They need to be able to get these ID’s printed at local places.

And this is why IDs are inherently discriminatory (and I know you already know these points):
1) they’re not free
2) birth certificates or other proof can be difficult to get
3) the GOP makes sure to close these reachable offices for maximum difficulty

There are EIGHT locations that are open more than twice per month. There are EIGHT locations that are only open 1 day per month. Please explain to me how this makes it easier for ND residents to vote. It doesn’t, simple as that. And if you don’t have the proper paperwork on that one day per month?

How come no one is protesting showing ID to buy alcohol or cigarettes? Or prescription meds? Or to receive govt benefits?

How is it the *only* thing people get outraged about having to show ID for, is *voting*? Being required to show ID for all the other stuff is fine with them.

It really is a magical contradiction, isn't it?

Are those things enshrined in our constitution as a right?

Just like free speech and gun ownership has responsibilities attached to them, so does voting.

The responsibility is to go vote. It's not for one group of citizens to do what they can to make it harder for other citizens to vote.

That's like saying that the responsibility of gun owners is to go shoot guns. For practice, maybe. But this is absolutely not all of their responsibility. They have a responsibility to follow gun laws, ensure the safe keeping of their guns, and to exercise all due caution in the handling of their guns.

The responsibility of a voter includes ensuring that he/she follow voting laws to remain eligible to vote.

When someone registers to vote and votes sporadically, the state should not just remove them. It raises a barrier to re-register, particularly when the registration process is altered and is cumbersome. For example, some counties have a central registration location that may only be accessible via car. As another example, the Florida online registration system was down all weekend. How is that fair?

Some people are also not notified that they are no longer registered.

Disgusting.

Yup.

For North Dakota, most who live on a reservation only have Government Issued PO Boxes and their exceedingly rural dwellings don't have street addresses. The simple solution is to put anyone who has a drivers license or government issued ID card onto the voter rolls automatically. But the GOP opposes that too.

Get the right paperwork on that ONE day of the month. ND isn’t asking you to invent cold fusion, they’re saying the right to vote is precious and they are going to protect it from fraud. So get your paperwork in order and go register.

No, the GOP is telling you that the right to vote is so precious they only want whites to exercise that right. There’s no excuse for this.

I’m white, female, and I have to work. When I had to change my license (and voter registration), I went to the DOT hours (please notice that, not only can it be only once or twice per month, it’s not open all day...). I thought I had all my paperwork. I had my passport, my license from another state, two things listed on the website as valid to prove residency. Except both went to the post office box, and while they needed the physical address for internal use, the physical address never appeared on my paperwork. I was there before it opened, sent away two hours later. Due to my job and my amazing former employer, I had the ability to drive back to the house, search around for 45 minutes to try to find something with the physical address. It didn’t exist! I ended up contacting the companies and asking for something in writing stating the physical address, but it didn’t come in bill form. So, when I drove 3 hours to Minot to one of the only offices that is open more than 2 days per month, it was rejected again. It took me 2 months to be able to get paperwork to satisfy DOT and be able to get in to the office. Most people don’t have the same type of flexible schedule I had with that job, nor do they have an employer-provided vehicle with unlimited gas. I had a contract that specified that I must reside in North Dakota (and had an address), but that wasn’t acceptable. I understand that there are tons of transient workers due to the fracking; the barriers to changing either a license or voter registration are ridiculous.

The biggest issue (for all states) is usually proving residency. If someone moves in with a relative or lives in employer-provided housing, trying to prove residency is a nightmare. People without internet access may not realize how much paperwork they need.

The right to vote in the US is fundamental and it should be as easy as possible to be on the rolls. Not voting is a choice. One should not be purged for not voting. Agree?

Disagree. Purge purge purge. The dead shouldn’t be voting. Not even in Chicago.
