It's awesome how Trump is almost always right. The media bashes him for days them it turns out he was right

Time to implement national Voter ID laws! Of dems think black people are too stupid or lazy to get an ID, we start a govt subsidized system to get these people an ID.

Problem solved and everybody happy!

Trump won in a landslide victory. 306 to 232. A historic victory which will be studied for generations to come.

As long as my state continues to let us vote by mail, I don't care if other states wants to make it so the voters have to show their IDs to vote. All that is going to do is shrink the number of voters. That will create more problems because that would mean more people would be going without representation because of a small group of people selecting who represents everyone.

It will be studied, but probably not for the reasons you are thinking.

It will change. It's much too easy to fraud. All it takes is one fradulent vote to nullify the vote of a real person who stood in line for hours to exercise their right.

There have been multiple cases of counties votes exceeding the number of registered voters. That is not representation of the people, that is fraud.

Fraudulent voting is more likely to happen on the collecting side rather than on the voter side. The chances that someone is going to wait in a long line just to cast an illegal vote is extremely rare and a waste of time. So do what you want in your state, but don't ever think about taking away mail in voting in my state.

What is keeping a person from opening the white pages and filling out a stack of ballots?

Let me ask, do you support national regulations on things like gun control?

Well since mail in ballots don't work that way in my state, that isn't an issue. You can't just get a stack of ballots to fill out, your ballot is mailed to you, and you only get one.

As for your gun control question, the answer is yes and no, there are some things when it comes to gun control I think should be done at a national level, and other things where state level is just fine.

Voting by mail is a recipe for fraud. It shouldn't be allowed. I'm sure it was a Democrat idea.

How long do you think lines are? Good grief, as long as I have been voting, back in San Diego and here in Ohio, I have never had to wait in a long line to vote. Maybe a few people ahead of me, and that's it.
