I never understood why anyone would have a problem with having to show an ID before voting in any US election.

Voting is a cherished right as a citizen, imo.

There is no good reason to oppose laws that protect our elections from foreigners and other voter fraud.

A bunch of nonsense excuses are made, but it is just that.... nonsense.

Please explain how not allowing expired state-issued photo ID preserves the integrity of our elections? Has the holder thereof not adequately proven their identity for you?

It appears her accounts are fraudulent and is causing major social media sites to violate the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1997. At least I couldn't find a disclaimer on "her" blog.

I'm meeting with the FTC about it next week in D.C.

I don't think I'd eat a pound cake a week after it was baked by a preteen.

She thinks 16 year olds should be able to pre-register to vote because it creates more government jobs to keep an eye on 16 year olds and that's what government is for.

I never have understood why Conservatives continue to say the voter fraud is common and widespread despite no proof of it.
