Aside from that fairly self-evident comment, you still have to acknowledge that papers' editorial staffs have always and will always endorse candidates. So what? The choice is still up to the individual.
I'll even try to answer my own "so what?". There are way too many in-DUH-viduals mingled in among the thoughtful individuals. And they still have the opportunity to vote. No intelligence required.

I actually believe that voting should be the right of homeowners and students only.

Thats a dirty trick to do, but easy. When I was in the Navy, stationed in Scotland, I sent for my absentee ballot six months before the election. I was excited to be able to vote, it was the first election I was able to vote in. Four months later, and no sign of my ballot. Other people had gotten theirs, so I applied for another one. The day after the election was over, I finally got my ballot. The day after that, I got the second one I sent for. I was sooo angry!

Well now they're playing the technicality game saying that the ballots won't be valid for lack of a non military address.

www.thenextright.com/soren-dayton/is-the-fairfax-county-va-registrar-suppressing-the-military-votehaving lived and worked in fairfax county, and being fairly familiar with the people there, it's a pretty conservative place. Sure it's in a part of Northern Virginia, what some have deemed to be 'liberal' Virginia, or full of "commies", but this ain't necessarily so. Now, the specific issue is that soldiers who havent received official ballots yet, in the past have been able to fill out a general write-in ballot. But the rules state that the ballots must be witnessed at time of sealing to ensure the integrity of the ballot. Now to me this should be a simple remedy to set up. Get your g-dang sgt to stand with pen and clipboard in hand, while overseas servicemen flip and clip their envelopes. But maybe this isn't an official enough witnessing. I think it's all due to a lack of clear communication, and procedural confusion. They need to come up with an acceptible way to get those ballots witnessed. Problem solved. Vast Left-wing conspiracy abated. I don't think anyone in Fairfax VA wants the service men to be disenfranchised. Republicans, OR Democrats. Especially since a great many servicemen will be voting for both candidates. (Yes, Virginia, there are military folks who support Obama.) And Especially because it would be wrong. And supremely underhanded, and I don't think any American would agree with what some folks are implying some dishonest folks are trying to have take place. Standard absentees will still be counted. Some overseas servicemen that havent received their ballots yet, still have an issue. Absentee ballots have an extension period where they can still be counted after election day, so the officials still have time to do this right. But they do need to get it in gear.

Ak
You're working under the assumption there's no plot to steal the election. Obama has funded Acorn to the tune of a lot of money and they (and others) are out doing their best to subvert the will of the people and what no one is willing to say is that the point of commonality is that these people are mostly black. Not all - but mostly.

palestra.net/ is a college site that's been very active investigating the fraud in Ohio. They've been scooping all of the mainstream media. In fact, except for seeing the young women doing the investigation interviewed on Greta van Sustern's "On the Record", I haven't heard a peep about the discovered voting fraud already uncovered in Ohio -- not just voter registration fraud. Mighty corruptions from little ACORNs grow. /e
