Quite a few states have had Voter ID for some time now. And it has not stopped the types of fraud which occur. I've been pointing it out to you tards for a long time. Years.
But they still aren't allowed to verify citizenship for voter registration. The system is designed to encourage fraud.
It seems to have worked just fine for years and years...until suddenly someone decided there was fraud and simultaneously came up with a stack of new regulations that disproportionatly affected those who tend to vote for the opposition.
I still haven't figured out how cutting early voting, reducing voting hours and stopping Sunday voting prevents fraud.
Citizen is the first and most important requirement to vote, only an idiot wouldn't think it makes sense to verify it to register to vote. ID is the only way to verify the person casting the vote is the one registered. It's common sense to require both. I know, you regressives don't believe common sense exist, unless it's a regressive talking point in the gun debate.
Ok...here is a question for you regressives - why do you promote legislation that prevents certain citizens from voting?
States are also strapped for cash, why pay poll workers and rent polling space for days that are really unneeded? I haven't had to stand in a line to vote here in TX at all, which tells me they could shorten the early voting period easily by a couple of days and not hurt anyone.
Why? Because they are needed, though it's mostly by those who tend to vote democrat.
Why are you so keen to disenfranchise them? It's convenient to claim it's about cost. But voting is a fundamental right in a democratic system.
Give me an example of a law that only applies to certain citizens.
Not going to play that game.
There are laws designed to or which inadvertently have a disproportionate effect on certain classes of people. For example the Poll Tax.
