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, visting the social security office, applying for most government benefits, cashing checks, western union, and establishing a bank account.

I think it reflects your privilege that you don’t recognize that there are a whole lot of people who never do any of those things.

State of Florida actively suppressing the vote right now https://mobile.twitter.com/samswey/status/1049458987287105537

Go ahead, trumpsters. Defend the indefensible. Tell us how all of the people who want to register now aren’t legal. Or sane. Or they don’t make enough or whatever non-excuse you’ll use this time.

Again, there are many people who never do those things for any number of reasons: they may have a spouse or family member who does most of the logistics of their lives, and they may not have adequate transportation themselves. Many people are dependent on a family member but this does not mean that they should not be allowed to vote.

No. There are not "many people" like this.

You don't get out much. Yes, yes there are.

And why would the Supreme Court say that native americans in North Dakota cannot use PO boxes, common in rural areas, for their voter registrations? That is totally discriminatory.

Indiana has purged no less than 20,000 voters in violation of a federal court order and in total has cancelled the registrations of a mind-boggling 469,000 voters — the majority using suspect methods.

Greg Palast.... I looked for corroboration elsewhere, but I see a bunch of articles from the last two years, none corroborating the meat of this. I see that Indiana wanted to purge them, but that it was blocked. Do you see where they have successfully purged?

Should be default registration when you go to the DMV for any kind of id.

As long as you have to show that same ID in order to vote.

Disgraceful to spring this on them on the eve of the midterms.
