I agree with No ID, there are quite a few Black people, and people in general, like myself, who don't believe in the election process. And I don't think that people will get enough disenfranchised voters to vote, and cause Obama to win. Though I do hope and think Obama will win I will say this to all of you who question us none voters......."Please, please, please put as pay as much attention to your local (city, schoo, municipal court elections, etc.) as you have for the presidential election. Truth be told, your vote actually counts on the local level. Now for the presidency....not technically. I'm not sayin don't vote. Of course, vote for the president, but ALSO vote for your community. Once we have good officials in the local positions, they can rise to the top. Similar to Obama Election fraud is not a conspiracy theory but a reality.

I don't worry about voter fraud but then I'm in a large city that Obama won handily in the primiaries. But what about the black folks who are unfamiliar or turned off by the voting process? It would seem that the work on the ground would be even getting them to the polls.
