Vast majority of Americans support photo ID requirement to vote, new poll says 84% of Americans favor requiring a photo ID to vote, Gallup Poll finds

[Althea]

I'm not sure why you have a problem with asking for an ID...There are other ways to get one if your BC has been "lost" or you "never had one"...
I have no problem with the government helping IDs happen... because Everyone should have one...
How do you open a bank account without one? How do you go the hospital without one? How do you fly? Some schools these days even require an ID to enter...There's quite a long list of things where it's much easier if you have a photo ID...sometimes, even necessary...

When that issue is solved, you can demand ID to vote

==================================

Why are Democrat political against only Americans voting in elections?[/B][/SIZE]
​

"Fox" -- bwahahahaha!

A majority of Americans also support reproductive freedom, stricter gun regulations, same sex marriage, national health care, and equal pay for equal jobs for women/minorities. Why don't you?​

People show photo ID when they register to vote. They must prove who they are. After that, your signature is enough to show that you are the person who registered.

Yep. Not only do you have to provide proof of identity and citizenship, you also must provide proof of residency. We had to have two forms of ID plus proof of our address when we moved up here and registered to vote at the DMV.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

None. When you register. Why do you need it after that?

Because MAGATs are convinced that the only reason voters reject them and their sickness is because we're all voting illegally. **eyeroll**

If you needed an ID when you registered to vote, then you have an I.D... Just bring it along..

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Why would you not?
We all need to show it for dozens of reasons.

What's really going on here is that forcing ppl who have already shown ID when they registered to have to do it again to vote -- so they cannot vote using absentee ballots. In other words, it's just another lame Reichwing attempt to disenfranchise Americans, preferably those who don't vote for you fascists.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

My objection is about adding another layer of complication to a system that wasn't broken in the first place.

Yeppers. If ppl are forced to show ID when they cast their ballots, no one will be able to vote absentee. That's the goal here, of course.

Oh just stop with your logic.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Make sure the person voting is the person that is registered

I bought will call tickets for Six Flags ....guess what I had to show ID to make sure it matched the person that bought them!!!

I doubt if Six Flags had your signature on hand in a will call ticket ledger, did they? Apples and kumquats, Shirley.

Oh just stop with your logic.

I know right? If you vote in person you bring an ID.. You had one to register. That means you have one now...

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

If you had to have a photo ID to register to vote then you already have one...just bring it!!

And show it to the mailbox? Show it to the lockbox at your precinct when you drop off your absentee ballot?

What a simpleton you are.

 

[TOP]

Everyone should have a photo id... If someone is experiencing difficulties getting one , there are plenty of local organizations to help out... Churches and schools just to name two...

 

[ExpressLane]

Just voted and found out he wasn't on the ballot.

 

[Althea]

There is no issue...

That's what I've been telling you.

Glad that you're finally convinced.

Patience is a virtue.

Yep you just identified the problem sending out UNSOLICITED ballots. When you REQUEST a mail in ballot in Texas they require you send a photocopy of your photo ID

That's what I've been telling you.

Correct...there are multiple ways to get an ID...you have to have on to register to vote, after all...right?

So you now want election workers to be handwriting experts.

 

[Althea]

I live in Smalltown USA. I never voted in another state, but my signature has changed a lot since I registered in 2004. I never cared to vote before that, but Bush was dangerous. A lot of good my vote did.

But...everyone who works the polling station knows who I am, so the fact that my chicken scratch signature today does not really match my original signature doesn't matter.

The idiots who parrot the Nazi talking points re. voting/ID don't realize that the poll workers probably know the elderly non white people who do not have ID. They've been voting for decades.

NICE dodge. At least you are now making MY original point.


Baby steps.
