[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The people who think it is simple for everyone to have a valid ID are middle-income and up white people who own homes and stay in one place for 30/40 years or until black families move into their neighborhoods.

Low and moderate income people, especially in urban areas, are less likely to have a long-term fixed address. They tend to move around quite a bit, and occasionally live with other people who may or may not be related to them, their names might not be on the lease or utility bills or the other documents required for an ID, and they may not be planning to stay in that place long enough to bother updating an ID with an old address on it. Those are people that Republicans want to disenfranchise[/quote]

We are not saying it is simple, we are saying the federal government should solve this problem for anyone has difficulty obtaining an official photo ID and desires to have one.
A new national ID does not need to be created, the US government can issue US passports. In turn, these passports can be used directly or as proof of ID to obtain other types of local state REAL ID (eg, the new drivers license). Soon people won't be able to travel by plane without a REAL ID. So, let's empower people lacking ID by having the federal government solve the problem. And it has to be the federal government since state governments may oppose the initiative.

The same people saying the Federal Government should solve this problem are the same people fighting against Federal overreach. Look, if the right wants to have a national ID and nationalID card requirements for voting, then they are going to have to step back on the whole federal overreach thing.

So..which will it be. Do we really want a national ID database?[/quote]

Again,  slowly,  it isn't just "the right" that wants secure elections.

Take off your political blinders for just a minute.   In a country where it seems like nobody can agree on much of anything of substance,  80% of Americans support voter ID laws.

Crickets...

It is almost as if when it isn't the "omg bad Republicans!!!" that want to secure our elections the small minority of opponents have no argument anymore.

80%

Think what that says about DCUM that all those here inventing scenarios about people who really want to vote but really can't prove who they are are drawn from only 20% of the population.

Your education failed you if you don’t realize that 20% of a really big number is also a really big number. [/quote]
