A Bama herf sounds like a great idea and maybe we can make it happen in the near future.


I could probably ease that way for a herf.

Why Dems hate Trump so much.... Just watched some CBS News.. Made Trump look like this huge flip-flopper without even a hint of explanation on about half a dozen topics or more... then they go into the Texas voter ID law and say Iit was created to keep blacks from voting.. no pproof of course but that didn't stop them from saying it a dozen times... talk about brainwashing.. d'oh! .


So the news has to backup what they say but the administration doesn't? Alt facts, large scale voter fraud, etc... horse

Are liberals the only ones capable of voter fraud? Seems so, as the GOP uses that as an excuse to put up barriers to voting...

I'll pm Eric over the next few days. He's been scarce here, so likely very busy. Then we'll see what we can do.

Blacks are too dumb to get an id I guess? Speaking of racist things...


Have to have an ID to drive, buy cigarettes, buy alcohol, cash checks, create a bank account, and do any number of things, but if you're required to have one to vote it's racist.

Can anyone please explain this to me so that I may understand it? Because it makes absolutely NO SENSE to a rational person.

Don't be obtuse macs. Any requirement can be racist or not racist.

SAT testing was initially put in place to reduce Jewish participation in colleges, because they thought Aryans would do better. Is knowledge of math and English racist? No. But if you're implementing a requirement with the intention of reducing participation by one race or another...

The simple fact that the reason given for requiring a license (rampant voter fraud) is not proven anywhere makes one suspicious.

Meh.. it seems like unnecessary restrictions. As someone who thinks we have too much regulation this seems like a solution without a problem. Or at least without a problem that anyone is willing to admit to.

My point is we are ALL required to have ID for all the things I listed. How is requiring one to vote any different. Hell, my friend was homeless (his choice) for 2 years... and he had an ID.

The only people that don't have ID's are homless. How do you rent an apartment without one? How do you go through life without an ID unless you're homeless?

You can't have a job. Or a bank account. Or make any major purchase... etc. I'm not being obtuse, you are.

You need an ID to initiate that. But not to maintain it. There was a time in my life, many years in fact, when I owned a home, worked, had bank accounts and did not have a "valid" government ID... my old drivers license had expired and I had no reason to get a new one in the state I was living. If that state had required a photo IDto vote it would have been an unnecessary hindrance to me.

but that proves the point of the other side... you didn't have an id because you were lazy...

That's fair. But I also didn't do it because it really wasn't convenient and I had other things of higher priority. Why would I want to have to figure out how to get to a dmv when didn't need a driver's license for anything I did. I can understand if someone had things like a kid and bad job wouldn't have time at all to do that. Especially if they worked during dmv hours. Now that doesn't mean it discriminates against one race specifically... but it does discriminate against the working poor in urban areas (where cars aren't a necessity)... and apparently rural areas of Alabama according to monkey...

^How do those people have bank accounts? Cash checks? Buy booze? Tobacco products? Apply for food stamps? Apply for welfare? Apply for unemployment? Medicaid, or social security or SSDI? Pick up prescriptions?

The excuse that poor people are more adversely affected is plain and simple Bull Sheet. If they're so poor they receive benefits... they need an ID to apply for them.

1 - not everyone who is poor receives benefits. I'm surprised you're only concerned about the poor who leech off the system but don't care about those who might not.
2 - I already pointed out how one could have a bank account. I had one for probably 7+ years without having an id.
3- it's even easier these days to cash a check without id. I cash my checks over the phone or through an atm. What sort of 20th century tools do you use?
4- buy booze or tobacco? You now are only concerned about the poor who smoke and drink...? Or are young enough to get carded for smoking and drinking?...

Might want to pick that Mic up. I don't think you're done with it.

There's a simple pattern here. Your average suburbanite assumes everyone needs a driver's license... because they can't imagine living their life without one. But there are a lot of people who can live without one.. I think the gfs driver's license has expired since we moved to SF and she doesn't want a CA License... so she fits in that now.

But urban areas are where one party does well and another party does poorly. So of course they're both going to tell you how much the other side is lying and just wants to cheat the system. In that situation I'm going to default to less regulation not more. But you go ahead with your desire for big government.

As for monkeys example ice got no idea... I don't know how things work in the deep south... But that sh1t seems questionable as hell

It was indeed, which is why, in the face of a couple of investigations, the offices in question were reopened. My point was, that whether it was by design or a fortuitous coincidence, either side can and will take action to deter the other. It's not just the GOP (as I pointed out further down), it just happened to be in this case.

I think there's a difference between not wanting one and not being able to get one... everyone can get one..
now if you want to use that as an excuse for not being able to vote I have no sympathy... I don't care what your situation is, elections are 4 years apart.. that's a hell of a long time and a bunch excuses for not getting it done... Mellow

My mother-in-law registered her two kids (my wife and brother-in-law) when they became of voting age in the 1980's. For years she would send in three absentee ballots, for herself and her two kids. She was a staunch Rep, as were all her friends at the American Association of University Women. Her friends in the AAUW, at least the 4-5 who played cards with my MIL and had kids, did the same. Eventually, when the kids moved out, she stopped, but the kids had been indoctrinated and are GOP........voter fraud?

Yeah, I'd say so, unless her kids were aware and okay with it.
