This. Let's make it easy (and cheap) for everyone in Virginia to get a photo ID.

Tel that to the Republicans who have this nasty tendency to shut down DMV locations in predominantly minority neighborhoods right after passing photo id laws.

OP’s thread is very misleading.

It should be deleted.


No, it’s not. Those bills would absolutely prevent registered voters from voting.


Oh please.

That is a completely ridiculous, unfounded allegation by a hysterical LWNJ.


Are you illiterate?
“HB 24 and HB 46 would implement a photo ID requirement at voting precincts. Currently Virginia voters can use non-photo ID, such as a birth certificate or utility bill in their name, to cast their vote. The bills would also repeal language allowing voters to use expired driver’s licenses to vote.


I’m currently a registered voter who wouldn’t be able to vote.


So you carry no official ID? Every time I go to the doctor, they want my drivers license and insurance card. Do you not fly? You need a drivers license or official ID for that (it's not impossible to fly without it, but it makes it 1000% easier). Buy alcohol? Many places require the server check not matter how old the person looks. I am almost 60 and get carded occasionally, and some grocery stores input my age from my DL. I needed my license last when I just purchased a new phone in the carrier store last month. You haven't bought a new phone from your carrier?

A photo ID is required for obtaining medicaid, medicare and social security, obtaining a mortgage/refinancing, renting a car, buying some cold medications, opening a bank account - the list goes on.

In other words, I don't believe your license is expired or you have another acceptable form of ID like a passport, so stop with your nonsense. If you truly have no way to officially identify yourself, then yes, you might have to get a free ID card.


DP. I lived with an expired license for 10 years. When you live in an urban area with public transportation you don’t need one. At one point ai lost the expired id so lived without it for several years.


You should have an ID to vote. If you want to vote, get an ID.

I don't get this obsession with finding fringe cases of people who can't or won't get an ID.

Do you live under a rock? It is hard to take seriously the opinions of someone who isn’t minimally informed about this history of voter id laws. Look at Wisconsin and Alabama for examples.

Honestly the only time I hear about voter fraud it involves Republicans. And they are usually clumsy efforts at that, kind of like Glenn Youngkin’s son trying to vote at age 17. Multiple times.

There was also the Republican in Pennsylvania who tried to vote in his dead mother’s name.

Republicans always project. If they’re accusing other people of misconduct, it means that are engaged in the misconduct themselves.

Exactly.

Now you need a valid ID. But oops now we are going to make it difficult for you to get one.

I have my voter card that I’ve always used as ID. Why can’t I use that anymore?

They would make things more difficult to vote. Voting should be *easy.* otherwise we end up with Republicans in office and Republicans are anti-American.


Why do Rs benefit? We're all uneducated trailer trash, so how are we smarter than you to figure out how to vote without too much trouble?


Because you cheat and steal any chance you get.

Show us the evidence of voter fraud in Virginia. Other than the multiple attempts by Youngkin’s kid to vote illegally for his dad last year, which were caught and stopped despite the fact that Virginia no longer had a photo id requirement.



Yes. Where is this vOtEr FRaUd?

I have a drivers license but it’s expired.

Hasn’t been an issue at all for the last 1.5 years.

I did get a new phone - didn’t need an ID for that. Haven’t been to the doctor although I’ve taken my kids. Haven’t done any of the other things.

Look there is no need for ID. The system without ID has never had problems. It’s a away you drive down voter participation and the republicans will track your vote. The republicans in Arizona went door to door demanding voters ID and who they voted for after the election.
