Then make sure everyone gets one.
But you assfucks don't want to do that. And that makes it cheating.
Why are you stopping people from voting to solve a problem that your solution does not fix,
There are NO statistics of significant voter fraud that a photo ID would prevent.
My favorite story in reference to the “significant voter fraud” defense of not having a picture ID is this:
At some point before 2000,Theresa LePore in Palm Beach County was elected as elections supervisor. She went on to approve the butterfly ballot which cost Gore the state and thus the election(this is according to Pat Buchanan). As a result, when 9/11 took place (and no-Gore wouldn’t have been able to stop the attacks)…we needlessly went into Iraq (Gore would not have done that) and have been there ever since.
The election that put her in office was likely not a victim of “significant voter fraud” but it was likely a very uninformed choice made by very few voters in that county. Someone with devious intent could easily sway an election that few care about…and it winds up with calamitous results.
Further more, there is no (or should be no) requirement of the office being sought having to be an important seat or a seat at all before we get serious about ensuring we have a sterile voting process. Case in point, the local sales tax in some municipalities I lived in was cheaper in unincorporated areas. You could drive a few blocks more and pay less because you were not paying city sales taxes. So when tax increases were on the ballot, it would be very beneficial to business owners in the City to have the County raise it’s taxes; making their businesses more competitive. Having lax voting laws could allow someone with devious intent to manipulate the results.
If we can make the process more sterile, why not do it?
As long as it is free of charge, there is no good reason not to.
And if voters cannot muster the chutzpa to have their picture taken…that is on them.
