So, they can call and vote on their expensive Apple phone and vote 4 or more times from their multiple obama phones under a different name and birth date?

Oh how wrong can these states get with the voting. It's crooked enough without doing this.

Prediction: Many will attempt to cast their votes only to find that someone else has done it for them.
