The 56 page document that outlines the Democrat platform contains few surprises yet is still frightening in the breadth and depth of promises for providing economic support (do you want to develop Guam? See page 57!) and entitlement programs (more money for starving artists — see page 49).

But what is surprising is the open opposition to measures designed to combat voter fraud (page 56):

Democrats openly admit that they are willing to fight for a system in which illegal aliens, felons, and even the neighbor’s dog can vote in every election. Yet even at that, one wonders if their "Count Every Vote" will continue to discriminate against the men and women fighting for our freedoms on foreign soil just because their ballots come back without a dated postmark. [OK, so I don't really wonder -- I know they'll oppose military votes.]

HT to A Disgruntled Republican, who notes:

This may be the most radical plank ever in any major party’s platform. What would happen it there were no laws requiring identification to register to vote or to cast a vote? Dead people would vote. Illegal aliens would vote. Underage people would vote. Some people would go from polling place to polling place and vote again and again and again. With early voting, the same individual could vote literally dozens, if not hundreds, of times.
