Neither do I so I'll stick with my feeling that increasing voter turnout results in poorer choices. My logic in that is that the most interested and informed voters would already be voting and the increase would largely consist of people that are less interested and informed but voting simply because it has become easier or they feel more pressured to.

Showing an ID is not good enough, we need a signature match.

Sounds very elitist.

Perhaps what you meant to say was increasing voter turnout results in choices you don't agree with.

Think about that.

Since republicans are never going to win in Cali anyway, could they pack up and strategically move to Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania Ohio and North Carolina?

It was implicit that showing an id meant authenticating the id.

Sounds very logical to me. You would prefer to have voters be less interested and informed?

Are you kidding me? Yes, this one was in no danger and knew it. Whether 130 cops were beat up or not is immaterial. This one was in no danger and shot an unarmed woman. He should have been tried for murder.

Why authenticate the ID when you can authenticate the person? You could authenticate the person with a signature match. The drivers license, with it's little signature and the 3 year old photo is not much help.

The ID (drivers license or other) can be useful if the signature match is a problem, like when the person has the shakes, maybe getting old or something. It serves as a good back up for the election judges to review.

She was a traitor, breaking in.

How would you feel if she was a Muslim leading a bunch of angry Muslims into the capitol building? The act itself was wrong, she had no place there, she broke the law and she was warned.

I think she was nuts, driven crazy by all the lies about a stolen election. Those liars are at fault here. They placed her in harm's way.

She knew the risks. That's why those cops carry guns, precisely for this reason. Otherwise, what is the point of even arming them, the thing isn't an ornament. If they are not supposed to use weapons perhaps they should be disarmed, but would that be wise?

Your answers are absurd. How about answering in a format that allows discussion, as I did.
