[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since most Americans, including Democrats and black Americans, are in favor of voter ID requirements, what is it that those who are pushing against voter ID requirements are angling for? [/quote]

Great question.[/quote]

It isn’t being done in good faith. It is intended to suppress black and Latino and young voters. It may look neutral to you but the people pushing it know that their state and local election officials will always apply rules more strictly to obstruct black voters. They will make it harder for some people to get the required IDs or to update IDs and they will continue to put up other obstacles to suppress black votes, e.g. rigging precinct size, location, capacity, staffing to ensure long lines and waits. These racists cannot be trusted to enforce election laws fairly and equally. They have no intention of doing so. This is not targeted at fraud. It is targeted at depressing turnout among certain types of eligible voters. [/quote]

So this is about what you FEEL their goals are. There's a whole lot of hypothesizing and impugning motives in these discussions. There are many states that require voters to have ID that are not Republican led states. [/quote]

DP.  I have not seen one reason for voter ID laws backed up with evidence for their necessity on this thread.  It’s ironic that you are so dismissive of FEELINGS because that’s the only reason you want voter ID.[/quote]

Countries all over the world require voter ID. Are they all paranoid? Services and purchases of all kinds require ID. Should the US stop with all the nonsense? [/quote]

It's pointless, as there is one crazy lady on this thread incessantly rambling on about all of the people who can't vote because they never got an id. These people spent their entire lives unsuccessfully trying to get their birth certificate that was destroyed by the sandanistas. To make matters worse, they have spinobifida and cant leave the house. It's LOCO![/quote]

Belittling reality — even circumstances that are outside of your own limited experience, doesn’t make it go away. Instead of inventing things about “sandanistas” and mocking handicapped people, why not just propose some practical solutions to the issues raised?  If you want a universal ID, supposedly to prevent voter fraud, then come up with practical ways to do so. [/quote]
