Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID?

[Dan Daly]

Why do you think you're required to produce a valid form of ID in so many facets of your life? Think about that for a bit, and then get back to us.

another great argument for implants

 

[Impenitent]

Now answer the question:
Absent a state issued photo ID, how does the state verify that you are who you say you are when you show up to the poll to vote?

My 94 year old mom's name on her driver's license is Anita D. ( Lastname.) Her name on her voter registration card is Anita (Lastname.) That discrepancy, in Texas, is enough to require a waiver, or a provisional ballet, to vote. What nobody knows is that her actual legal first name is Lila, with Anita being her birth middle name. She successfully early voted yesterday (Republican,) but she dared not bring it up! In Texas, the driver's license and the voter registration must merely be made to agree, not necessarily be correct.

In a case like that, a provisional ballot is the correct course of action.
As for the name itself... sounds like the agency that issued the license (which was the likely instument of ID for the registration) did not do their job very well.

Her social security card, driver's license, and voter registration (all issued in the 30's or 40's) all have the same error of deleting her legal first name. None are correct, but she's grandmothered in!

So tell me, since Texas has the toughest voter id law in the nation, what good does it really do?

Still no objective, documented evidence from the right justifying voter ID laws, which comes as no surprise.

Showing a valid form of ID is a way of life. And there are various reasons for that. If you do a little research, the reasons will become pretty clear. Voter ID is a reasonable and logical requirement.

No, it's not. A requirement for something that is scarce isn't logical by any means.

Why do you think you're required to produce a valid form of ID in so many facets of your life? Think about that for a bit, and then get back to us.

read post # 32 ... think about that for a bit and get back to us.

It keeps me from voting in your place.

Nothing unreasonable about being required to present a valid form of ID when voting. It's reasonable in most aspects of our lives.

Because Democrats want to make it as easy as possible for the least educated and least successful people among us to vote. Democrats know that the vast majority of those people will vote Democratic. Keep in mind that in the 2012 election, 2/3 of high school dropouts voted for Obama. Also, Romney won four of the six income brackets but lost the bottom two brackets by such a huge margin that Obama still won.

Is it that difficult to carry an ID in your pocket when you go to the polls? Does one need an education to get an ID?

 

[kaz]

Damn, you got us. I mean if you think that, then that's it. The matter is settled, we can't ask people to prove they are who they say they are.

^^^^ Another emoting expert.

Great how you can dismiss and argument so easily out of hand.

"It SOUNDS dumb, so it must be!!!"

LOL, liberals never can tell when you're being mocked. And "emoting" is the wrong word for whatever you meant. You know you're on Google, you can look up definitions in seconds.

Then you admit that it is only a ploy to keep the "riff-raff" from voting. But this is a democracy, and what is good for the majority, is good for the USA, besides, there is no cake to eat.

That's right. It is an open admission.

I already debunked your Apples and Oranges Fallacy, Mole. Why don't you get back to us when you can think critically.

Hey, STUPID....

emote

Verb (used without object), emoted, emoting.
1.
to show or pretend emotion :
to emote over the beauties of nature.
2.
to portray emotion in acting, especially exaggeratedly or ineptly; behave theatrically:
The actress emoted for all she was worth.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

It keeps me from voting in your place.

No, fear of being convicted of a felony would probably be your primary motivation.

Ever heard of a fake ID?

He can't; an ID makes cheating harder -- END OF DISCUSSION!!!!

If they can prevent ONE SINGLE CASE, the hundreds of millions spent will be justified.

Cures for cancer and other pressing issues PALE in comparison!!!

 

[boedicca]

Here's why the Dems oppose voter ID:

One result of the Obama campaigns has been the development of a massive voter database that aggregates an enormous amount of personal and behavioral data. Ever wonder where the information goes when you answer a phone survey on "the issues"? Data at the precinct level enables political campaigns to micro-target get out the vote efforts. where they don't have enough on the ground folks to get low info voters to the polls, then they can always manufacture votes in areas where the margin is low enough to be overcome by fraud.

Exactly. Now explain what that has to do with sarcasm where I'm mocking you. Here's another definition you should look up.

dumb ass

Noun.
1.
to not grasp when you are being openly mocked because your ego prevents you from believing anyone is smarter than you despite clear and overwhelming evidence that there are in fact many people smarter than you because frankly you're not that smart.
2.
to continue to not grasp when you are being openly mocked even when it was pointed out to you your point was not a lucid response to the post you were attempting to address.

Used in a sentence.

Mad Cabbie is a dumb ass.

I agree -- whole-heatedly.

Mad Cabbie is a dumb-ass.


Now that that's out of the way, do actually intend to contribute to the thread or are you simply here to point out character flaws and incorrect grammar?

Republicans do the same thing, sending Ann Coulter to whatever location republican votes are needed.

No you didn't. That's just another one of your nutter delusions. Why don't you protest ID requirements by simply refusing to provide it in the future. Let's see where that takes you. Just give it a shot. Make sure you come back and tell us how the protest worked out for ya. We'll be waiting. Good luck.
