How come no one is protesting showing ID to buy alcohol or cigarettes? Or prescription meds? Or to receive govt benefits?

How is it the *only* thing people get outraged about having to show ID for, is *voting*? Being required to show ID for all the other stuff is fine with them.

It really is a magical contradiction, isn't it?

Are those things enshrined in our constitution as a right?

Just like free speech and gun ownership has responsibilities attached to them, so does voting.

The responsibility is to go vote. It's not for one group of citizens to do what they can to make it harder for other citizens to vote.

Sure. To go vote, multiple times, under various previously-registered names! Enabled by not having to show an ID proving who you are.

If I wanted to, I could complete a half dozen (or more... many, many more) voter registration forms under made-up names, or names of dead people, and then on election day go and vote as each of those people, with only my mouth as my proof of being who I am. Or even easier, just request absentee ballots for each and vote that way.


It republicans were doing this, democrats would be marching with pitchforks on their local boards of election demanding voter ID.


Maybe that's what needs to happen.

But Democrats are NOT doing this. So why are you trying to disenfranchise people? It seems to me that you hate the Constitution.

Go do that and let us know what happens. It's pretty obvious you've been thinking for a long time about how to get away with it #GOPprojection

Republicans always get more upset over a handful of fraudulent votes than they do about thousands of legal voters being denied their right to vote.

I hear nothing in terms of substance, just a lot of race based blaming of white people.

Being reasonable is a cover? She complains about scrubbing voter rolls because people move - people are supposed to vote in the location where they live, and only in the location where they live, how is this prejudicial? The election bodies of the governments are charged with the work of enforcing rules and policies, you can't argue that the enforcement of rules and policies are bad just because you don't like the outcome. A citizen's right to vote comes with the responsibility of following the rules to keeping their voter registration updated.

Rights have responsibilities!!!

The NRA called. They want you to tone it down a bit - that line of argument is making them a bit uncomfortable.

LOL, PP here and I agree. NRA strays a little too far some times towards fighting against any attempt at regulation. This is one of the reasons why I cancelled my membership. I still go to their range, however, so they get their money from me that way.

And Texas just declared electronic signatures invalid so throwing out a thousands of registrations (mostly millennials).

The Florida voter registration website was down all weekend.

Textbook.

I know that we usually don’t post video links on this site but I thought that this woman’s points were so well argued and explained so well why voter ID and the myth of voter fraud is such a farce.
