I worry because I don't see any awareness among the occupiers of the fact that voter ID laws in important states like Florida and Ohio are about to disenfranchise millions of mostly Democratic voters and rig 2012 for the Plutocratic (Republican) Party. Is the Occupy Movement at all concerned about this? They should be, because the only way to change anything--ie break the corporate control of our government--is at the ballot box.
Voter fraud is itself a fraud, a made up "problem." There is no such thing, only very few isolated cases which are mostly due to misunderstandings and simple human error. Disenfranchising millions of mostly left leaning voters--the elderly, students, and minorities--is, on the other hand, a real problem in this so called democracy, and typical of the Republicans' usual dirty tricks to win at any cost.
