[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry - but this voting rights bill makes it easier to vote than get a REAL ID in this country to drive a car.

The amount of documents one has to provide to get an ID - it is quite impressive.   No way a non DC resident getting past the ladies at the DMV.

Seriously.

Voting is a privilege which you are welcome to exercise.   Hungry or thirsty in line?  Bring your own snacks and water.   Want to vote - go before work.  Can't?  Request absentee ballot.

Spoon feed until you get the "right" folks showing up.   Kind of like the GA senate race.   Biden:  vote Dem and we put 2K in your pocket!   Disgusting.[/quote]

Shouldn’t it be easier to vote (constitutional right, does not directly result in death of self or others) than to drive a car (privilege granted by government, not a right, can result in the direct injury or death of innocent people.[/quote]

You miss the purpose of the REAL ID - which requires, DD card, birth certificate and 2 forms of respondency proof.   How are any of these forms related to proof that you or I can drive a car with skill?  They are not.  This is pure and simple proof of citizenship and residency.   So - NO it should not be easier to vote in local, state or national elections where you should prove you are a stakeholder - it should be the SAME given the requirements.[/quote]
