Should voter ID be required??

All voters, 84% Yes.

Democrats, 70% Yes.

Republicans, 96% Yes.

Independents, 84% Yes.

That 70% of Democrats are fine with Voter Id's being required is surprising to me. Soccer, and MG oppose it because they know it would be a disaster for the Democrat Party. They can tap dance around that all they want, that is the reality. Every Democrat should oppose this, but 70% of them are too stupid to understand what this would mean for them. These 70% aren't for Voter Integrity because they are honest its because they are stupid. MG AND Soccer have to be wondering what the hell is wrong with those people. Any other time, they fall right in line.

Only 0.2% of people ever commit murder, yet **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests.

Joe

There in no need for you to try to think for me. I have the ability to think for myself.

I never said I was against somee form of voter ID.
What I do say is it is up to each state to set the rules. Not the Federal Government.

Demanding a birth certificate and or Passport is over reach and not up to the President to decide.

You may have said that the states can set voter ID rules, you just didn't say it in here. But ok you are saying it now, so here we are. I can only imagine the kind of voter ID rules the Blue States would implement. Maybe an expired bus pass with no name on it would suffice, or Or maybe they can have the Somalians cook something up for them at one of the Learing centers. A reciept from Dollar General perhaps.

You need ID for Nyquil now. Maybe your Nyquil ID will work. That might be as legit as some of the fake drivers licenses floating around. Look that's me, that proves I'm a citizen, see my Cardinals cap? Give me my ballot.

Joe will be pleased to know I agree with Millgirl 100 percent, I don't care what Joe's poll shows.

There is a hidden Republican agenda, although it's not so hidden.

Ya, don't doubt the validity of the poll because you know it is accurate. Just throw it out that it was my poll, and move on. And yes you agree with MG, because, hell what choice do you have?

Once again, you are on the wrong side of basically an 80-20 issue. I understand that on this one, you have virtually nothing to work with other than some lame ass, ugh, it costs too much line. Never mind that you need and ID for virtually everything today. You have to push the party line though so you do what you can with a trash hand.

Voter ID cards: solved

Let’s say these cards cost a buck a pop, which they shouldn’t.

Cancel this jerkoff Arc de Trump vanity project and every American that turns 18 by Election Day forever gets a card indicating their status to vote.

Problem solved.

Will that happen? No. Because Trump is a jerkoff child and b) that would give post-facto evidence that they’re about to get mauled in the midterms.

He’d be nailing the lid on his own political career’s cardboard casket.

But yeah. Get worked up about it.

I'm not sure why I bother with you...

Joe says

I said "I don't care about the poll, I didn't question the validity of it (although I should because you quoted it) - saying I don't care what it says means... I've formed an opinion on this and if some poll says something else, it's not going to change my opinion.

You project your own beliefs on everyone...if anyone on this board follows every MAGA talking point no matter what.. it's you Joe.

Even the ultra conservative Heritage Foundation's own data shows a "problem" doesn't exist.House Speaker Mike Johnson even said that, despite a lack of evidence, he knows “intuitively” that “a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections.”

Thank you Soccer..

I am sure Trump has this information.

This link makes it easier for most people with even limited education to see that Trump has other reasons he wants to make it more difficult to vote...

I don't think it's that controversial of a topic, most people in general would believe in a proof of identification being required, or requested if the person is not known to the judge.

That's not voter suppression.

Voter suppression happens when access to either the identification or the polls is made difficult by any number of measures. It could be having one large polling location for large areas of a city where lines are long, or transit is not reliable.
It could take the form of having to jump through an unreasonable amount of hoops to get the ID.

Educate yourself on voter suppression. Do a little reading outside the comfortable echo chamber.

This is how incompetent racists can still win elections, when people of color are given more barriers to stand between them and their right to vote.

This made me laugh because it's so ridiculous, but a great example of this Administration promoting a narrative that doesn't exist.

To highlight widespread "voter fraud" sent incompetent Kristi Noem to Arizona to hold a press conference on election security, specifically in Arizona.

Noem called Arizona’s elections an ‘absolute disaster’ and made the false claim that there is widespread voter fraud in the state.

The first question asked, which should have been anticipated:

Reporter: "Can you offer us any examples of voter fraud in Arizona"?

Noem: "Oh, I'm sure there's many of them"

Why they sent Noem to talk about voter fraud is unclear, I guess they don't trust her to talk about ICE anymore.

The liberals call it unconstitutional. Here is the thing. There is no such thing as voter ID.

Basically, all it is to show your ID when you go to vote to prove who you are. I can have card (the one you get from the county clerk telling where you go to vote) I can have mine saying I am Marshall Faulk & bam I am done, now if I cannot prove that I am him I cannot vote.

Now, I am all for to prove who you are. The liberal & socialist Democrats don't want this because it will stop voter fraud & they love voter fraud basically just go to any polling place say show them the card & no proof you are the person & you're done.

I think we need to prove who we are when voting cause, it will stop voter fraud & the right person wins. If the liberals & socialist hate it then tough cookies because there is nothing against law to show ID to prove you are the said person on the card.

These Democrats who of course oppose this had to show picture ID themselves when they voted against voters showing an ID to vote. They lie about everything. The tools that vote for these people are then put in a position where they have to lie like hell when defending them. They know they are lying, they don't care. ZERO INTEGRITY.

Yup

Sending Noem is like sending a clown...she is such a joke and never tells the truth..

I think all that botox in her lips has drifted to her brain.

If you are an illegal alien, you can’t vote per federal law. How do you prevent non documented, illegal foreigners from voting in our election?

Why not the Federal government, especially in federal elections?

In 1998, I read that Northern Ireland medical ID’s which were being used as a valid identification was being, “easily forged”. They had to take massive anti-fraud measures, thus strengthening voter identification.

Birth certificates and passports?

This is what you need for a State ID here in Illinois:

To get a State ID (specifically a REAL ID in Illinois), you must bring original or certified documents to a Secretary of State facility proving: Identity (e.g., birth certificate/passport), Social Security Number (card/W-2), two proofs of residency (e.g., utility bill, bank statement), and signature.

Now, to argue that people shouldn’t be required or mandated to have access to their own identification is stupid.

What hoops??? Even Illinois requires you to have a valid photo ID.

If you move here from another State, Illinois requires you to get a photo Id within 90 days.

People can vote at their County seat!
