To avoid election fraud like we have in the U.S....Britain is going to institute Voter ID for voting....

[buckeye]

Even our resident liberals KNOW deep down that it is asinine not to require ID to vote, it just so happens to help their cause so they don’t care. Their programming requires they ignore the obvious and to go to the trusty fallback plan and deem it racist. Much like the “rich need to pay their fair share” completely false narrative, It is a simple yet effective strategy, particularly on gullible, ignorant, brainwashed people.

What states don't require an ID to vote? I know here in Maine we do not, but we really don't need one way up here...

How does presenting a govt issued photo id at the polling place stop any voter fraud?

What's the purpose?

Please explain what fraud a govt photo id of people already vetted and registered to vote stops?

A voter ID can prevent someone from voting multiple times since the voter rolls can then be verified and bogus IDs removed from the rolls.

Ever hear of the old Cook County mantra "vote early - vote often"?

You can't vote multiple times in person.

You can only vote in the precinct you are registered in, when you vote, your name is marked as voted.

If you had already sent in an absentee ballot, then your name is marked as voted in your precinct voter roll, and you will not be able to vote in person.

There have been CHECKS in place, in election law, for decades that prevents double voting....kyzr!!

Even if you show up in a precinct that is not yours, they will give you a provisional ballot, which they will check to see if you voted in person or absentee already, before counting the provisional ballot.

And without photo, or at the minimum strict non-photo, id you can vote multiple times as multiple people, as long as the persons you are impersonating haven't voted yet.

Hard for a dead person to beat you to their vote.

Yep.....The British saw the last election and realized that stealing an election becomes much easier if you don't have voter ID.......

No the British saw nothing of the kind. Boris Johnson decided it would be a good idea. Members of his own party told him that it's a waste of time and money. There is no measurable voter fraud in Great Britain. 33 cases out of 47 million.

Voting: Could ID checks affect who participates in elections?

The government says it will pass a law requiring identification to vote.

This is simply a way to keep poor and elderly voters from the polls.

Once again, conservatives solve problems that don't exist, and ignore the ones that do exist.

[Resnic]

We don't need a voter id. We just should move to "real id" like I just got this year. It's just my driver's license that has a longer expiration date and required a bit more identification when you first get it.

Just use that for every single person to be able to vote.

Everyone else has to have state id which should also be stricter to get than current state id and just call it "real state id" instead.

Specify with examples and evidences of election fraud in the US.

There is not one serious case with evidence.

After reading that go to your search engine and put in, "listing of confirmed voter fraud".

To think a country as large and as diverse as ours has never had one serious case of voter fraud is pretty naive and intentionally obtuse.

Why don't you go into your local bank and ask them all of those questions when you try to do any business in there at all? Open an account and ask them why they need ID, ask them how that prevents fraud, tell them it's racist. Apply for a loan and ask them why they need ID, ask them how that prevents fraud, tell them it's racist. You people are insane.

In person voting fraud is basically, NON EXISTANT.

The chances of being caught, are too big of a risk....a felony as well.

No one is going to risk voting in another person's name....

First, they could have already voted...you would be caught, immediately.

Plus the risk of the poll worker, checking you in, who is also the real voter's sister, mother, teacher, neighbor, church fellow, mother in law recognizing you are not the person you Claim to be...you are an imposter....

Or the person standing behind you in line is the mother, sister, father, brother, friend, coworker, or neighbor of who you claim to be....

It truly does not happen, and never has been a fraud issue at the polls.

If there are 5 cases of voter impersonation at the polls in the 200 years of voting, I would be shocked....

Try again!

 

[Oz and the Orchestra]

As only 35% of people entitled to vote turned out for the Local Elections in England and 27% in Mayoral Elections, you would think the gov. would be trying to find ways of encouraging people not discouraging them.
You have to register to vote anyway and every six months you get a letter to your home asking if your circumstances remain the same. If you don't answer you get thrown off the register. You get a voting card for each election but don't have to produce it as you are asked your name and address which is on their list of people entitled to vote.
Don't know why the Tories have put this in the Queen's Speech as there has never been any suggestion that voter fraud is taking place.

Don't know why zguy thinks we in the UK are being duped in elections. He clearly hasn't come to terms with the fact voter fraud did not take place in the US.in any significant numbers. The US Courts have said it
The UN International observers have said it and Trump has been banned from Twitter for continually peddling the lie.

France has a very diverse population with significant minorities. To vote, one must present one's i.d. No one has a problem with this.

Do they have a required National ID?

No one has a problem here with presenting ID. What is being objected to is the idea of a national VOTER ID. One super special piece of government issued ID without which, you cannot vote.

Any government issued ID should be adequate.

 

[Care4all]

Yep.....The British saw the last election and realized that stealing an election becomes much easier if you don't have voter ID.......

I was thinking who really is prevented from voting if ID is required ( BTW I had to show ID to get my vaccinne) At first it seemed like no one. But them it hit me felons, possibly 17 year olds and those who wish to vote twice.

The vetting takes place when you register to vote, if you are not qualified because you are under 18, or an undocumented or documented immigrant, or a felon, etc etc....you dont get approved....

and those disqualifiers are checked throughout the year by your voting precinct election officials....updated felon lists are used, And even the social security death index is used by some states to remove the dead, all the way up to election day, to remove registered voters that become ineligible.

You mean the election procedures and laws that were trampled on by leftists installed in state governments around the country, you will believe the worst of any conservative, but your fellow leftists are lily white and would never do anything underhanded, right? You wear blinders, and until you take them off nothing you say can be taken with any seriousness. To believe that requiring ID to vote is 'racist' is both ridiculous and naïve, it's also racist in an of itself since you believe that POC either can't afford ID or are too stupid to obtain it. Why don't you try going into a predominant minority neighborhood and poll them and ask them if they have ID or not and see how they look at you like you're an idiot. Do you think POC don't have bank accounts, they don't do personal business every day just like you do? They don't travel, go on vacation, buy alcohol? You're the one sitting in your lily white tower looking down on POC like they're a bunch of brainless morons who can't even do the most basic thing needed to move about in a civilized society. Who exactly are you worrying about when it comes to not have an ID to vote? The poor, or is it only POC?
