IDs should be mandatory in order to vote

[progressive hunter]

The only people I’ve ever heard saying black people are too stupid to get an ID are conservatives.

Did you watch the video? No one said black people are too stupid to get an ID.

then what did they say??

 

[colfax_m]

Black people are too poor and stupid to get an ID.

The only people I’ve ever heard saying black people are too stupid to get an ID are conservatives.

No.......that is a lie...

The people who say blacks are too dumb to get IDs are the democrats....they tell us this all the time.....

Is ColonelAngus a dem?

Which dem said that?

 

[progressive hunter]

then why do demofks object to blacks getting IDs? please. how can I help you here?

I’m not objecting to “blacks getting IDs”. I’m objecting to making a new requirement that we’ve never had without working on helping people get IDs that might not have them.

why would people need help getting something like that??

do you think they are to stupid??

not so much racist ...as classism...poor people dont have ids...cant drive...why bother with a state id..that they charge for? if the gop is serious about voter id...establish center where people can get ids...but then how to they prove who they are? again a paper trail that can be impossible for some...home births should be registered but often are not...home schooled kids etc...the paper trail is thinning daily

myself i am not pro or con on this...i carry an id at all times..due to the oppressive nature of police in the usa and also cause i am pretty sure i need it to buy certain items...

These blacks must be both racist and classist.....right?

New polling shows that a large majority supports voter ID laws that require individuals to show a photo identification before voting, including almost 70% of black voters.

The poll, released on Wednesday by Rasmussen Reports, found that 75% believe photo identification should be presented before voting and that 69% of black voters support voter ID laws.

Broken down by party, 60% of Democrats support showing an ID to vote compared to 89% of Republicans.

Poll: Sixty-nine percent of black voters and 75% overall support voter ID laws

Listen up, filthy humans, The Pale Orc is speaking. Why would you not show an ID to vote?

That seems reasonable enough.

The problem is, monkeying with the voting rules has become an entirely political game. Both parties' concerns about the "sanctity of the vote" are disingenuous. All either side cares about is tweaking the rules so that their supporters are more likely to vote, and the oppositions' voters are less likely to vote. Republicans currently presume that poor, disaffected people will be more likely to vote Democrat, so they want rules that will scare these people away from the polls. Democrats want to pave their way and make it as easy as possible.

Republicans pretend they are worried about fraud, and Democrats pretend it's all about the "will of the people". They're both lying. They just want power.

well I just want people who are allowed to vote to prove they are allowed to vote. still not sure how that violates anything. One needs to prove one is of age to buy cigarettes' or alcohol. people who think poor people don't smoke and drink are too stupid to comment here.

If they are a democrat, then yes...democrats think blacks are too dumb to get any ID let alone a voter ID...

Here they are.....left wingers and what they think of black Americans...

[dudmuck]

Then issue everyone a free ID card.

If that’s done then I’m on board with in-person voter ID requirements.

Of course poor people have IDs. Being poor doesn't eliminate all the occasions in life for which one needs to identify oneself. If anything, it adds on occasions that non-poor people don't have.

You have to have an ID to apply for any sort of government benefits. You have to have one to cash a check. You get involved with the court system in any way, shape, or form, you're gonna need an ID. As Azog pointed out, you have to have one to get married. If you're paying rent for a place to live, you had to have an ID to acquire that place to live.

There already ARE centers where people can get IDs. They're called "Department of Motor Vehicles". Some states do issue them for free, I believe, and no state is charging more than a nominal fee for them. My area has a shitloads of homeless people in it, and I've seen THEM whip out an ID to buy alcohol and cigarettes, so pretty clearly, this is not undoable.

I just quoted someone saying it in this thread. No one in your video said it.

"Don't have the knowledge"

"Not Informed"

"Don't have the access and don't know how it works"

Yea, nobody said that.

 

[jc456]

I don't believe you.

Why?

 

[colfax_m]

so you think they're too inferior to figure it out. It's exactly what I said.

No, I think sometimes they face hurdles that you don’t anticipate which makes what is a simple task for some of us become an arduous task for others.

None of those are synonymous with stupid.

such as? you're skating the issue, and I'm enjoying the laugh.

 

[ClaireH]

It should be required. The govt should issue everyone a free id.

Now that’s one governmental cost I’d back- along with anyone else who wants a valid process.

 

[jc456]

how does one oppress minorities? are you saying they're too inferior to you?

I already get one, voter's card. I show my license with my picture.
