We had to have the Supreme Court of the United States rule on this. I want someone to tell me why they think someone who has never opened a bank account, never rented a home, got a loan, bought an alcoholic beverage, never driven a vehicle etc. etc. etc should be able to elect a person to affect legislation that will influence my life.

I'll hang up and listen.

We all know the truth, Democrats thrive on massive voter fraud.

EVERYBODY knows that not requiring ID at the polls, sending out mail-in ballots, etc leads to voter fraud. And yes the Democrats want voter fraud. Yes, the Republicans want to limit voter turnout because they believe that low info voters will vote for whoever promises them the most, whoever has the most celebrity support, etc. Everybody knows these things for an absolute fact.

But it doesn't matter. The truth doesn't matter.

White people should admit, though, that they are reaping what they sowed.

The only people who would really be affected by this are the elderly, who no longer drive or living in nursing homes.

I would also suspect that many of those affected probably don't have the ability of vote without assistance, so are those individuals the ones actually casting the vote?

What common sense tells sane and fair-minded individuals is that people who don't have the moral/civil responsibility impetus to get a photo ID...are furthermore apt to vote for whichever candidate promises them money out of their fellow citizens' pocket. Sure recipe for societal crash and burn. Which is exactly what is coming unless common sense does prevail.

People - and good intentions nws - won't get a pass from either God or Mother Nature. Regardless of the delusion they employ to justify foolish enterprise.

Mud on the survival and prosperity wall.

Reasonable thought, but that's kind of the unfortunate way our system works. I do wish we had an educated electorate.

This just isn't true. It absolutely happens, but Democrats don't thrive on it or win elections with it. Neither do Republicans.

ETA: I do absolutely support Voter ID. There just isn't a reason not to.

I was making an assumption that everyone of those people had a valid drivers license at some point but failed to renew it. Not sure if an expired DL is considered a valid ID?

Well there's hope for you after all FT. Get a little age on you and you'll be all in with the right side.

Because they are US citizens. And just because someone doesn't have ID right now doesn't mean they have never done any of those things.

I would rather have people like you with obvious disabilities in logic and reasoning to stay home on election day.

Exactly.

I agree 100%.

Voter ID law proponents want voters to fit their profile and their standards of what a vote worthy American is

Ask liberals if the the color of a person's skin is any kind of limiting factor regarding a person's abilities, character, work ethic, integrity, etc, and liberals would unanimously tell you that skin color has nothing to do with these factors. And, liberals would be correct in saying that.

But when it comes to the Herculean task of taking the time and effort required to get a valid ID, these same liberals tell us that brown people and black people are less capable of accomplishing this task than are white people (and I would assume Asians, too, since liberals never include them as part of the equation).

Think about that. I mean, really think about that, and then tell me why that isn't one of the most insulting things anybody could possibly say about brown and black people.

I mean I do too, don't get me wrong.

I would idealistically want all citizens to weigh all options and then make a vote.

But does that mean we should value others votes as less than or restrict their ability to do so? I don't think so.
