It would prevent me from voting.

- registered voter


And anyone else with an expired license.



Such as my MIL, who does not need a valid driver's license, as she doesn't drive anymore, and who hasn't replaced it with an ID card because she is disabled and pretty much housebound.


THis. A lot of older people can't get out to the DL offices. They can't drive and have no transportation. My father's wallet was stolen in the hospital. He was never well enough again to make the trip to the driver's license office.

What about people like him? They are NOT few and far between,


Yes they are. Seriously, people that are physically incapable of getting an ID but who want to vote?

DP. You mean like lots of nursing home residents?


And guess what, they get bills addressed to then at their nursing homes....that can be used to vote.


WHat are you talking about? NO THEY CAN'T UNDER THE NEW LIMITS.


I think this thread is just one more piece of evidence that support for Youngkin is fundamentally based in ignorance.

Yup. Or spite. Or both.

Did our grandparents need an ID to vote for Kennedy in 1964?
Did our parents need an ID to vote for Reagan in 1984?

If they didn’t need ID to vote - why do we need one now?

Not one Republican has addressed this.

Plus we already have voter ID - your signature.

What is funny is that it is always the left that is accusing people of conspiracy theories.

Take a look at Delaware's voting laws sometime and come back and talk to us about early voting, drop boxes, etc, etc, etc.

Voting should be easy, but it must also be secure. Both sets of interests need to be protected.


You know that there have been ongoing efforts to change Delaware's voting laws because even Republicans have acknowledged that they are needlessly draconian, right?


heh

The same Delaware with a Democrat governor and a supermajority of Democrats in the legislature?

Gee, I hope they are able to find time in their busy schedules to take on this critical issue we have been hearing about for years now...

Does it seem odd to you that Biden flew to GA to talk about their (comparably permissive) election laws in his speech when he could have just given his speech from Delaware?

I mean he is there every few weekends already so it seems like that would have saved some jet fuel.

And Democrats having been working on changing those laws, such as allowing in-person early voting starting this year.

Why are ballot dropboxes not secure? Why are mail-in ballots not secure? Why is a voter signature not secure?

More importantly why can you not imagine the way these laws will restrict voters? Oh that's right, you can imagine it, and you like it. Because you know Republicans are high-fiving themselves over the prospect of fewer people voting. We all know it.

Republicans, answer this question honestly: do you prefer more people voting or fewer?

I prefer all legally identifiable American citizens to vote. As do the vast majority of Americans.

Exactly.



Ditto. My 85 year parents do not have photo ID and don’t travel by plane. They will not be able to vote with the new law.


So your parents never see the doctor? Photo ID required.

DP. I never have to show photo id at the doctor. Not when I go to my pcp, my gyn, my dermatologist, my opthamologist or my orthopedist.

Yes, you did the first time when you also gave them your insurance card. After that you’re correct.

Which means pp’s point stands. If you are already established with your doctors, you don’t need photo id to continue seeing your doctors. PP was saying you can’t go to a doctor at all without a photo id, so lack of a valid photo id would mean the other poster’s elderly parent could never go to the doctor since she does not have valid photo id.

I am one of the PPs.

I never made the blanket statement you can’t go to the doctor without ID (although they are sticklers for proof of insurance - which requires - wait for it - ID !!).

But Lab Corp and at least 2 of my doctors/dentist require an automated kiosk check-in that scans your DL.

The idea that there are many willing and eager voters, ready to vote, but who somehow can’t get some sort of valid ID is simply idiotic.

I do not believe these ID requirements will disenfranchise anyone in Virginia.
