Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID?

[paulitician]

And there it is. Just as I said.

You can show these dolts over and over and over and over that every single example of voter fraud they have cough up over the years could not be stopped or prevented by Voter ID, and yet they continue to say "Voter ID makes voter fraud much more difficult".

Jesus H. Christ!

Without the requirement that you present a valid ID at the poll, how does the state verify that you are who you claim to be?

Common sense. It is what it is. Thanks.

Common sense Verifies the Identity of someone that you don't know?

ROFLMNAO! Sweet MOTHER that's absurd.

Why are you required to show a valid form of ID in so many aspects of your life? Think about that for a bit and then get back to us.

the libs have left the building-------------------------------

I ask them that all the time. Voter ID is a completely reasonable and logical requirement. The ones who oppose it so vigorously, are the ones who want to rig Elections. It makes it harder for them to do it. And they hate that.

Well said. There is no reason to fear Voter ID. It is a reasonable requirement. Just as it is in so many other aspects of our lives.

Well said, eh?

Someone does not know standard election protocol and for that, you give him the big "thumbs up, really?"

 

[paulitician]

There is no reason to fear Voter ID. Unless you're trying to rig Elections. Showing a valid form of ID is a common sense requirement. Just think about why you're required to show a valid form of ID in so many other aspects of your life. It is a reasonable requirement.

Well, if it is NOT going to fix a legitimate problem, then, there is a reason to not implement it -- It's called wasting money.

In government, wasted money means life or death to people who need this cash for something important.

It's an UNREASONABLE infringement upon my privacy.

It's not perfect, but it is a reasonable and just requirement. There is absolutely no reason to fear it. Just as you don't fear showing a valid ID in other aspects of your life.

proving who you are is an infringement???? tell that to the DMV, the welfare office, the post office, your electric company, the US passport agency, the food stamp office, your local liquor store, your pharmacist, the TSA, the voter registration office.

Are you really as stupid as you appear?

Both Parties want to rig Elections. Nothing new there. But Voter ID makes it harder for them to do it. Period, end of story.

I'd ask the same of you, but we already have the answer to that one, don't we?

Ok, no problem... There is no reason for your to fear Voter ID. Capisce.

Awesome sauce! Nothing to back up your lame-ass-argument and then you, quite smugly, demand that there is NO NEED TO back it up!!!

I swear to God almighty, I love the way the partisan brain works!

You mean the argument you know you have no sound response for?
How about the question you know you cannot answer:
Absent a state issued photo ID, how does the state verify that you are who you say you are when you show up to the poll to vote?

OH! A teachable moment. Pray tell... what is the 'standard election protocol' of which you speak. I ask, because I've voted in every election since 1978 and while I feel I understand the process... this term, which you imply assures the integrity of the election, escapes me.

Wash me in your wisdom, Master.

Yeah sure, neither party wants to rig Elections. God, are you for real? Or are you just a naive duped youngster? Because i can excuse your ignorance if your just an average big mouth youngster. I'm compassionate like that.

Voter Registration Eligibility
The Registration Process

You can use Maryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR) or submit avoter registration application to your local board of elections or the State Board of Elections at any time. However, an application must be postmarked by the voter registration deadline in order to vote in the next scheduled election. If you submit a voter registration application during the period that registration is closed, your application will be held at the local board of elections and processed when registration reopens. The close of voter registration is:

• June 3, 2014, for the Gubernatorial Primary Election. If using Maryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR), you have until 9:00pm to submit your application; and
• October 14, 2014, for the Gubernatorial General Election. If usingMaryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR), you have until 9:00pm to submit your application.

Where may I apply to register to vote?

You can use Maryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR) to register to vote or, you may complete a voter registration application in person at:

• Your local board of elections;
• The State Board of Elections;
• The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene;
• The Department of Social Services;
• The Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA);
• Offices on Aging;
• The MTA Paratransit Certification Office;
• All public institutions of higher education;
• Recruitment offices of the U.S. Armed Forces;
• Marriage license offices; and
• Offices for students with disabilities at all Maryland colleges and universities.

May I apply to register to vote online or by mail?

Yes. You may register to vote online using Maryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR) or you may print an application from our websiteor contact your local board of elections or the State Board of Elections to request an application.

What information do I need to provide on the application?

In addition to basic identifying information, federal law requires that you provide on your voter registration application a Maryland driver’s license number or MVA ID Card number or, if you do not have a Maryland driver’s license or MVA ID Card, the last four digits of your social security number. Your application will NOT be processed unless you provide this information or affirm, under penalty of perjury, that you do not have a Maryland driver’s license, MVA ID Card, or social security number.

How do I affiliate with a political party?

You have the option to register with any of Maryland’s recognized political parties. If you choose not to register with a party, you will be registered as “unaffiliated.” If registered as unaffiliated, you will generally not be able to vote in primary elections, but you will be able to vote in any nonpartisan primary election held in your jurisdiction, such as a primary election to select nominees for the board of education, and any general election.

If your application is complete, you are considered a registered voter. If you do not receive a Voter Notification Card three weeks after you submit an application, you should contact your local board of elections. You can also verify whether you are registered to vote by visiting our voter services website.

Registration is permanent as long as you continue to live in Maryland and keep your name and address current. You do not have to re-register when you move within the State.

^^^^ Here you go, dummy.

An interesting dissection of what is really behind the Democrats obsession with voter ID's!

Lots of folks think Democrats oppose voter ID laws because they want to cheat and such laws interfere with their plans. That’s an attractive explanation, but it ignores the far more complex architecture of voter ID opposition. Here’s the real reasons Democrats oppose voter ID. Understanding these three reasons will help you decode the whole narrative behind voter ID. 1. Opposition to Voter ID Is a Base-Mobilization Tool. Simply, Democrats and civil rights groups spend millions of dollars opposing voter ID because they are trying to scare minority voters into thinking that Jim Crow is back. If Jim Crow is...

The PJ Tatler Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID

I think a fourth reason would be because without voer id the democrats can produce almost anyone at the polls to vote the way they are told. But then again I doubt they could do that in numbers large enough to effect national elections, but local? Certainly.

Always amazes me how little the democrats are willing to think of poor people and their intelligence.

Show me a "rigged election" that could have been prevented with a photo ID.

Well, your fear of ID requirement seems pretty irrational. Do you always fear showing valid forms of ID? And if so, why?
