stop whining about voter ID requirements

[Anonymous]

Again: did JFK, Nixon, or Reagan have to show ID when they cast their ballots?

If no, there is zero reason to make any of us show an ID.

What has changed in the intervening years that necessitates voter ID?

Not one Republican has addressed these points.

Why is this bureaucracy necessary again? Why are you trying to fix something that isn’t broken?

because, apparently, 25 million people don't have a valid ID

If you’re a us citizen, and you don’t have a valid ID...
That’s a choice.
Made by you.
Maybe not a good one, but a choice nonetheless.

There’s no reason, at all, why a US citizen wouldn’t have a valid ID.

Stop making excuses. Get your ID.

Republicans: the party of personal responsibility.

Unless a nerd asks you to wear a mask. F that, muh freedoms!

Or being liable for guns. F that, muh freedoms!

So much bad faith, so much hypocrisy, so little time!

I voted for decades without showing an ID, it was no problem.

What changed?

Illegal immigration en masse became a thing.

There is absolutely no proof, not one scintilla, that any undocumented people voted in any elections. The absurdity to think that people who are actively trying to stay under the radar and in the crevices of our society would openly show up to vote in an election is absurd on the face of it.

These people frequently live in illegally subdivided houses just to fly under the radar and follow the law meticulously for the same reason and you guys actually honestly believe they just show up to vote? The absolutely inane absurdities you guys fall for...

Don’t subject me to it. I do not want to end up like in China where my ability to get a job or travel can be “turned off” as way to control me. The ID card will be abused and probably by the same white crew who made illegal to give a voter some water.

This is the irony of people like the OP and all the right leaning libertarians. They want everyone to have a voter ID card, and some are suggesting federalizing one, yet, it is such a massive overreach.

And if someone doesn’t have a birth certificate then it seems like they wouldn’t be able to get a bank account either. We should fix those issues, not have insecure elections because of it.

We don't have insecure elections. It is a myth. The only insecurity in the 2020 election were a couple of GOP voters in PA, another GOP from Florida who voted in GA and some wacko lady in Nevada.

There is literally no widespread voter fraud and thus no problem to fix. The only reason these bills are happening is so the GOP can suppress votes and try to remain in power.

Please understand that we are dealing with l people that don't think rationally. Unfortunately, they also vote. And actually, they did quite well in the last election where there was no blue wave after all.
So, GOP accuses democrats of favoring voter fraud and having "illegals" vote.
I say call their bluff, and provide IDs to all citizen. In so doing, I am sure that those that have problems of missing documentation will have truly benefited. Now the will be able to take an airplane, open bank accounts, collect social security, avoid problems with estates, etc etc etc

You are really dense. States make the ID rules. So racist states like Georgia will just pass a law that the Fed ID is no good for voting

a state will outlaw the US passport as a valid ID?

sorry, hard to believe. that would be thrown out by the supreme court. yes, even the current supreme court

Damn you are dumb. The GOP doesn't want everyone to vote, so they will never support this,

DP. You are absolutely ridiculous and have been spewing lie after lie. Of course the GOP wants all US citizens to vote. You, otoh, prefer to throw out excuse after excuse as to why a certain segment of the population simply can’t attain a basic ID. Could you possibly be more patronizing?

US passport doesn't establish the right to vote in a local/state jurisdiction. It only allows passage to and from the US to other countries.

Really? Are you so sure about that? Why did one of their lawyers, in front of the Supreme Court, basically admit that it is against the GOP’s interests of everyone voted?

Because they are utterly stupid and irrelevant “points” which have nothing to do with present day? Just a thought.

No, the GOP has been actively reducing the number of polling stations, limiting the locations where one can obtain ID's, reducing the number of voting machines at polling places in minority precincts to force long lines for decades.

If the GOP was really interested in this, they would be facilitating more polling places, more safe voting machines and not passing these ridiculous bills.

You think the above was written by a “right-leaning libertarian”? Did you miss the bolded? Clearly it’s the usual “I’m so anti-racist!” liberal.

Show, dear, don’t tell. Why has this country allowed voting without an ID for centuries if it’s so important?

With upward of 22 million illegal aliens present, it is important to know who actually has the right to vote. ID is essential.
You are welcome.
