There's nothing BS about it. The courts have already found this to be true. Your "guesses" are not good enough and if you want to ask for photo ID, fine, do so, right after you issue one to every eligible voter in the US.Yes, we believe that one side has indeed lost its mind. And if you want to ask for ID, for something as important to this country as voting is, make sure everyone has one first. Cart after the horse, not before. Simple right, if you think about it.
You've somehow gotten things backwards in bizarro world... It's because voting IS important that we MUST require ID. We certainly do require ID for things much less important. We cannot "make sure everyone has one" any more than we can make sure everyone votes. All we can do is make IDs available for those who need them. I venture to guess, most "poor" people already have some form of ID with which they've applied for the various and sundry government benefits available. I don't know of any government benefit that is available without some form of ID. So this insane notion that we're somehow disenfranchising the poor by requiring a simple ID, is flat out bullshit.
And BTW, voting came long before ID, which makes it more important than ID, which is why you can't be casual about millions of people who would be unable to vote because of these laws. The courts have found that to be true as well...
Not the damn courts haven't decided any such thing, and the courts frankly don't have a thing to do with this.
What the hell do you mean voting came before ID? No it fucking didn't! There was a time when the only people who got to vote had to own land! How the hell do you think they determined how to let you vote then? I'm SURE you had to prove you owned some land in order to cast your vote. Everyone in this country has equal access to state identification. No one is barred from it, no one is prevented from obtaining it. In fact, MOST of these "poor people" you keep whining about, already have ID! They MUST have the ID to apply for welfare! Not only that, but everyone has to show ID to buy alcohol, to fly on a plane, to register for school, to cash a check, to go to an Obama rally!
If it's "discriminatory" to ask for a fucking ID, maybe we should all burn our driver's licenses and refuse to show ID for anything anymore, it's clearly "racist" and we don't want to be that, so let's just fucking abandon ID for EVERYTHING! MORON!
Let me help you out here, since you obviously think I am stupid... The reason YOU don't want voter ID is because that is how your sleaze bag liberal democrats WIN elections! It's been going on for years, and it still goes on today, worse than ever. You win elections by stuffing the ballot boxes with illegitimate votes, and you want to be able to keep on doing so. THAT is why you oppose voter ID!
