Oh and this applies just as easily as your statement, no?
"I'd knowed Jimmy ever since we was young-uns and Jimmy always voted straight ticket
Republican, so's I voted for him, in his memory."
I personally never have heard a Republican say that while I have heard about half a dozen Democrats say things very similar.
So no, I don think that one can as easily say that at all.
Point being that the few people who vote illegally, are and will always be, BIPARTISAN.
Then why isnt the effort to validate and protect the validity of the voting process BIPARTISAN?
And just because it is in your view "only a few votes" does not make it OK, does it? Many elections are decided by a handful of votes, like a certain Senator from Minnesota can attest, finally having one when numerous recounts finally gave him a majority.
An extra thousand or so illegal votes can paper over that much faster dont you think?
Easy Peasy...
Th Republicans are simply trying to prevent CITIZENS from voting by requiring an GOVT ISSUED PHOTO ID which millions of the poorest, and disabled and elderly citizens do not have...while the wealthier who own cars and drivers licenses have to go through no hurdle at all....
When all the States need to do is check every person registered or registering to vote against e-verify, which identifies citizens vs non citizens.
As many judges have stated Republicans have purposely and with surgical precision developed these new id laws to specifically prevent CITIZENS from voting who primarily vote Democratic.

how do they buy cigarettes and liquor then? I'll also assume they can't travel cause you need an ID to board a plane. why isn't that of concern for you? Now they can't fly either.
They are the poorest among us and the disabld among us and the elderly among us, and you actually think they gt on airplanes and travel and ned a govt id with a picture?
and the point is, they have lived their entire lives in the USA, without needing a govt issued photo id and have voted their entire lives without needing a govt issued photo id, by using other forms of id to prove they are the person registered to vote, that now, all of a sudden, are not allowed.
And also, since illegals can get driver's licenses, exactly how does this voter id at the polls stop them from voting?
This measure is simply a measure to prevent or curb the POOR, DISABLED, AND ELDERLY citizens who do not drive, from voting.
All the States should do, is check every registered voter, against e-verify to see if they are citizens or not, and if they are NOT, then do not approv their registration, and or remove them from the voter rolls, so their names ar not evn on the voter rolls.
WHY DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT...???
