Yeah, I figured you weren't since you don't support the big lie.
Good point.
I hope this goes to SCOTUS. If SCOTUS overturns the lower judge's decision that will be the shot heard round the world that our Republic is on the way to failure - meaning I HOPE they sustain the lower judge's ruling.
North Carolina judges block voter ID law, saying it discriminates against Black people
A panel of North Carolina judges in a split decision blocked the state's voter ID law, saying it discriminates against Black people.www.cnbc.com
Whether by discriminatory Jim Crow voting laws or by racial gerrymandering, Republicans are always working to stifle the votes of people of color.
If they put as much energy into formulating policies that appeal to all voters, they wouldn't need to rig the election process.
When they were first imposed. Don't know shit about history, do you?
You hit the nail on the head. It has nothing do with policy, but everything to do with politics. The shallowness of thought promoted by some wouldn't drown a flea.
The same argument is applied to voter ID. If we don’t ID someone, ineligible persons will vote. Not saying it happens, just pointing out it’s the same argument
Yes, hyperbole.
The bottom line remains there is no excuse for a person to not have an ID.

Tell us what you think about Heller and Citizens United.
Bit they can't prove it happens on any appreciable level.
If they can prove that voter fraud happens at an appreciable level AND that voter ID would have prevented it then I am fine with a slowly mandated voter ID.
Tell that to these people.
Why Millions of Americans Have No Government ID
Several states have tightened voting requirements, making it mandatory to show a form of government-issued photo ID before casting a ballot. But millions of Americans don't have a government ID. Host Michel Martin talks with NPR's Corey Dade about who is least likely to have one and why.

I agree but that’s irrelevant.
Nobody has to show it happens. There is simply no justification what so ever they a person does not have an ID. You need one for thousands of different things.
Ok. It’s hyperbole. There is no reason every single one of them can’t obtain one.Tell that to these people.

Are you serious? I feel you're just trolling but if you are asking this question, seriously, I'll answer you.
I agree with Hellar for the most part but not with citizens United.
A lack of proof of voter fraud seems like a legit excuse to me.
Tell me about what you think of Citizens United.
Just because there is no reason they can't get an ID does not mean they should have too.
Are you then in favor of getting rid of the ID law for alcohol or firearm purchases?
What do you want to know? Not sure what you are getting at.
Nope. I think we covered this already.
There are a number of fundamental flaws in the "voter ID" arguments/laws. First, voting, unlike most of these other "voluntary" activities they like to trot out, is central to our governmental structure. Buying a gun, or liquor, or driving a car, or opening a bank account are not central to operating the country. We pick our leaders (at least in theory), so denying the franchise to any legitimate voter is antithetical to that concept, period.Bit they can't prove it happens on any appreciable level.
If they can prove that voter fraud happens at an appreciable level AND that voter ID would have prevented it then I am fine with a slowly mandated voter ID.
