You didn't read the link I provided did you? If you had you wouldn't have asked that question.

You register to vote by providing an acceptable form of ID that proves Citizenship, among other things. Within 30 days they will send you a Voter Registration Certificate.

When you go to vote you take the VRC with you and you're golden.

If you don't have your VRC with you then you may still vote but you will have to show some I.D. to prove who you are.

Read the link, it's all clearly spelled out. Moryath's Guardian link is crap and so is their argument.

Oh Good Grief. REALLY? That's the best you can do?

Texas has more stringent requirements because they have issues with illegal aliens. A student ID card doesn't prove citizenship and neither does a VA card.

Beyond that your point is ridiculous on its face. Veterans are more likely to vote conservative so why would they want to stop them from voting?

So basically you, and the Guardian, need to go in the "Trolling trolls that trolling" bin.

Consider yourself fed.

So in conclusion your statement that "most" electric vehicles can go 100 miles and recharge in minutes is completely false.

A small number of very expensive electric cars can as well as a yet *unreleased* model from Honda.

Recharging "in minutes" can only be accomplished with specific and expensive chargers that are NOT commonly available anywhere but perhaps the owners garage.

Sorry if I'm coming across as an ass but the reality of EVs is nowhere close to what you portray it to be and it's time some reality get injected into the hyperbole surrounding these vehicles.

I challenge you to name one that can quick charge in minutes without specific, and expensive, high capacity recharge equipment that has a guaranteed range of around 100 miles.

BTW the leaf is 30 minutes with their special 480v recharge station and the EPA is only getting 73 Miles on a charge so don't use that as an example.

Ahem:

You know who else had a Harvard education and caught tons of flak for they way they spoke?

Our last President.

If you feel you're getting the infrastructure, police protection, education, and government that you're paying for then there is nothing I can do for you.

"ervices have been cut back pretty substantially over the last 3 decades or so to the point where infrastructure is beginning to literally fall down. "

Yes, and meanwhile there has been an explosion of six figure salaries in "administration."

"And citizens want police & fire departments, better schools, better public transportation, better water supplies, better sewers, better roads, better bridges, etc. What they dont want is to have to pay for any of it."

We're paying for it NOW and not getting it. Why should we willingly give them MORE money to waste?

A Nook Color is $175. Tell your cheap a$$ room mate to go get their own.

Anecdotal but I bought a ViewSonig G-Tab from woot and rooted it and am running Flashback 10.

I use it constantly around the house. It sees at least 20 hours of use per week.

10 m/s = ~22 MPH. That's pretty low velocity. I don't know where you live but I average higher than that driving around town. The next closest town of any size is 45 minutes away at 75 MPH. After that it's almost 150 minutes at 75 MPH.

As you increase the distances the difference between 75 and 65 is easily detectable in fuel consumption.

So what we have here, courtesy of your time and effort, is that below 22 MPH you're right and above 22 MPH I"m right.

Thanks for your time. It's rare to find someone willing to invest in a post anymore.

You're envisioning the car at 5 MPH. I'm envisioning at 60+ MPH and since power required to overcome air resistance goes up as a CUBE of velocity the power (energy) difference between 60 and 75 is large.

Quit fudging it with thought experiments and do the math. Use the drag coefficient of your Prius if you'd like.

Calculate the power required at 60 MPH and at 75 MPH. How does that compare with the energy requirement for your A/C.

I believe your statement to be incorrect and since you made it YOU get to prove it.
