If the guy does not know who or what he is voting for then yes he does NOT have a right to vote.

^^^ what the hell are you talking about? By your logic, everyone who votes is "taking away" each other's rights. Your neighbor has the right to go out and motivate people to vote for the candidate he believes in - this is the way it works. Just because a guy is a homeless alcoholic in your eyes doesn't negate his right to vote.

Read the second paragraph again. Sheesh. Getting out the vote is one thing, buying votes or coercing them out of people who really don't know what they are doing is something else. You seemed to have missed the entire point of the thread.

Encouraging turnout of like minded thinkers is fine. That is not the subject here. Yes, really.

I am against most of these efforts. If my guy loses, oh well, get em next time. I never believe in the ends justify the means mentality. Bussing clueless folks to the polls heightens the chances of a nation governed by clueless folks.
