NBC 4 in Washington, D.C., reports that the District is concerned that too many people getting the vaccine in DC are not residents, so it’s going to do something about that:

As the District launched its new system to register for a COVID-19 vaccine this week, it also announced major changes to help ensure more doses go to people who actually live there. ”The essential worker burden for vaccinations in the District is disproportionately high [compared] to any other jurisdiction,” said Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, head of DC Health. Going forward, the District will prioritize 90% of its appointments for eligible residents only. In its new registration portal, D.C. said essential workers should bring verification like a work ID badge, letter from employer or paystub. ”One of the ways that we have to ensure that we are not vaccinating residents from other jurisdictions who don’t actually have an essential job in the District of Columbia is to ask for some type of proof for that,” Nesbitt said.
Identification to prove that people are in the right jurisdiction? Funny how this works, when a liberal government is trying to control something it actually cares about. This comes just as congressional Democrats are trying to abolish state voter-identification requirements for in-person and absentee voting and progressives are calling it racist voter suppression to ask voters to cast ballots in their own precinct. We are endlessly told that asking for ID scares people away just as surely as turning fire hoses on them. What if it turns out that this is actually just a routine way for government to verify that it is dealing with people who are entitled to what they are trying to do?



IMHO if you can't show ID then you don't get to vote. If you don't have ID, there are people who will help you get one, and that ID should be required even for absentee or mail-in ballots.

Where the fuck can you vote without showing ID?
 
The premise of this thread is ridiculous. Do you think they're not going to vaccinate homeless people because they have no ID? Idiots.
 
Fail!

Having an ID is one thing, but forcing voters to get a GOVERNMENT ISSUED PHOTO ID, was the issue....repubs would not let long time older voters use the IDs they had, like work ID, or SS card with an electric bill with your address and name......

Maine. We do not need a govt issued photo ID at the voting booth, !just signature matching our registration signature. And I'm just fine with that....
 
If we can have a national Selective Service registration we can have a national Voter Registration service.
I registered to vote the first time I registered for the Selective Service,.....same place, same time...pretty simple....but we aren't talking about either of those on this thread
