More Voter Suppression efforts by Republicans

[Americana Antifa]

So, exactly like I said above..... Things that you can get from a phone book.

Do they still require ID?

Nope. And it works. Trump's army of fashy lawyers were unable to find cases of voter fraud.

There were a few cases here and there, of course. No system is perfect. But those were all cases of people illegally voting for Republicans, because duh.

Just now, WestCanMan said:

Less time? Really? Not enough time to get a DL that lasts for 4-5 years? Do they all work 6 jobs? 

The sad thing is a lot of poor people do work two or three jobs. And registering to get an ID usually takes a full day. That's ok if you're doing well, but if you're poor, you can't afford to lose a day's pay.

By the way, even though voter ID laws would be addressing a non-issue, I wouldn't be against them if it was done in a way that wasn't just trying to limit people from voting. If the government just sent every legal resident an ID in order to ensure voting security, I'd be fine with that. I'd be fine with requiring people to have their ID to vote. In theory, it's not a terrible idea. But the way it's being done is just a bad faith attempt at restricting voting, much like all of the other anti-democracy laws the Republicans are trying to do.

So millions of people showed up to vote with no ID, and then flashy lawyers were unable to find cases of voter fraud. Hmmmmm.

You're so stupid I can't even believe I'm having a conversation with you.

Um... yes?

Don't you think if millions of people voted illegally there'd be like even a trace of evidence?

We have found cases of voter fraud, it is possible, we know it can happen. But the cases were way way too rare to make a difference.

There are people who have never voted for the last 50 years. The Dems know who they are. Now all they need is a phone book....

Or some ballots to mail out, "unsolicited".

1) Anyone can get ID. Anyone that's a legal citizen that is. Being black or poor is no excuse, period. 

2) The only thing that Dem voter changes do is make fraud easier.

3) No fraud detected...

It's funny how this didn't become a talking-point until rather recently. When the Republicans were still able to get majority support, they didn't seem to care about voter ID laws.

Anyway, that's not how it works. In many states if someone hasn't voted for years, they have to reregister. They also have things like signature and witness requirements. Some states even require a photo which they keep to make sure that you're the same person who voted ten years earlier.

Seriously, we have so many laws in place to prevent voter fraud, it's a miracle as many Americans vote as they do.

Just now, WestCanMan said:

Anyone can get an ID, it's physically possible, but it's a lot harder if you're poor. The Republicans know this, that's the point. That's why they're offering no ideas on how to make it easier to get an ID.

No, it isn't. Not at all. Everyone can get $35 together for an ID. Everyone.

You can get ID in the evening or on a Saturday. Literally anyone can do it. 

Call me a meanie, but I have no sympathy for anyone that lazy/stupid. They actually shouldn't be voting.

Poll taxes ARE ILLEGAL in the US.

Of course IDK where you got the $35 figure.

The problem is that the poor and elderly have a much harder time getting to the DMV or wherever they have to go to get an ID, esp if they have to take off work, and that is what Republicans are counting on to suppress the Democratic vote: statistical discouragement.

But it isn't. You really are saying they're too stupid - OR too lazy and just don't care.

And you haven't made your case that somehow all poor people vote democrat.

You lie and you try to twist the truth to your agenda and then you get cranky when you get caught at it.

And if there's no voter fraud - then you won't care about efforts to make sure of it right? Unless there is and you'd like to keep that door open.

Like I said earlier, I'd be fine with voter ID laws if the government made getting an ID really easy. If they just mailed one to every registered voter then required them to have their ID to vote, that'd be ok.

But they're not doing that because it's not really about voter integrity. It's just another voter restriction law that Republicans are trying to do.

[Nationalist]

This is so stupid. ID is required to vote. That goes for every American citizen. To drop that basic rule, opens elections up to fraud. Anyone who argues otherwise is plain old lying.!

Mailin ballots are an obvious Libbie attempt to make fraud undetectable.

First off sure you can.  It ain't hard.  It's not like you have to do it every week.

Second, the percentage of people who work multiple jobs is tiny:

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2019/06/about-thirteen-million-united-states-workers-have-more-than-one-job.html

AND many do so not because they're poor but because the want a little extra for something OR they're learning a new skill or trade or the like.

So you're talking less than ONE PERCENT of the population - OF WHICH A SIZABLE HUNK WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN.

You're trying you claim that Republicans are making a major effort to suppress a group of people who are so small that there is NO chance they'll make a difference in an election.

You're a lying sack of socialist.

As noted - in terms of numbers theres MORE poor white people and they're just as likely to vote republican. So your logic makes no sense, they'd hurt themselves more than they'd hurt the democrats.

So, more lies from the left.  Yawn.

The truth is you and the dems are angry because you know it will hamper illegal voting. And if it's done federally it may become common in the gubernatorial races or even (gasp!) mayoral races etc.

You're forgetting that America has the electoral college. If we didn't have that, then you'd be correct, the amount wouldn't be enough to change the outcome. But with our system, which basically rigs every election for the Republicans, an amount that small can easily make a difference in swing states.

No, because poor white people are generally split on who they vote for. Within the white population, it depends more on region. So while voter ID laws would stop some Republican voters, it would stop way more Democrat voters.

In Canada, unlike in American states with voter ID laws, voters may prove their identity at the polls using a broad range of 40 forms of ID. The Canadian government has modified this list several times since its creation in 2007, adding documents to allow more eligible voters to cast ballots.. Accepted IDs include driver’s licenses and other types of government-issued ID similar to those required in many U.S. states. But voters in Canada also may identify themselves using student IDs, employee cards, and various forms of non-photo IDs, as long as one of them has a current address. Unlike many U.S. jurisdictions, Canada also allows the use of expired driver’s licenses, which many seniors and others who no longer drive continue to use for identification. The wide range of documents accepted limits the possibility of the ID requirement disenfranchising voters.

By contrast, U.S. voter ID laws are unduly restrictive in ways that can disenfranchise eligible voters. Alabama, for example, accepts only 10 forms of ID. Texas accepts only seven, including a concealed handgun license but not a University of Texas ID, which is available to over 200,000 students. Neither state accepts expired IDs.

I've been poor. I've missed meals.  Have you? Don't think so - you just like speaking for others.

EVERYONE knows how to juggle that crap. You have to. People working two jobs are doing one full time and one part time. You either juggle the shift on the part time or yo work a deal on the full time with the boss to miss a few hours and make it up.

Only someone who has NEVER been poor would pretend that it's somehow impossible to do this. You have to do it for all KINDS of things.

Yeah.  And not all voters are workers.  So we're talking about a very TINY percent of the population - and THEN not ALL of THEM vote democrat. Close to half will vote republican - same as the rest of the population. So now the net gain by repressing this vote is TINY

Not way more. Sorry. Even in areas that are strongly democrat it's not 'way' more.

lets look at new york - arguably one of the most democrat areas in the country.

https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/results/state/new-york

2020 - where there was a strong dem vote.  Dems got 61 - reps got 38.

So the entire difference between them - and this is about as high as it's possible to get -  is 23 percent.

So.. with people working 2 jobs representing about 1 percent of the population (about 2 percent of the votng population), and assuming you managed to repress ALL OF THEM ENTIRELY, you MIGHT get  0.4 percent OF one percent more votes for the republicans.

Which isn't even a rounding error.

It's a joke. And you're a joke for not knowing how your own system works.

Yep. Really now.  Turns out none of what was in that article refutes what i said.

Nice try at obfuscating    FAIL!

What the article fails to mention is someo fo that is only true if you're on the voters list - in other words you've confirmed who you are before hand.  And they still have to have a picture on one of the forms of id.

And the dems aren't arguing for MORE id to be recognized, they want NO id to be necessary

An honest democratic election is simple. One person = one vote. The electoral college is only in place because it helps right-wing candidates. It's the same reason that the District of Columbia isn't a state. The Republicans aren't allowing that because DC is full of black people, which means they'll vote for Democrats.

Duh. The point is to steal purple states, not blue states. Republicans know the voter ID laws won't make a difference in New York or California.

Here's a better overall view:

Republicans target black voters however they can because they know that this 20% matters. Especially in places like Georgia which is becoming a blue state.

And it's not just voter ID laws. This needs to be looked at with all of the other voter restriction laws that target people who are black, poor, or young.

The truth is, the amount a job pays is not reflected in how difficult the job is. Wages are kept low so that the rich have a permanent under-class that they can extract labor from.

First of all, the border isn't open, no matter how many times Fox says it is.

Secondly, the two parties are pretty much the same when it comes to immigration. That's why immigration has been consistently increasing regardless of who the president is.
