I hope that the 'Anonymous' scenario doesn't happen. Anyone that tries to 'double-vote' should be jailed. I hope the 'ones that are told' use their own thoughts and informtion. It's just sad that, even with the 'old' number of registered voters, that so many don't vote, and don't care, even when there's candidates they support because they're worthy of support. Mass-transit of ill-informed, illegal voters would be as bad as the Fla. 'no count' vote.

Along with that historically high new-voter registration will be an influx of people who are just voting for Obama because they were told to. We'll also get the chance to see double votes, as out-of-state students register in the county they go to school in and also request absentee ballots from their home state.

Thanks for the concise information about voter registration. It is a must that folks not only register, but go to the polls. The more voters, the better for the USA. I hope we have historically high new-voter registrations and numbers of voters in November; I believe we will!
