That's different than voting. And Six Flags is a private enterprise so they can do whatever they want.

Depends on the poll. 538 says it's even in PA and that trump is up by 1 in GA and NC. I don't know about AZ.

Over and over again.
Bullshit. It makes everyones job easier and faster.
Obtaining ID is difficult for a subset of Americans. Older people can have transportation problems. The data needed to get an ID can be difficult to get. Birth certificates can be problematic, especially for people who came before computer systems Some hospitals went out of business and others merged. Poor people can have difficulty with money and transportation. Rural people can have access problems with abbreviated hours and long distances to DMC offices. Solving the problems can cot money some people cannot afford.
It is not a coincidence that those who have problems tend to vote Dem.

Bullshit. You cannot get through life without one.

Under federal law, private sellers can't sell to someone they know — or someone whom they suspect — wouldn't pass a background check, but they don't have to verify it either way. And unlike federally licensed dealers, like gun shops, they don't have to keep sales records or ask to see permits, either.
Yeah, given what's been going on in the last 30 years, that is a horror, you sheet wearing schmuck!

Lol. So having to get a picture in addition to doing paperwork is easier?
Get serious for a minute. This country and the voting system existed for hundreds of years without picture IDs for everything. Why in God's name would you have to show a pic before you adopted an animal, bought nail polish or picked up an Rx? How does picture ID change anything about buying a house, flying, renting a hotel room or getting a fishing license?
Repubs always complain about the government being too much up in peoples' business and then turn around and want them to do it even more.
What are you babbling about? You and I both know a photo ID is a requirement for existing in this country.

I'm arguing that there's no need for photo ID in a lot of circumstances but if it's annoying you, just move along.

Voting is a fundamental right. The government’s authority to protect voting rights stems from Constitutional amendments adopted following the civil war and legislation passed during the civil rights movement.
There is no Constitutional requirement to show picture ID to exercise that right.

Althea told me...........
Because it isn't necessary. I cannot think of 'dozens' of times I had to show my license. Certainly not to vote
Althea
Althea told me...........
And millions of elderly non white people don't drive, so obtaining an official photo ID is hard to come by in Red states.

Althea told me...........
Red states that require ID to vote do not. Which is what prevented them from implementing it in the 11th hour in '20. The courts would not allow it.
