It is simply not true.

It’s not true that the elderly and poor minorities would find it hard to procure the needed identification to vote?

A place to start:

Supporters say that everyone should easily be able to get a photo ID and that the requirement is needed to combat voter fraud. But many election experts say that the process for obtaining a photo ID can be far more difficult than it looks for hundreds of thousands of people across the country who do not have the required photo identification cards. Those most likely to be affected are elderly citizens, African Americans, Hispanics and low-income residents.

A federal court in Texas found that 608,470 registered voters don’t have the forms of identification that the state now requires for voting. For example, residents can vote with their concealed-carry handgun licenses but not their state-issued student university IDs.

Across the country, about 11 percent of Americans do not have government-issued photo identification cards, such as a driver’s license or a passport, according to Wendy Weiser of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law.

Actually no he hasn’t, not judicial picks. Beside he didn’t become senate majority leader until after Reid.

What parts of the bill make voting difficult. Also, why didn’t you guys cry about the difficulty of voting prior to COVID?

Interesting…why did you single out minorities? Do better off minorities have any problems? Or just poor minorities? And if so how is that any different from other poor people?

If you don’t have any sort of ID it’s because you are either too lazy to get it, or you don’t want it. It’s that simple.

Voting will still be easy except for those voting illegally and therein lies the rub for the dems.

They want/need those illegal votes.

No, it’s not.

Horse feathers.

ā€œDon’t haveā€ ~ ā€œHard to getā€.

He’s spewing propaganda.

I’ve literally never met an elderly black man who didn’t have a license. Hell half of them are driving long past the time they should have retired and let their kids drive them around.

Now they may not have car tags or they might be expired. But they have licenses.

Why do you think Reid nuked the filibuster for judicial picks? Because McConnell was filibustering all of Obama’s nominations.

Where was Joe Biden’s big speech about this during his nearly 50 years as a Senator and as VP?

Yes. All the poor people I’ve known had driver license. They just may not have a car thou.

And notice I said poor people…not minorities and poor. :wink:

I know lot of well off minorities…to equate them with poor people is just stereotyping minorities.

Joe Biden is the most embarrassing fraud I can ever remember living in the White House.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans died in the civil war…they moron living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave compares making changes to voting hours to their sacrifice.

I knew Biden would be awful. In no way did I imagine he would be the complete cluster ā– ā– ā– ā–  that he’s turned into.

I ve been involved in this forum for 15 plus years or more.

The entire time the leftists have been arguing every way under the sun to make it possible to vote without ID. Once upon a time they were all on a kick that showing ID amounted to a poll tax.

The ultimate goal has been obvious for a long time.

Now if you stand opposed to their stupid ideas your name is Jim Crow and your a bigger threat than the civil war.

Minorities are less likely to have photo identification than the general public. Poverty, regardless of race/ethnicity, is a factor in someone’s ability to procure identification.
