And I'm guessing you don't really care about this issue because you don't have a vagina or a daughter. |

Oh that's rich after Northam's race-baiting commercial. Talk about identity politics. You can always trust the liberals to pull out the race card when all else fails. |

| Gillespie for the win in Fairfax. Many more GOP volunteers outside and twice as many signs. |

Her version was the deplorables. |

Reduce benefits. Make localities enforce housing occupancy. Reduce ESOL teachers |

I think that is a bad idea. We want as many abortions as possible because the majority are performed on women who don't want the kid. It is social welfare for a lifetime if female. Social welfare, police and prison costs if a male. |

Dp and I wouldn’t care if a voter ID was required IF our state government ensured everyone could easily have access to one. Have employees of the state board of elections or the secretary of state’s office set up tables at grocery stores, gas stations, churches, and other places where people actually congregate. If you can prove your income is below a certain threshold or you receive certain government services or are a student or over 65, it should be free, otherwise no more than $10-$15. And if you don’t have a birth certificate, someone affiliated with the state would help you get the documentation you need to prove your identity. That’s the only way to make it fair - not the current system of go to the DMV when it’s open during regular business hours when lower income workers are likely to be, well, working, without the benefit of paid leave, and if you don’t have a birth certificate (often applying to poor and elderly African Americans ...) you’re basically screwed. Of course, this endeavor would be quite pricey. But I’m sure it’s worth it to prevent the .000001% of “voter fraud” that exists right??? But somehow these poor and elderly African Americans managed to produce a birth certificate to get a social security number to be eligible for Medicare and Social Security. What are you talking about? There is no one here legally who does not need a government ID to function in our society. If they don't have one, how are they surviving? If they don't have one, all of these anti-Voter ID activists should be helping them get one and then helping them register to vote. From dmv.virginia.gov Virginia ID Fee An ID card costs $2 per year (minimum $10; maximum $16.) You may pay your fees with cash, money order, check, check card or major credit card. THIS. All of the wasted time and energy that anti-voter ID activists spend could so much more productively be spent on ensuring those without ID *get* ID. These activists could be driving those without ID to the DMV to make sure they obtain the needed ID. But no, they'd rather insist that making voter ID mandatory is unconstitutional. 1. People can do both. 2. In Virginia to get an ID card you need 2 forms that prove your identity and 1 that proves your residence. Not everyone has easy, immediate access to their birth certificate, and if you are disenfranchised in any way, what is the second form? Not a lot of poor people have Passports. Student or work IDs are not accepted as primary documents. I am sure for many it's impossible to see why this is an unfair obstacle but I suggest you try volunteering at your local homeless shelter or hospital and talk with the people you encounter. You will hear stories that will expand your understanding. |

You will hear stories that will expand your understanding. No incentive. If people were told they would be given $5,000 for a valid photo ID, everyone would suddenly have an ID and be able to vote. No one has had to fight for the right to vote, so it has no value. |

| The polls consistently show Northam witha solid lead. He’ll win by a similar margin. This really isn’t up for debate. This is a blue state and the election is a formality. This is going to be a great night for Democrats!!!!!!!!!!! |

Northam winning would definitely lift my spirits. It's depressing to think there are so many Rs, voting for the wrong reasons. |

| Polls undercount people afraid support for Gillespie will tar them as racists, when really they're just supporting Gillespie because of his willingness to confront gangs like MS-13. Gillespie +8. |
