What if the id is free?

Study from the same Center I linked earlier

(From the Foreword of the linked study) -

quote:

---

Federal courts have previously declared that states with restrictive voter ID laws must make the necessary paperwork available for free. Problem solved? Hardly. This report conclusively demonstrates that this promise of free voter ID is a mirage. In the real world, poor voters find shuttered offices, long drives without cars, and with spotty or no bus service, and sometimes prohibitive costs. For these Americans, the promise of our democracy is tangibly distant. It can be measured in miles.

Because Democrats think that blacks are too lazy, stupid, and ignorant to figure out the VERY SIMPLE task of obtaining a FREE state-issued ID.

And then they use the race card to call Republicans racist in their very next sentence.

Nobody ever bitches about having identification to receive government benefits but holy shite you ask a person to have some type of identification to vote and you would think we have armed guards pistol whipping people waiting to cast a ballot

Everybody knows that this is all about voter fraud. But even with a voter ID, there will still be forged signatures and false votes in the crooked, corrupt Democrat precincts. They know who will not show up to vote and the Dem crooks will vote for them.

so these people never leave their home? ever? not even to vote?

If it really was about stopping fraud then you'd think support would be pretty universal, right? Instead, it's almost exclusively pushed by Republicans.

DEMs have lived off voter fraud for generations - to them it is an entitlement. In my lifetime JFK was the first POTUS to be elected by the overwhelming number of dead people who voted for him.

This is very simple. DEMs ensure election advantages by massive voter fraud. Being able to stuff ballot boxes in minority districts is their bread and butter. Nobody can deny this with a straight face.

This is the primary reason the DEMs are so adamant about bringing in more Mexican and Central American aliens. IF there were no possibility of those folks being able to "vote" the DEMs wouldn't care one whit about their fate.

The entire agenda of the DEM party is to acquire an electoral advantage from the most vulnerable of society. They manufacture a dysfunctional culture in the black community that looks to them for their daily sustenance and they import from other countries an contenting string of reliable 'voters' to ensure DEM control at the ballot boxes.

Any sane approach to making sure that only registered voters could vote would be an impediment to DEM political strategy.

The fact that no DEM will even contemplate protecting the ballot box from fraud is the larger issue.

WHO can be against honest elections???

Make ID's free if you make below a certain amount

Hell, I'd go for the 'purple thumb' solution. No cost at all. Show up and vote - ONCE.

Also we need to restrict 'early voting' and 'absentee voting' to make sure that there is little capacity for fraud.

AND - as for the DEMs stance on 'everyone gets to vote' you can tell where their real priorities are by looking at how they treat military voting. Our soldiers in foreign lands struggle to get their votes recorded because of all the barriers put up by DEMs. (could it be because THAT 'demographic' usually votes GOP? and the DEMs don't give a shite about THEIR voting?)

You can replace "black" with "poor" if you want

If we use the term "poor" or someone living in what is defined as "poverty" your argument falls apart according to the numbers.

Big Racist voter suppressor

Who would have known one of the biggest humanitarian leader's in the past century was in reality a bigoted racist who wanted to suppress voters rights!! I mean how dare Nelson Mandela demand his people have an ID to vote, if anybody should have realized what a racist suppressive practice this was, it would be Mandela! What an outrage!!

quote:

why is having an ID to vote so taboo on the left?

---

Because in-person voter fraud is still pretty rare, and that is usually the only type of voting voter ID laws addresses. Think about it, what is the incentive versus the risk of going to the polls to illegally cast a vote in someone else's name? Sure, it's probably a bigger problem in smaller, local elections. So it's throwing a solution at a virtually non-existent problem, and the solution potentially disenfranchises voters. Voters that historically vote Democratic.

The bigger problem is election fraud and both parties are guilty as hell of election fraud. Neither want to do anything about that though.
