[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Again, there are many people who never do those things for any number of reasons: they may have a spouse or family member who does most of the logistics of their lives, and they may not have adequate transportation themselves. Many people are dependent on a family member but this does not mean that they should not be allowed to vote. [/quote] No. There are not "many people" like this. [/quote] You don't get out much. Yes, yes there are. And why would the Supreme Court say that native americans in North Dakota cannot use PO boxes, common in rural areas, for their voter registrations? That is totally discriminatory.[/quote] Yes, BILLIONS of americans live like this despite the patriot act requiring ID for things that never required IDs before. They never open checking accounts! They never buy perscription medicine, or even over the counter cold medicine! They never buy a house or rent from a landlord who performs a background check! They never rent a hotel room! They never purchase alcohol or tobacco! They never fly! They never cash a check or wire money! They never purchase a cell phone! They never apply for a library card, register a pet, purchase a firearm, apply for a hunting license! They never go to the social security office, apply for medicare, medicaid, food stamps, TANF, or other social programs (that require ID)! They never file for unemployment! They never donate blood to the red cross! Billions must be participating in the underground economy and never have applied for a job that requires ID, or never ever interact with the local, state, or federal government in any way! They can fully participate in modern life and claim all the benefits to which they are entitled![/quote] Not if they are older. I've never been asked for an I'd to pick up my prescription. My elderly parents have never used ID for most of this, they started everything back in the 1950s and never changed a thing. No rent, they own their house. They never file for unemployment, they never buy alcohol or cigarettes. They have never moved once since the bought their house 60 years ago. They are elderly, they don't travel. They had a library card since the 60s. Libraries use bills or mail for confirmation as well. I've never had a cell phone that required ID, I mean wtf? I charge it to my card and have it shipped. No ID required. I'm in my 40s and opened credit card accounts years ago without ID. Almost no one asks me for ID when I buy alcohol, I look like their mama. I have ID, of course, and have moved around a lot so needed it. But lots of rural poor and elderly may not. And they definitely use PO Boxes instead of their rural house address at times. This may disenfranchise some poor liberals, but many many more poor conservatives. Republicans should be careful what they wish for. If you live in a city or large metro area, you are going to need an ID much more than in a rural town--where everyone knows who you are, knows who your mama is, and never needs to check ID, even if it's technically required. They all know how old you are and where you live. [/quote]
