Isn't it terrible?

I used to be so proud to live here, too.

Thank God, you may not have survived.

Life to me is about much more than just survival. But you do you.

It's so embarrassing to live in a sh1thole state that elected a Trump a$$licker like Youngkin.

Agree. ID should have no place in exercising a constitutional right, any constitutional right.

Except for the Second Amendment, right?

Why is anyone against early voting?

Who's against early voting? Two weeks isn't early enough for you? Are there any other special considerations you'd like??

How about leaving the current early voting rules in place?

Why? No one needs 45 DAYS to vote. Good grief.

Some day. Why are you hung up on this? The more time to vote the better — the goal to allow everyone to vote.

I think the voter age should be lowered to 16 too.

Luckily, rational people are in charge, so that won't be happening. If you can't manage to vote given 14 days of early voting, there is a problem.

Typical.

What's typical is the liberal compulsion to quote random tweets from bizarre people no one has ever heard of. Forgive me if I'm not about to click on something "raven mack the dirt god" spews out in between tokes in his mom's basement.

Everyone needs a state-issued ID. Everyone dreads the DMV. Doesn’t really matter. Quit complaining and do what needs to be done.

I’m just pointing out that it’s not a trivial task. Especially the Real ID.

And I am lucky enough to have a car & money. And I can track down the various documents required for the Real ID. And while it’s a pain to schedule time off of work I can get time off of work. It’s possibly an extremely challenging task for some people.

Also, I haven’t had a valid ID in almost 2 years. You don’t “need” a valid gov’t ID.

Interesting. I guess you never see the doctor? Buy alcohol? Rent a car? Board a plane? Stay at hotels?

Not in the last 2 years.

My passport is expired too.

All my identifying documents have expired. Why won't you just take my word? /s

I have no reason to lie. They weren’t expired when I set out on my journey to get a new license in 2020.

I assure you: no one cares about this sob story of yours. We've all had to put up with inconveniences to renew our licenses, obtain ID, etc. You are not special, but you certainly are a whiner. From the VA DMV: "Wednesdays are now walk-in days! Walk in for service Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday (in offices with Saturday hours). Appointment-only service is available on Mondays and Fridays. Plan your visit today!"

If you can't manage that, there is something seriously wrong with your organizational skills.

My entire point is that it is not a trivial task. Especially in certain circumstances. It has been a huge burden, even for me - and I have a car, computer, mortgage, etc.

Let me get this right: It’s too much to expect everyone to get an ID to vote (doesn’t have to be a driver’s license), but EVERYONE has to have a vaccine card proving they’ve been vaccinated at least twice (and some counties want to have vaccine passports)?

What does one have to do with the other?

I mean, your pretzel logic is puzzling.

I have an idea. Since we’re demanding IDs to vote, you should need to carry a special ID to own a firearm. Failure to produce it on demand of any private citizen should result in confiscation of the gun and imprisonment.

Yeah, that’s called a license and it’s already required to legally own a firearm.

It isn’t a photo ID. You should be required to have a photo ID license on you at all times and have to produce it on demand to anyone who asks. One for each gun.

DP. The fact that you think this is somehow a clever analogy says so much about your intellect. No one has claimed "anyone who asks" should have the right to demand ID from anyone else. A poll official, however, should be required to see a valid ID before allowing anyone to vote. It's really pretty simple, but the fact that you want to make it seem difficult is very telling. Glad the vast majority of Americans aren't crazy, like you.

Majorities of whites (74%), blacks (69%) and other minorities (82%) say voters should be required to show photo identification before being allowed to vote.

Try to let go of the anger.

PP probably can't past giving women the vote. Next thing you know, they will be out in public unsupervised by a male relative.

So true. I love when liberals out themselves as the misogynists they actually are.

Actually, the wing nut stuff - that is, LWNJ - already went somewhere. It was a wake-up call to vote Republican for many people. And now you're having a temper tantrum (as usual) in response to not getting your way.

And well done Youngkin for getting rid of mask mandates in schools. I'm so over my kid wearing a mask. Let COVID rip through the schools and the community. Can't wait!

Um... it already has, masks or no masks. Were you not aware?

I do not want republicans tracking who I vote for. They have already shown they will pass laws to stop groups of people from voting. It is not a big step to stop individuals who vote for the other party.

The only people who are trying to stop individuals from voting for the other party are Democrats - specifically those arrogant a$$holes who accost me (and everyone else) at the polls, insisting I take one of their sample ballots. They're like the worst pushy salesperson.

Yes, liberals are well known to be misogynists. They hate women so much that they want them to have control over their own body and lobby for equal pay.

They are lazy and racist. Everytime this comes up they claim the inconvenience too great and POC can't handle obtaining documents like birth certificates. The DMV gives you a checklist of docs you need, it's really quite simple

I’m not old or poor and it has been a huge PITA for me.

The GOP is pretty transparent about its effort to disenfranchise D voters across the board. They realize they can only win by taking away votes from eligible voters. And throwing away results they don’t like.

I guess it is a PITA to go online to request a copy of your birth certificate and marriage license. Previous generations were able to handle 3-4 hour in-person waits managing to get ID without even the internet. But I hope you understand not everyone, especially POC, have the same issues you seem to have with following directions.

That was a drivers license. I know it is hard for someone like yourself to understand the difference between a drivers license and a National ID? There is no voting fraud but because of people like you we need to reinvent a system that is working fine. It makes it harder to vote. The only reason you want for making it harder to vote is to suppress the vote. Conservatives just want to rule by dictate.

DP. I think it's hilarious that liberals such as yourself insist that obtaining an ID - something everyone should have anyway - is just too hard. Spare us all. No one is "making it harder to vote." You sound absolutely inept and helpless. Get an ID and stop whining.

The fascinating part is that libs want to force everyone to be vaccinated.

What do you need to show in order to get vaccinated? An ID!!!!! I know this first hand, because I didn’t want to show my ID for my vaccination, and was told I couldn’t get it without showing ID.

So apparently everyone CAN get an ID - because you need it to get vaccinated, and every MUST get vaccinated…

But when it comes to voting, an ID is discriminatory.


Explain that one to me.

So true! I completely forgot about needing an ID to get vaccinated. Let's hear them make up some idiotic excuse about that...

No, you don’t need an ID to get vaccinated.

Yes, you do.

I went to three different places in April of last year trying to get vaccinated without having to show an ID - one in DC, a CVS in Arlington, and a vaccination clinic at Montgomery College in Germantown, MD.

After the third try, I gave up and showed my ID at the Germantown clinic.


YOU CANNOT GET VACCINATED WITHOUT ID.

I’m proof of that.

YES, YOU CAN.

If you went to any of the vaccine clinics in VA they weren’t required:

https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/covid-19-faq/vaccination/
“ No, photo identification is not required for vaccination. It is important however, to have some way to confirm your identity (i.e. name, date of birth) so we can confirm that we are vaccinating the right person.

VDH recommends that vaccine providers refrain from enforcing any residency requirements by asking for identification or documentation from individuals.”

I just LOVE how you assert that an ID isn’t needed to get vaccinated, and as proof of your claim, show a rule that clearly states some form of identification is needed to confirm your identity!!!!


Priceless. Absolutely priceless!!!

You can definitely get vaccinated without an ID at gov't vaccine clinics. Not sure why you're having trouble understanding that.
"No, government-issued identification is not required to receive a vaccination.

VDH recommends that vaccine providers refrain from enforcing any residency requirements by asking for identification or documentation from individuals."


I never had to show ID for my kids at the clinic.

For me, CVS only required it the first time for insurance processing. Anyone could have gone to my subsequent shots.

DP. All you did there was delete the relevant bolded line. You realize we can read, right? And that the more you argue this point, the dumber you appear?


"It is important, however, to have some way to confirm your identity (ie name, date of birth)..."
