If you're over the age of 16 and want to get Medicaid you have to prove your identity through the use of a state ID.

Common enough I guess that more and more states are making it a requirement.


I find the reasoning for people to not want voter ID to be idiotic. It's a real insult to poor people to suggest they can't afford $5 for an ID.

You seem to be having a very serious problem understanding that a DL isn't the only official ID, even though it's been pointed out numerous times to you.

Im am FINE with voter ID laws. I think its stupid that you can vote without one.

That isn't what this is about, this is about people trying to piss on my leg and tell me its raining.

You need to read the thread again. I've stated no less than three times that I understand this fully. Why it keeps getting brought up I have no idea.

I NEVER said it was the only official ID, NEVER said you had to have one to vote, and NEVER implied anything even remotely close to those statements. It was one small example to the question of how so many black people can lack ID. There are many, many other reasons why, chiefly among them laziness.

Christ.

That's part of the problem. The other part is just a lack of effort to obtain a photo ID.



So, why exactly is it that the people who oppose voter IDs don't instead merely propose exceedingly simple ways to get such an ID? I mean, ya know, while ya'll are killing yourself to devise ways to bus these folks to the polls, maybe you can devise a way to help them get proper ID?

What a stupid article. As presented, this could just as easily indicate we don't catch voter fraud.

The OP swallowed the propaganda technique, hook, line and sinker.

Fail.

Well, it aint like you're going to catch everyone doing it. I mean, ya know, there are people out there that are pretty bright and if there is virtually no official effort to catch it, you're not going to get very big numbers.

All that said. Um, what exactly is the point even if the numbers aren't high? Should we repeal all laws or make no effort to enforce certain laws if it is shown that breaking said law is not terribly common?

How insignificant were 312 votes in Minnesota in 2012?

Roger, how is voter fraud supposed to be proven w/o knowing who voted?

Voter registration fraud is pretty common, so why would you think that voter fraud isn't?

A that's fine to assume it COULD be a problem, but don't insult my intelligence by telling the republican motives behind it are pure. Just say what it is, its a way to keep blacks and Hispanics from voting. Everything else is just political rhetoric.


Just as long as you acknowledge that the Dem's motives behind fighting it aren't pure.

Yes, and some want to prevent efforts to reduce fraud of casting those votes, however insignificant the actual instances of voter fraud might be, under the guise of fighting persecution of minority groups.

Not having to have a valid ID to vote is just fricking stupid.


This. Give me a fricking break. Ids are free in many places for then poor. In some places they can drive a mobile setup to you to get your free Id. Even shithole Mexico installed voter Id. If you can't get an ID in this day and time you just don't fricking want one. Even my 97 year old grandmaw who lived in the boonies drove her old arse impala into town to the DMV to get what she needed

One is based in fantasy, the other in facts a thing that I am sure you can't tell the difference in at all.
