Please Direct Potential Voters To Free Photo ID

[Cammmpbell]

It doesn't cost anything to get a photo ID. Whether a drivers license, a gun permit, etc. The dems whining makes no sense. If everyone needs to show a photo ID its a fair requirement.

I recall when GOP operatives were videotaping polling places to document multiple voters, and the dems had that stopped as intrusive. Yet Black Panthers can stand outside a polling place with clubs and the dems do nothing?!

You're about as wrong as wrong gets. Everything with a photo costs money. How about you name one which doesn't....that's what the thread asks.

What about people who don't fly or drive or own a credit card. What about old poverty stricken people. There are a lot more of them now after the bank cave in.This is the United States of America and they are still entitled to vote.

Gun permits are free. You simply do the paperwork and go for the permit. You have just been proven wrong. IMHO any state that requires a photo ID on their voter registration card needs to provide the voter ID cards. Its not a "poll tax" ITS FREE.

Let me see now....Grandma will just have to buy a gun ROTFLMAO

If you cannot do that anything else is a poor attempt by Republicans to require the equivalent of a poll tax. If it costs anything it should be outlawed. Poor people are entitled to cast a vote. During too much of our history elderly or poverty stricken people were denied a vote for various reasons.

In this day and age I find it absolutely amazing
some people don't have a picture ID.
I'm sure the elderly will have some issues with this.
They have a year to comply.Let the congressman/congresswoman
in their district set up a hot line to assist these folks.

Stop whining about it and playing the victim
(I know that is hard for democrats) and get moving
on getting the ID you know you need.

No matter how you try to spin, the voters simply don't see a problem with requiring a valid ID to vote. People just aren't as stupid as you think they are.

No one is fooled.

 

[bripat9643]

There are some seriously poor folks out there who cant get to places to get those id's. That is the point by both parties really.

Then how do these people get to the polls?

Every argument against voter ID isn't just wrong. It's idiotic.

Then they can't get to the polls either and there is no issue.

You dont have to go to a poll to vote skippy.

ROFL! Don't ever require anyone to show a valid ID, and let them all mail in their ballots. That's the perfect prescription for voter fraud!

I love the way libturds always reveal their true intentions.

Too poor to get to a DMV to get a free ID once every 5 years?

That's reaaaaallllyyyyy a stretch.

The problems the libturds are having trying to sell this is that the scenarios they invent are utterly implausible. Most people laugh at the idea that getting a valid ID is some kind of undue burden. Libturds ignore the fact that the voters all have personal knowledge of what's involved.

voter ID in any state that requires one is free

 

[bripat9643]

That simply is not true.

There are countless polling places in locations where there is no DMV or similar ID-issuing office for perhaps hundreds of miles (notably in Alaska). Even in the most remote of places there is still postal service so absentee ballots can be cast. BTW, how do you vote absentee without showing some official a photo-ID? Or are those on vacation out of the country or perhaps housebound no longer to be allowed to vote?

If you live in some remote location, you have to expend considerable effort just staying alive. If a person is competent to do that, they are competent enough to get an ID and get to the polls.

In any case, in most places photo ID is not free. A driver's license costs big bucks in some places and requires passing a written test. So.....is literacy now mandatory to vote because without it you can't get a license? State ID cards almost always have a price tag (in addition to the travel to get one). Exception; in some states ID is free if you're over 65 but you still have to get to where they're issued.

States that have imposed voter ID requirements have also made free state issued IDs available, so that argument is a non sequitur as well

The bottom line is that you can't reduce the effort involved in voting to zero, so any argument that a law invalid because it requires some effort to be expended is absurd on its face.

If you can't be bothered to expend the required effort to vote, then you shouldn't be voting. You're an incompetent moron.

Maybe in theory (law), but not always in practice. It seems murky in some areas...

Had the Supreme Court not intervened, the GOP would have found a way to make the Photo ID cost at least $50.

Anderson@Large: The High Cost of a Free Voter ID

In Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, the U. S. Supreme Court held that states with strict photo ID requirements must provide free voter IDs. While the voter ID is free, the document a citizen must produce to establish his or her identity is not free. Those documents include a certified copy of a birth certificate or a passport. Of course, if a voter has a passport, there would no need for a voter ID.

The cost of obtaining a birth certificate ranges from $5.00 in some counties in Indiana to $25.00 in Georgia. In addition to the state fee, an applicant will have to pay for postage and photocopying (if requested by mail), a processing fee (if ordered online) or transportation (if requested in person).

For this is what they truly believe and are trying to achieve.

It doesn't cost anything to get a photo ID. Whether a drivers license, a gun permit, etc. The dems whining makes no sense. If everyone needs to show a photo ID its a fair requirement.

I recall when GOP operatives were videotaping polling places to document multiple voters, and the dems had that stopped as intrusive. Yet Black Panthers can stand outside a polling place with clubs and the dems do nothing?!

You're about as wrong as wrong gets. Everything with a photo costs money. How about you name one which doesn't....that's what the thread asks.

What about people who don't fly or drive or own a credit card. What about old poverty stricken people. There are a lot more of them now after the bank cave in.This is the United States of America and they are still entitled to vote.

every voter ID law enacted INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO GET A FREE ID.

Laws requiring citizens to have a photo ID to vote is a solution in search of a problem.
