshell:
“Voters who do not have any of the above forms of identification, including a Social Security number, will still be able to vote by signing an affirmation swearing to the voter’s identity under penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot.”
What a fraud this is! How many liberal DemocRAT and Republicoward legislators teamed up to make this dream come true for every would-be fraudulent voter in the state? Ohio has become a true paradise for ACORN's criminal operation!
How could the state prosecute, let alone track down a low-life, who could make up any name and address in order to cast a “Provisional” ballot? If this is a common procedure in other states, we are all in one big heap of trouble!
I fear the “Land of The Free and The Brave” will soon be swallowed up by the Worthless and The Fraudulent!

UPDATE (10/29/08):
The exalted dictator of the people's state of Ohio, Gov. Strickland (D) has informed pole workers that they must ALLOW THE HOMELESS TO VOTE!
Pole workers can only ask them to supply a "park bench number" or the "location of an oak tree" to confirm their Ohio residency.
A WHLO-640 Radio story also mentioned that a "speeding ticket" could also be accepted.
