From: "Glenn Meadows" 

In TN, if you haven't voted in 4 years, you're removed from the voter
rolls, and you have to re-register.

I don't know how to handle the homeless, but how do you deliver a voter
registration card to someone without a mailing address?

I think when there are large margins of victory, we all tend to gloss over
the low background noise of potential fraud.  It's when things get really
close, that issues like dead people voting, obviously bogus names on rolls
become the focus.

I'm glad that this did not turn out to be a close call like 2000 was, and
I'm personally glad that the victor got a majority of the total votes (over
50%).  If Kerry had won Ohio, and was over the 270 electoral college
number, but Bush had a 3 million edge in the popular vote, we'd have the
claims of reverse like in 2000.

Personally, I like the electoral college approach, as it tends to even out
the edge large population states could have over less densely populated
states.  It is a very unique system we've got in place, and as a whole,
it's served us very well.
