There’s a ton of doubt and scant evidence that it prevents any sort of fraud. In person electoral fraud is exceedingly rare, and if you understand how voting systems work you would understand why.
When the Secretary or State has you register and verified through public records that you are who you say you are and live where you say you live, and then every time you wanna go shootin’ your actions are recorded and signature cross checked across multiple databases then you’ll have a more apt comparison.
After you’ve turned in a signature and something like a utility bill to the State, which is then cross checked along with every public record, and then you have to sign and in many cases re register every time you want to shoot, I guess.
It’s a silly comparison. The goal of voter ID is to prevent certain demographics from voting, it doesn’t stop in person voter fraud.
No, and no. Not when stats back it up, and it’s not just about ID. Black voters disproportionately voted absentee. Oops can’t do that anymore now unless you’re older than 65 which means you’re probably a white Republican voter. On and on, GA and TX and the 346 bills Republicans have introduced in 47 states to limit voting have one goal in mind: reduce minority turnout to boost their electoral chances.
Who is the Republican pundit pushing the “thinking this will affect blacks is the real racism” because you’re all saying it starting today and that doesn’t just happen.
Purely stupid question. It implies that all the people in that first-day line only had that one day off. Not two days later. Or a week later. Just that one day.
Hint: If you go on a day when there is no line, you don’t need to take a day off.
Again, if requiring an ID (that’s not free) is not an infringement on firearms ownership, which is a protected right, then it cannot be an infringement on voting.
I’m in favor of IDs for both, rather than neither.
You’re going to have to choose.
I from my lived experiences do not accept that photo id is a prerequisite nor a corequisite to ensure fair elections. Neither do I accept that it is necessary to vote within the electorate you are enrolled in.
