since most reps have leisure time to get photo ids
You people get the strangest notions sometimes. Most Republicans (check that, most
conservatives) have one or more jobs, and families to which they devote a shitload of time and energy. That leaves them very little "leisure time" to do anything, and the little they have, the last thing they want to do with it is stand in line in some government office. That's why renewal-by-mail and car-registration-by-mail has become so popular.
They'll get Photo IDs as needed, but it takes a chunk out of their other activites, notably work or family time, neither of which makes them particularly happy.
"Leisure time", it ain't. For that, you'd have to see the unemployed, the welfare queens, and people who sire lots of kids sometimes by different moms and abandon them. In a word: Democrats.
i guess ca is strange in that a person's signature is all the id that is required to vote
Yes, it is, and yes, it is strange. I believe there are other states that do it that way too, though some are starting to get wise and require IDs.
In the People's Republic of California, someone can ride his burro north across an unguarded part of the border (there are lots), ride up to a precinct poll, dismount, walk in, glance at the voting rolls on the table, and announce, "Pro favor, senor, me llamo Ellsworth Codrington III Esquire". And the poll workers have no choice but to check off old Ellsworth's name, let the guy put any kind of mark next to it, and hand him a ballot, which he can then fill out with the help of a guide provided him by a helpful agency in Tijuana telling him (in Spanish of course) who the most pro-open-borders candidates are (no shortage of those here, either).
When Elly-3 comes in later that evening after his third production meeting of the week, they'll tell him, "Sorry, sir, but our records show you've already voted. You'll have to go downtown to the Voter Registration Center, fill out eight forms, and jump through thirteen hoops before you can vote. By the way, the Center closes in 15 minutes, it's a half hour away downtown, and I hear the traffic really sucks tonight. Have a Nice Day".
Yes, it's strange. But true.
