Voting is the next game

[mnbasketball]

R. Maddow laid it out for everyone. The republicans new plan to win elections is make sure those who are least likely to have the ID they will require will be kept from voting. All the way from College kids to the poor.
Texas has two groups that will be exempt from having to show ID's, the elderly and those who have conceal and carry.

Pay attention as voter intimidation comes to your red state.

I certainly wish that a liberal, any liberal, such as yourself would tell me what you all have against a voter having to prove who he/she is before they vote. To me, it only makes sense that someone who comes to vote must prove who they are before they vote and that they have the legal right to do so.

The fact that you are so opposed to proper identification makes you all seem suspect.

Maybe you can tell me why you don't think a person should have to prove who they are in order to vote?

You need ID for just about everything in today's society. If fools like Maddow think being required to produce an ID to fulfill one of the most important duties as a citizen will prevent people from voting she confirms the fact that she typical left wing elitist with an ignorant and perhaps racist opinion of the American public.

They have to win somehow.

So preventing voting fraud is bad?

Oh, and since when don't College students have IDs? I was always given an ID while attending school.

Not to mention I had a drivers license in high school. Not exactly difficult to obtain. Alot of kids did at age 16.

Quite frankly, I don't think anyone from either party is a winner. Not only that, but as long was we continue to support those two parties, we are all losers.

I'll tell you what I will give you 2000 dollars for each person who is convicted of voter fraud and you give me a dollar for everyone who votes who isn't arrested and convicted?

The truth is most voter fraud cases is someone who registered in two places but only voted in one. A lot of snow birds do this, being registered in their home state but leave early to a warm climate and register at the poll in another state.

You guys have spent many millions on trying to turn up voter fraud like its a real big thing and it's cost you about 50,000 a vote.

many poor people don't drive, don't have bank accounts and have little need for one. College kids have their college ID or an out of state DL, neither that the republicans want to accept. why because poor people and students mostly vote for democrats. It's a fact, you guys will do anything to get your way.

That's not the issue, Immie. It's things like, say, a student at Univ. Of Florida not being allowed to vote in Gainesville, but only in the Florida town they live in.

Bullshit like that.

I'm hoping that Democrats turn their attention to absentee voting to foil these blatant attempts to make it difficult for young people to vote.

 

[TheSeeker]

The irony here is that Liberals and Obama want every citizen to PROVE they have health insurance, but they DON'T want you to have to prove you are a citizen.

Again, you show your blatant ignorance of a subject, just blathering on because you think you know what the issue is, but are too lazy to actually find out.

Rush and Sean are SO proud!

 

[Meister]

Having an ID, whether a drivers license, or a state ID, is a good thing not only cutting down on potential voter fraud, but also for other state giveaways. Welfare, food stamps, or even cashing a check.
I can't believe that there are liberals out there that could even have this mindset.

 

[get_involved]

"least likely to have the ID" ???

Sorry, but your reasoning and post is ridiculous.

Said student would have the right to vote absentee or to register in Gainesville. I do not see any reason why that would be a problem. But the requirement of having an ID had nothing to do with your scenario as that student would not be able to walk into the polls and cast a vote in Gainesville either way. He/she should not be allowed to with or without an ID.

I honestly cannot understand why anyone would have a problem with requiring a voter to produce identification. I do understand the argument that not everyone has ID's, but quite frankly, I think that is bogus and for the few that do not have proper identification or simply can't afford to get it, I have no problem with supplying it.

[mnbasketball]

Yeah come up with a plan for this, and then pay for it, it would only cost about 5 billion dollars to do it I'm guessing. I don't have a problem with it, but many people don't have access to go somewhere to get this ID, and many people don't have permanent addresses. Students would be another problem.

It's your game, now tell us how this will work and who is going to pay for it, the postman?

holy smoke, HOW FRIGGEN long has absentee voting been around?

How is it OUR FAULT if the YOUNG PEOPLE can't figure out to USE THEM.

but now they want to suggest them using it to FOIL the blatant attempts to make it difficult for young people to vote.

busting a gut on this one.

Oh and Rachael Madcow is an IDIOT.

It's a simple concept. Produce an I.D. and vote. If you are a college kid you do the same thing as a member of the Military and cast an absentee ballot. It's illegal to register in two different districts. The dirty little secret is that unions and community activists might not be able to round up a bus load of unregistered voters and escort them to the polling place if they have to produce I.D.

(proper ID isn't having mail and someone to verify who you are?)

They do prove it, just not to your desire and in places you want it, ( I have voted the last two elections by just walking into a poll and voting, no one in my conservative town was ever asked for an ID)

Every state I have lived in, which are quite a few have required that I show a voter's id card or other id. Maybe some states are different. I consider myself liberal, or at least not a conservative and I certainly believe in voter identification.

So you want people who dont live in a community to be allowed to vote in said community? That seems rather ridiculous. What the heck is the point of voting then if people can just walk in from out of town and be allowed to vote with no questions asked?

There isnt a student alive who doesnt have an ID.

If you don't have a permenant address, i dont think your first priority should be voting. It should be surviving.

But you've made it clear that this more about allowed voter fraud then caring about the voters. I was surprised you were so honest about it.
