Voter ID is White Supremacy!

Looks like you left your "AlterErgo" switch off for this post.
 
Once upon a time there was a car.

It was extremely soft and fuzzy.

One day, he walked up to me, purring softly.
So I started petting him, stroking his soft, thick fur as he gently purred.
But he was so soft and furry and cute, that he put me to sleep!

And that is the story of Nathan D.'s mercedes.

The end.

I used “translate” on that post and what came back was, “the poster is a douchebag!” Who’d have thought!
 
quit fucking starting threads then.

The mere fact you haven't been banned from posting yet, or better yet de-platformed entirely, is a frickin' miracle.
 
We should just ask for vaccine ID to enter the building instead. Then we can check your identity from that.

I hear that vaccine ID isn't racist, so problem solved.

But then it wouldn't have a picture, so the right would argue on that.
 
I think in the tech age, the gov't should invest in private/public keys for voters who register or MFA. I'm not sure how they would be verified or doled out, but seems fairly simple.

They could invest in Titan keys or something in bulk. https://store.google.com/product/titan_security_key?hl=en-US

And I know there are several issues with this....not saying I've identified every single issue that might exist here, but MFA would be the easiest.

It has the added benefit, if done right, at providing MFA to the entire state for use on other secure applications.

Related, kinda: https://9to5google.com/2020/02/11/google-political-security-keys/ - seems Google gave them out for campaign personnel in 2020
 
I worked in DC from about 1995 until 2016. You always needed an ID to get in a Federal building, and after 9/11, most private office buildings also required an ID. That's different than being asked for your papers before exercising a Fundamental Right.
 
Hey if you're an illegal alien, your arrest warrant is good enough to get you on a plane to wherever you want to go, Dementia Joe's got the tab, too.
 
As an outsider... While I kinda get the logic, it seems a weird hill to die on. Instead, Democrats should invest in campaigns of getting appropriate IDs, registrations, etc, for their prospective voters. I get it's not that easy and nowhere cheap, but should be a lot more efficient at getting the vote out than almost anything.

(In my country you need Passport to vote in parliament elections or national referendums, and you get a wet stamp in notes section of it for doing so. That was introduced for independence referendum from Soviet Union, in high stakes circumstances when both sides on the brink of firing had credible fears the vote could be cheated. Then, it was (and imho still is) literally illegal to not have a valid passport.)
 
Only a third of American adults say they have a valid and unexpired U.S. passport (37%) – about the same percentage as those who have never had a passport at all (38%). Another one in five Americans (20%) have an expired or invalid passport.


I think mine expires this year. No stamps in it.
 
Apples and oranges.

No, requiring ID is requiring ID. But thanks for confirming your "It's different when (D)'eez do it!!" bias.


The only difference here is when (D)'eez approve, it's somehow magically not racist and white supremacy anymore.

Requiring ID is ONLY racist and white supremacy when (D)'eez don't approve.

And that pretty much applies to any and everything that (D)'eez don't like.

There are identification requirements in each state. While I get the whole practical side of things....it seems simple....but in reality you're putting the burden on voters to change what they've done to address a problem that simply does not exist.

You may resolve a few election fraud issues, but why spend so much time and effort to address a few issues when you're impacting millions of people, possibly?

My request is this regarding new election laws-

if legislators want to put more burden on voters (and by burden, I mean putting ANY additional effort on voters AT ALL) to address risks of election integrity - then provide the exact risk you are working to address with ample evidence of the risk and explain thoroughly how the new requirements will remediate that risk. Additionally, explain how changes to election process/staff are not sufficient to address that risk (i.e. put the burden on the government first before voters)

As for making it easier to vote - I'm all for it. I don't see why it should be a huge effort for any American to cast a vote that they know will be counted. I also don't care about having 1960s style "we used to do it this way and we liked it" bullshit. We used to do a lot of stupid things in the 1960s.
