Typical.

What's typical is the liberal compulsion to quote random tweets from bizarre people no one has ever heard of. Forgive me if I'm not about to click on something "raven mack the dirt god" spews out in between tokes in his mom's basement.

It looks like tweet is showing the actual
proposal for legislation (which should have been linked). If it’s true, it’s horrible and embarrassing.

Except that the mistake was on the part of the agency tasked with drafting the legislation - which they freely admitted.

On Friday, Addison Merryman, a spokesman for Mr. Williams, released a statement from the state’s Division of Legislative Services, which took the blame for the error.

The mistake was inserted at the “drafting level following receipt of a historically accurate request from the office of Delegate Wren Williams,” according to the division, which described itself as a nonpartisan state agency that drafts, edits and releases “thousands of legislative drafts” for the General Assembly each session.

Are you claiming the delegate or his staff didn’t read his own bill or that they did and also thought Douglass was Frederick Douglass?

We already have voter ID. It's your signature. When you sign the voter rolls you are attesting your identity and right to vote.

The only way to fake those votes is to forge hundreds and thousands of signatures, and do it so well that the forgeries pass the intense scrutiny of poll workers and poll watchers.

Picture ID requirements will add literally NOTHING to election security. These proposals are just more fodder for the sheeple who have no idea how elections actually work and are therefore easy to lie to.

Then why do poll workers ask for ID?

Also, could you clarify what you mean? I don’t sign anything when I vote. I’m not sure what you mean about checking for forgeries. Could you explain?

Same here. Never signed anything while voting, but was asked for my ID.

The PPP is full of it. A signature isn't a form of ID. And I was also never asked to sign anything when I vote. What a crock.

Pollworker here. In the west coast state where I now live and work elections, we sign the voter roll when we check in at the poll or we sign the back of the envelope that we mail if the ballot is mail-in. Those signatures are checked against the signatures on file (collected during registration). The voter rolls and absentee ballot envelopes - which is where signatures are collected - are checked at the county elections office. Party observers (R&D and I think others that have qualified) monitor the signature checks and if the election official has any concern about a lack of match between the signature on file and the signature collected that election, they can discuss it with the observers who can argue for or against the signature. The election official then makes the call. (I believe they are also able to contact voters in follow-up but not super sure how that part happens.)

After the polls close, staff at each poll must tally and trace each and every election material collected. The number of votes cast in person - the actual paper cards that the machine tallies - must match the number of signatures in the roll. Also - every hour the polls are open we mark the names of the voters who have come to the polls on a list that is then posted outside the polls for the public to see. At the end of the night, we post the completed list as well as a tally of all votes cast at that poll that day.

Voters get a receipt/identification number that goes with their actual ballot. They can check online to see the status of their ballot.

There are other protections in place too but I'm describing what's public information. And that is this: who you vote for is your business. That you voted is public information. Election officials work tirelessly to track every single vote and we know every voter. I'm not going to say there's never been a vote cast that shouldn't have been, but this notion that you can just dump thousands of anonymous ballots or fake someone's ballot - enough to actually turn an election - is ludicrous.

If you genuinely believe it's possible to fake a bunch of votes where you live, please explain to me first exactly how votes in your county are collected and tallied. Don't just tell me how you think it "could happen," but demonstrate that you actually know with at least some degree of precision how your system works.

Agree. ID should have no place in exercising a constitutional right, any constitutional right.

Owning guns is a constitutional right. Are you saying ID should have no place in the owning and licensing of a gun? Because that's just sheer stupidity and totally invalidates whatever lame argument you think you're making.

Many 2A activists argue there should be no photo ID requirement for purchasing a gun. Many of them also strongly support a photo ID requirement for voting without seeing the conflict.

I don’t know of any. How do you know someone isn’t a felon if they don’t show ID?

Wouldn’t that require a background check?

Do all 2A activists you know support universal background checks?

I don’t know any 2A “activists,” but all the gun owners I know support universal background checks.

Absolutely.

Well in DC proof of ID and vaccine card are required. Same with NYC.

DP. Interesting. I wonder how the PP will weasel her way out of that one.

I do not want republicans tracking who I vote for. They have already shown they will pass laws to stop groups of people from voting. It is not a big step to stop individuals who vote for the other party.

The only people who are trying to stop individuals from voting for the other party are Democrats - specifically those arrogant a$$holes who accost me (and everyone else) at the polls, insisting I take one of their sample ballots. They're like the worst pushy salesperson.

Aww. You poor, poor snowflake. Were you okay or did you need to take a mental health day to recover?

Oh, I was A-OK, thanks for asking. Especially when Youngkin won the election. That was utterly delightful. A better question might be - were *you* ok?

I was fine. I’m not a snowflake posting on a board months later about how traumatized I was by a one minute encounter.

No, you're just posting about how traumatized you are by the idea of a Republican governor. So scary!!

Exactly. And I had to laugh at the PP who said signatures on ballots (never had to sign one, but ok) were meticulously compared to signatures on IDs, to "prevent fraud." So the assumption is that everyone would have an ID with their signature on it! D'oh!
