I've lived in plaaces where you had to present you ID before you voted to show that you were indeed who you said you were.
When I first lived and voted someplace that did not want to see my ID to verify I was the voter that I claimed I questioned them and did not like that they were not checking.
My first thought was anyone could come in here saying they were me and voting in my stead.
That was years ago.
In Pennsylvania, your voter "ID card" is a picture-less piece of copy paper that has your name, address, district number, and political party affiliation printed on it. That's it, they don't ask you for photo ID to back it up.
Why does the left assume that most black people do not have ID?
Nobody assumes black people do not have ID, but I've seen a lot that suggests poor people (and black people, because they are disproportionately poor) are less likely to have ID than the non-poor.
Again...how do those people cash checks, receive benefits, drive, own or rent a home without some form of ID?
It's hogwash and the dems/libs don't like it because they encourage and count on voter fraud.
Nothing at all wrong with people having to prove who they are and if they are eligible to vote.
The vast majority of people support this.
Probably most of them don't cash checks (when they work they get paid under the table), receive benefits (there are very few benefits available to childless adults, and I suspect lack of ID is concentrated among poor childless adults)...probably most do not own cars or drive (or drive Other People's Cars or even illegally), and those at the bottom of the economy often surf Other People's Couches or live in mom's basement.
I'm happy to prove who I am, as long as I don't have to shell out any cash to do so.
If you don't have ID, you are either not a functioning member of society, or you are engaged in vote fraud. I'm not seeing the problem with the new laws, either way.
When my ID expires, I will not be able to renew it because I don't have a copy of my birth certificate.
So which is it, will I abruptly become a non-functioning member of society, or will I abruptly start engaging in voter fraud?
I have to wonder how a person would be competent to vote if they are unable to check a box on the form. How tough can it be to check a dang box??? I mean really, you can't check the box on the card but you know how to vote????? Give me a break!
Checking a box on the form won't do you any good if you don't have the $ to get a copy of your birth certificate.
