[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least 80% of Americans want voter ID.

There is no good excuse - none - for Democrats to vote against this.

I'd support it assuming that we also provide the funds and make it easy for Americans to get a voter ID. Oh wait, it's expensive and time consuming and made deliberately difficult, especially in red states (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/challenge-obtaining-voter-identification).

"Many ID-issuing offices maintain limited business hours. For example, the office in Sauk City, Wisconsin is open only on the fifth Wednesday of any month. But only four months in 2012 — February, May, August, and October — have five Wednesdays. In other states — Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas — many part-time ID-issuing offices are in the rural regions with the highest concentrations of people of color and people in poverty."

If it was as easy as showing up with your social security card or birth certificate and getting it immediately processed, then I'd be all for it but these red states abuse it to deliberately disenfranchise people, especially POCs.[/quote]

Nonsense.

People can get ID's.  To say they can't is YOU being the racist. [/quote]

You didn't address any of the facts of what I provided. Typical, you only watch force fed echo chamber news videos rather than doing any reading or actual diligence. It is difficult and expensive to get voter IDs. But you conveniently deny this because it doesn't suit your agenda.

Expensive and Time Consuming:

Some counties in Texas require you to travel up to 175 miles to get to a place where you get one. So fine, let's put voter ID requirements in place and also fund the cost of acquiring one AND make it easy and accessible for all to do so, including those in rural areas. Now tell me why you're opposed to making it cheap and easily accessible to all Americans other than some ad hominem attack.

Then you go to get your ID.  You need and ID to open an account, drive a car, buy alcohol, travel...you need one to vote.

If you don't support and ID to vote you hate democracy it's that simple.  All western liberalized countries require and ID to vote.  America is the only country stupid enough to not require and ID to cast a vote.  [/quote]

You're not answering the question. Are you this dense? Make it easy, affordable and accessible and you'd probably get a ton of support from Democrats. Why is it that some places in Wisconsin only had voter id hours on the fifth Wednesday of every month? Really? For something as important as voter IDs, which you all presumably care about? That seems to be pretty pathetic or maybe it was deliberately making it difficult so that voters couldn't get one.

In Alabama, Gov. Robert Bentley denied there was any racist intent [u]behind the closure of 31 driver license offices in 2015[/u], but an investigation by the United States Department of Transportation found they adversely impacted majority African-American counties. [u]To make matters worse, the closures came on the heels of Alabama requiring photo ID at the polls[/u] -- a change the state made nearly the second the United States Supreme Court took it out from underneath the watchful stare of the United States Justice Department and the Voting Rights Act.

If you MAGAs actually acted in good faith and made it easier to get an ID, then this wouldn't be a problem. [/quote]
