Why do all the enlighten progressive European nations including the glorious Sweden have voter ID laws if it is so backwards and racist to have?

There is no reason to believe that considering illegal voters is largely a made up boogeyman, with little to no evidence to support it.

So it's impossible for it to happen?

We've seen tens of thousands of ID-less people disenfranchised in each state or large municipality that has enacted voter ID laws.

Then they should get an ID. If they don't give a shite about getting an ID then they likely don't give a shite about voting either.

The silliness of those links.

From the first one:

quote:

“The old notion that somehow there are all these impostors out there, people not eligible to vote that are voting — it’s a lie,” said Thomas E. Mann,


Well, actually it isn't a lie seeing as people have been caught doing it.

Sorry if I can't take seriously any article that argues there isn't voter fraud when we don't have really any great way of measuring or catching it unless it is self reported.

You missed the word regulated. Pretty easy legal argument that your militia of one is not regulated. Also a very easy legal argument that regulated extends to having to have an ID to purchase a firearm.

OK, so I am well regulated since I have to have a background check to purchase a firearm from a dealer, so I'm GTG.

But lets not be obtuse enough to think that voter ID laws and gun laws are the same. No one ever died from voting.

There are several thousand Iraqis that disagree.

Nice strawman, but it has nothing to do with that


Sure it does. It's subtle racism. No wonder you people project such a dark vision.

This has examples of a bunch of different types of fraud that have been found, for our discussion i'm not concerned with all of them right now. The specific quote I was laughing at deals with #2 in Virginia.

So your 10 cases mean we need a national voter id law that violates the constitution? 10 cases in millions upon millions of votes cast. A statistician would say those are statistically insignificant.

If only yall applied this logic to gun violence. I can find more than 10 cases of that.


Moving the goalposts. Nice try. I never once claimed these were all the cases. You asked for an example, I provided it. This was but one example to the specific quote I was laughing at.
