Well I think non-citizens, non-registered, and the DEAD should not
vote.  I also think national elections should be english ballots
ONLY. 
Every fraudulent voter is a disenfranchisement of qualified voters.

That would be illegal as well.
    
Further people should vote because they want to vote.  Not because
they want to gamble.  If voting isn't important enough in and of
itself to go vote and a person needs a gambling incentive to vote, then I
say that person isn't qualified to vote and shouldn't be voting
anyway.

Its still ILLEGAL.  The county clerk said there was no problem IF
it was not against the law.  The Mayor rightly determined it IS
against the law.
        
Then you quote this bullshit from someone else:
        
        Polls are an
ideal place to access
large numbers of people who need the vaccine."I'm disappointed this
has happened,"he said.
        
So is the local grocery store, church, liquor store.  In fact much
more likely to get MORE people at those places than a single day polling
place event.  If it was really about serving the poor flu shots,
they wouldn't be REQUIRED to do it ONLY at polling places on election
day.  How are the drunks who don't vote supposed to get their flu
shot????  
Don't they deserve a flu shot?  In fact aren't they more in need
of a flu shot than people with enough sense to vote?  Want to get
the poor drunks set up outside the local liquor store or
7-eleven.
        
Its obvious this doesn't have a damn thing to do with flu shots for the
poor from the perspective of the people paying for the program. 
Hence the "funds only for polling place flu shots".

          During early voting
,NOT  on election day
and apparently cleared by the REPUBLICAN County Clerk and the REPUBLICAN
Secretary of State. NO REQUIREMENT TO VOTE in order to get the shots. Just
have to over the age of 50.

          Dr. Douglas Shenson,
the director of the
flu-shot program for the foundation, said he does not know of problems with
the program in any other city.
           
          "It's an entirely
nonpartisan and
nonpolitical activity,"Shenson said."It's not a get-out-the-vote
campaign. It's a get-out-the-vaccine
campaign."

          The "Vote and
Vaccination" clinics are in
Hispanic and black neighborhoods because studies show these ethnic groups
are less likely to get flu shots, said Porfirio Villarreal, a spokesman for
the city's health department.
           
          "This has nothing
to do with politics,"
he said. "It's an initiative to reach people who are at high risk and
would not go to a doctor and clinic, but do take advantage of
voting."
           
           
          I expect you would also
object to giving
people rides to the polls , or handing out absentee ballots.
           
           
          Why do you object to
the local government
setting up free flu shots in poor areas ? Why do you object to free flu
shots for the poor ?

You quoted the part that makes it illegal Robert:
            
            Stephen Williams, the city health
chief, and White
said the terms of the
Amerigroup grant
required a tie to polling
places in medically undeserved areas
where populations are less likely to get vaccinations.

So the "private"
funding REQUIRED that the flu shots be
given out ONLY on election day, and ONLY at polling places.  Yeah that's a
real intent to serve the poor there. Nothing to do with people canvassing
neighborhoods and telling people come on down to vote, will drive you, and
if you do come down and vote you can get a free flu shot.

What if a "private" group wanted to fund some "fun"
into the lives of the poor neighborhoods where there isn't a lot of
"fun" and set up funding for people to vote at a local liquor
store and get a free pint of whiskey of their choice. Would you see any
problems with that?  Because that is EXACTLY the same as this bullshit flu
shot vote fraud scheme.

Are you and Rich against poor people having some free fun and voting at
liquor stores?

              From the article

Before launching the program, Williams' staff consulted with Republican
Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman, the county's top election official,
who offered support provided that the initiative complied with applicable
laws.

Kaufman's spokesman, David Beirne, said erroneous media reports might have
fueled the perception that voting was related to receiving something of
value, which could violate the law. "It's not tied to the voting
practice, which is a critical element," he said. "We did not see
anything on its face to indicate that it would be a clear violation of
election law."

Scott Haywood, a spokesman for Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams,
also a Republican, said in an e-mail that "there is nothing wrong with
a health clinic being located at the same site that voting is taking
place," provided that people weren't required to vote to get the
service.

Stephen Williams, the city health chief, and White said the terms of the
Amerigroup grant required a tie to polling places in medically underserved
areas where populations are less likely to get vaccinations.

                Its the law.  Giving somebody
booze, cigarettes,
money, gold, or a flu
shot is paying for somebody to vote and violated a very specific statute
applicable to that region.

Its also bullshit they were trying to reach medically undeserved areas.
They were trying to pay people to come vote.

"Mayor Bill White ordered a halt Wednesday to the city health department's
privately funded drive to offer flu vaccinations at early voting sites in
predominantly Hispanic and black neighborhoods, amid conservative criticism
that the effort would boost Democratic turnout.

About 1,300 flu shots were given to people age 50 or older in the past three
days under the program, which didn't require the recipients to vote. Health
officials said they were only trying to reach people in medically
underserved communities."
