I joined the Fantasy Board because I thought it was fun.
What you are all saying is complete nonsense. You are trying to regulate the Fantasy Forum out of existence. For once I totally agree with States Rights, you are taking the fun out of it.
You all seem to be just concentrated in the process and technicalities and not on the important issues.
I don't see anything wrong with trying to woo inactive voters. Not everybody spends the entire day here, people are busy. Perhaps they joined sometime and then didn't have time to get back. A reminder from a candidate is a good way to try to make them come back and get interested again. Trying to invite people that are active in other forums but not the Fantasy one is great. I got an invitation some months ago and I decided to join; I felt good to get that invitation, because I thought it was just a game of 'insiders' and that it was not really open for everybody. The invitation made me see that it was not that way.
Trying to enroll people and inviting them to vote is a great GOTV effort, this is one thing that we should learn to do if we want to go into real politics.
I don't see anything wrong with bringing inactive voters, as long as they come under their own volition.
Another totally different thing is making up false profiles or invented persons in order to vote, that is fraud. But as I have read here, you are all very good at tracing IP's and all that, so you could enforce that pretty easily.


Thank you Mr PrezMex for standing up with me and being strongly against voter disenfranchisment.
