No the shame the voter fraud so often associated with the Democrat party. It is part of the party history. Claim the truth and be proud.

How can anyone live today without a valid ID? How do you cash a check? Buy a drink or tobacco products? How do you buy a car? How do you sign up for gov benefits such as welfare or Social Security?
I know quite a few people that if they didn't drive they could function without ID. They don't drink/smoke. They have direct deposit. They buy cars with cash. They don't fly or do anything that requires ID. I myself fit in that catergory. I do need ID so I can sign up SS and Medicare.

So which is it, will I abruptly become a non-functioning member of society, or will I abruptly start engaging in voter fraud?
As to your first statement, why can't you just file
for a new copy of your birth certificate ?

As to the second question, probably both.

i know you are a republican, but you can't afford to be this passive and blinded by anything your party does.

i think party loyalty is for the weak and is a big reason why the electorate is so dumbed down.
I think that an involved citizenry is important.

My party has nothing to do with it.

The fact is, there have been many issues with voter fraud in certain districts.

Don't you want that stopped?

If the check box said "free food" they would see it.

If there were verified cases of voter fraud, as you seem to suggest, then there would have been a recount of the votes. If a democrat still won an election after the recount, then that democrat obviously received more votes than their opponent.

That negates your previous post, stating that a democrat can only win an election through voter fraud.

Shame on you for your blatant lies.

There are verified cases, and convictions. They are easy to find.
