I was wondering when WI or MI would be mentioned....it's a disturbing pattern and abuse of power from Republicans. Talk about hypocrisy.

As for candidates changing party affiliation close to elections (in an under-handed way to change votes): the same has been said about voters who change their party affiliation just to vote in closed primaries (in an under-handed way to elect a weak candidate from the opposing party). It's just more evidence that our election processes are broken -- because they're dominated by just two very powerful political parties -- and reform is desperately needed.


Rand, I tried to explain the US birth certificate quandary in another thread. You should also know that not all employment requires proof of identity (or a gov't issued ID). It depends on the state, their laws, and the job category. Temporary and/or seasonal workers are often exempted with loopholes that are easy to exploit. And having a SSN isn't mandatory, either.
