Enough of this. You HAVE to show a photo ID AND Social Security card TO GET A JOB.

Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Where are your papers? Is this what you really want?

No, that's what YOU want. You don't have the right to political participation unless you have a state approved ID. That's what you want, isn't it?
 
Heck, I had to show a valid photo ID and Social Security card to get a job for people with disabilities that actually pays less than minimum wage. If you believe I’m making this business up, I can post a link if you’re interested. Also you need to show a valid photo ID to get welfare. You have to show a valid photo ID to open a bank account and cash a check. Enough of this nonsense.

Plus, EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED NATION requires a valid photo ID to vote. The Scandinavian countries that leftists seem to love also require a valid photo ID to vote. So please drop it with your lies.

Yet somehow we managed to vote before photography even existed.

The problems with this issue are that republicans have all but admitted that voter id is a way to give them an edge, have is some places said a student id is not enough, and that the GOP has also banned early or Sunday voting, limited polling places, etc., and done much of this in states freed from scrutiny by the Supreme Court’s decision on the Voting Rights Act. And, of course, there has been no evidence of voter fraud on any significant scale, and no one has explained how this could happen with no one noticing. Maybe a commission to study this could... OOOPS! We already did that.

If people want to vote they should have to prove they are eligible to vote. If they don't want to vote, which many don't, then they are not required to get an ID. But, seriously, who the hell doesn't have an ID? Really.
 
I don't think you need the physical social security card for that, just the number.

Yes, you do need the physical card. That is supposed to be how it works. I am an employer. We need to see if the applicant can legally work in the US and you can only do that by seeing the card. The name on the card also has to match the applicant's name. Checks have to be issued in the name on the social security card, not the name that people want to use. Most of the time this has to deal with women getting married or divorced. The name and the number have to match. The way you describe it, an illegal can just steal the SS number of someone else and use it to apply for working.
 
Excellent dodge! You dodged because you cannot point to a specific event or even a trend that justifies your "solution." Voter ID is a phony BS issue. Always has been, always will be.

I didn't dodge. I showed your hypocrisy. You scream Russia Russia Russia and yet can't prove that Russia did anything to change the election results and then you made your post asking for proof of election fraud. Are you now willing to admit that Russia didn't change election results?

You have to have a social security card, a valid ID, and go through a background check to collect grocery carts at the local store.

What eligibility criteria are you do specifically concerned about?
 
First prove that voter id leads to less voter fraud.


You have a solution in search of a problem

I didnt claim the former.

Your turn...since the former isnt true...my claim about guns is true, correct?



This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa
 
These people need ID for many things such as collecting benefits, buying alcohol, having a job, and any number of things. To claim that people cannot afford an ID is just biased liberal bull**** talking points. If you don't have an ID more than likely it is because you are an illegal and shouldn't be voting in the first place. EVERYONE has an ID.

Voting is a right and that right cannot be infringed once we are registered. People's citizenship is vetted when we are registered so we don't have to prove that we are valid voters again at the polls.

The fact that there is virtually no voter fraud that would be eliminated with a photo ID seems to be beyond your understand because you have been convinced by the GOP that vote fraud is rampant. It is obvious to me that the people who accept this lie from republicans about voter fraud do not work in the manufacturing industry because the level of vote fraud is lower than what is necessary for a corporation to achieve ISO9001 quality certification. It many cases it approaches and even archives 6-Sigma certification that many companies spend millions on a year to achieve. These people who accept this lie are obviously ignorant of even the most basic concepts of statistics because the vote fraud that exists are statistical fliers that cannot be accurately addressed without disenfranchising many more voters, which is exactly the goal of the GOP because they know that the people who don't have photo IDs are not likely to vote for them, as well as the fact that when more people are able to cast a vote the conservatives on the ballot are less likely to win. Republicans don't want people to vote and this is why they are adamantly opposed to mail-in voting which makes it easier for registered voters to cast a ballot.

To put it polittely, you have been suckered and you are too blind to see it,.
 
What eligibility criteria are you do specifically concerned about?

The eligibility that only eligible voters vote. There is no other eligibility. I don't care how many damn Democrats vote but you have to prove you are eligible to vote in order to vote. We're not relaxing eligibility rules just because the left want to. If you can't prove you are eligible to vote then you don't vote.

To register all one has to do is check boxes on a form.. What box will a photo id prove?

OK, perhaps you're right. How about something like the new MediCare cards? They don't have a SSN and are issued to everyone on MediCare ... AT ... NO ... COST!

Problem: Elections are held at the state level.

Solution: Republicans AND Democrats come together to fund voter ID's for everyone by passing a bill where States instantiate Voter ID's, WITH FEDERAL FUNDING (1) when Drivers Licenses are renewed (2) Door to door social workers or volunteers from both parties (3) at grocery store kiosks ... however STATES think they can "getter done". State Drivers licenses could have a mark like the "real ID" star., or if they don't drive a simple state ID with the same mark ... FOR FREE. BUT!!!!! States that don't achive 95% compliance loose ALL Federal Funding until they are IN compliance. How does that suit you?
 
So, you are saying that everyone should be able to vote, whether they are allowed to or not. There are no requirements, including age. A bunch of 17 year olds could vote, claiming they are 18 but don't have an ID.

Safe your horse**** strawmen for someone willing to play your stupid game.

Have some respect for yourself, Christ.

1.) you are now moving the goalposts from vote fraud to the Russian interference.

2.) We know that the Russians were interfering with the election and actively working to support Donald Trump by their posts on various social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. How much there were able to accomplish we do not know because it is hard to qualify how much they changed the minds of conservative voters. We know that they are also tampering with the 2020 elections as a way to support Donald Trump.

I'm not asking for proof. I'm asking for evidence, big difference. Now tell me about a REAL problem that Voter ID will address. I dare ya! You can't do it. It does not exist.

LOL. So, you're saying that in order to vote you shouldn't have to prove you are eligible at either registration time or voting time? Now the truth comes out.

Do you have any evidence that Russia changed any election results? No.
 
Can you prove that Russia changed any election results? No.

How would you prove that the Russian troll farms were key factors to people changing their vote at the polls? Opinions are subjective and are difficult to quantify even with polls because many people, especially conservatives are not logical.

We do know that they were involved and that the Trump campaign was open to their interference as assistance.

Do you have a Fox News talking point to address this?

You already prove you are eligible to vote by attesting on the application. What requirement are you concerned about?
 
How does Trump show his ID when he votes by mail?

When you vote by mail in that instance. You have to give advance notice, and mail a copy of your photo ID with your ballot.
