Please tell me.

Australia is on example of no ID required. Most countries that require voter ID also have a national voter database. Many people have voiced support for a national voter database in the US. I know I’ve posted at least twice on DCUM to support it in just the last month. Do you agree that’s what we should do? It ensures only eligible voters can vote, it is a national system so more protected against interference, it is less susceptible to voter suppression like we see in many states and localities, and it has the support of the federal govt so we can ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to get the ID. Sounds great, right? Let’s hear any legitimate reasons Republicans oppose it.

A Republican is proposing one.

It tends to be Democrats who are against voter IDs, fwiw.

We’re against voter IDs because a) there’s not that much voter fraud - and it’s usually GOPpers who are doing it b) there’s no uniformity or common sense in what’s acceptable c) the way they’re implemented is almost always the most racist, precision targeted tool to block Democratic voters. Every time.

The GOP only wins by cheating. Gerrymandering. Voter suppression. Treason. And you goppers have to admit you’re okay with denying people their right to vote, because that’s what you keep supporting. GOP voters are a bunch of ignorant and dirty cheaters.

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?

Nah they're just required for daily life.

Same i might add for buying a house, visiting the social security office, applying for most government benefits, cashing checks, western union, and establishing a bank account.

You forgot the part about how you have to show ID to buy groceries.

no just SNAP. big secondary market too.

WOW. Despicable.

Details matter. Can liberals not read?

Kansas Elections Director Bryan Caskey said Cox had no choice but to move the polling site due to the road construction, adding she did the best she could to find a suitable location. She also contacted every voter and sent out advance voting applications in English and Spanish, he said.

Dodge City had multiple voting locations until the American with Disabilities Act in 2002 imposed more stringent requirements for accessibility to polling places, Dunlap said.

I wonder why people can’t vote at the Dodge City Community College which is right in the middle of town.

BECUZ DETAILS! Like if they put right in the middle of town too many people will vote! And when people vote, the GOP loses! Like those details, LIBERUL! Can you not reed? The details! We hide our voter suppression in DEETAILZ so we can say it’s disability access not voter suppression! Not racism! We’re not racist, why say racist!?
/s

Just for S&G I did an image search of Dodge City, Kansas churches and elementary schools. Turns out most of them are right in town and most of them are very obviously handicap accessible.

Also a quick google suggests that Dunlap is flat out lying about the Americans With Disabilities Act as that was passed in 1990 and updated in 2008, not 2002. So basically: yeah, it’s just racist vote suppression. But way to go, “details” PP. You’re totally on board with suppressing the legal vote of your fellow citizens.

What's a national voter database?

Does that mean it auto-votes for people along party-lines as long as they signed up once in their lives?

No, it means the federal govt issues every eligible voter a voting card, and keeps track of who is eligible to vote and where. No double voting, no improper voting, no suppression. Should be an easy solution. It’s how most countries do this. Here is one article proposing it. There are others.

No other updates, ever PP? You sure about that?

I simply asked you if you really checked through the details of the story. Clearly you didn't, hence your anger.

No, my anger comes from the GOP’s desire to suppress legal votes. That should anger you, too. See for yourself about the Americans with Diaabilties Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990 And the larger point: it looks like there are a bunch of accessible places they could have placed a dozen polling places. My own hometown is about half the population of Dodge City and has eight polling locations.

There is no evidence of any fraudulent voting in the US. Perhaps there is in your country, Boris, but here the POTUS set up a commission to find it, and they found essentially no evidence of any widespread voter fraud. They were looking and found nothing.

There is NO voter fraud in America. That’s a GOP/Russbots lie.

There were a few fraudulent votes in 2016. They were all for Trump. You can look it up.

The “Principals” of this foundation very likely do not know they are part of this. Likely whoever set up this fake “foundation” (it was created August 9, 2016) plucked their names off an online directory. One of the principals is 80 years old.
