[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i apologize for the mistake.

i for some reason thought that multiple states were trying to impose voter ID laws. i was unaware that the whole debate centered around virginia's law.

carry on.[/quote]

PP here, no mistake made.  I was just relaying my recent experience voting last week in Fairfax, and yes, we're just one of 50 states, so I can't speak for other states.  So I look forward to other states and the criminal voter suppression being invoked to be the next topic of discussion to over-complicate a rather basic subject.[/quote]

i was actually being sarcastic.

your VA experience isnt the same as many other states. if i was strictly speaking about VA, i guess my statement would be wrong.

georgia, indiana, kansas are states that have much stricter id requirements than va. the pa law which was put on hold for this election was also very strict and spoke to much of what i said in my earlier post.

Your sarcasm was noted, I just didn't want to stoop to your level with your bitchy "carry on" statement, since you're obviously a woman, I didn't want to get into a catty tit for tat.  In Georgia you can still vote with an expired drivers license.  I'm not interested in researching every state's suppressive ways, suffice it to say you may be on to something, as Kansas and Georgia have long been bastions of progressive politicss until this massive wave FINALLY swept conservatives...

Ironically both are hard faught battleground states....[/quote]

first im not a woman.

second, i think the both of us are accustomed to the cat fighting on here that we reacted accordingly based on that assumption.

i dont mind being challenged. im just not interested in petty gamesmanship and i assumed thats what you were trying to do.

either way, my entire point about the laws was that while they vary state by state, many of them are imposing strict rules that make it difficult for some.

further, i sat on a discussion on this topic and you would be surprised to learn that some opponents of the voter id laws are not against showing id. its strict nature of the rules/law that is the problem.

we get so caught up in stupid heated debates about the topic that we never get to a point of common ground on the issue. some people are ok with having to show id, its the hoops and hurdles some of these states require you to go through which is the problem. so VA may be "normal" in their requirements but states like pa, fl and the ones ive mentioned not so. this is part of the problem[/quote]
