Good point. Every state I've lived in since age 16 (30+ years ago) has managed to put the fact that I am required to wear corrective lenses while driving somewhere on my license. People under 21 also have that fact designated on their licenses. Makes sense to think they can also show whether or not someone is a citizen.

The California Driver's license shown above for the non-citizen very clearly states "DRIVING PRIVILEGES ONLY". Wouldn't that tell you that such a cardholder could not vote or get any citizen-only benefits?

As I revealed in my post, that print is tiny and at the bottom of the license. And it would also require those looking at it to be honest. I pointed out in another thread, CA voting places had registration forms for people ON November 8th...despite the rules.

Trump is the one harping on this. Did you miss that part?

I didn't vote for Hillary or Trump, but what is your definition of an overachiever?

More generally, Hillary won the people making under $50,000 per year vote.

Trump won the white college degree/graduate degree vote.

I spent part of last summer in Las Vegas, and in some of the more affluent areas of the Las Vegas metro (parts of: Seven Hills , MacDonald Ranch, Southern Highlands, Summerlin, etc. I saw some Trump bumper stickers, and zero Hillary stickers.

Trump is quickly ridding the White House of the Obama stench and proceeding to a GREAT presidency.

There are good reasons we don't elect presidents by the popular vote.
No, there really isnt. We only did so in the beginning because slave states wanted their black slaves to count towards representation.

Now women and black people can vote.

No, it has to do with you and republican claiming "the people" voted for Donald Trump, when in reality, the people are divided and a majority clearly didnt want him.

I'm so happy Trump lost the popular vote and crushed Hitlary in the electoral college, instructional to the ignorant, delusional, leftists. I hope he does it again in 2020.

You would think it would be simple for the president to grasp this concept and shut up. I have never heard a winner complain so much.

If this is not an argument why the electoral college should be abolished, I don't know what is.

Trump is calling for an investigation into voter fraud. What happens if he finds out that he lost the electoral college, too??????
