But those voters will be confronted by a byzantine array of voter restrictions, voter-suppression efforts, and voter discrimination standing in their way. A review by The Daily Beast found at least five voter-suppression practices in active use today. All are led by Republicans, all have disproportionate effects on non-white populations, and all are rationalized by bogus claims of voter fraud. They include:

The most corrupt political party in America, and this doesn't even including all the GERRYMANDERING THE GOP was found guilty of!





Someone needs to suppress my dead dad from voting.
Someone needs to suppress the illegal aliens being allowed to vote in many states, no questions asked.

Are their any hard news reports of this or is it just partisan activists giving their opinions?

'Welcome to the Future': SCOTUS Ruling on North Dakota's Voter ID Law Underscores Nationwide GOP Attack on Voting Rights

Georgia GOP Rig The Vote Effort Spreads To New Attack On ...

more lies /spin from the fascist liberals


and government issued (not student)ID will help PROVE you are who you say you are, and WHAT DISTRICT YOU BELONG TO... that is the issue

most fraud is based on people who shouldn't be voting (in that particular district) and MULTIPLE voting (district hopping)


this includes COLLEGE STUDENTS

the reason a college id would not be is it is a TEMPORARY id...and does not establish RESIDENCE

why shouldn't everyone have a photo id to prove who you are and where you reside....after all we vote for representatives of a PETICULAR district


but what most are not getting is that its not just about legal/illegal citizen status.....


this whole issue is about you showing WHO you are, and WHERE you reside.....especially the residency since we are a representative republic

do you think Nancy Pelosi who represents San Fran would want a person from Oakland voting in her district??? especially if he/she is voting against her???



that's the whole issue with the college votes and colleg id's too..

a COLLEGE ID is a valid ID of WHOM your are...but NOT a valid id of RESIDENCY.






example...Minnesota

Part 2. Classification as State Residents. Students who meet one or more of the following conditions on the date they apply for admission to a state college or university shall be classified as residents of Minnesota.

A. Students who resided in the state for at least one calendar year immediately prior to applying for admission, or dependent students who have a parent or legal guardian residing in Minnesota on the date the students apply.

B. Minnesota residents who can demonstrate that they were temporarily absent from the state without establishing residency elsewhere.

C. Persons who moved to the state for employment purposes and, before moving and before applying for admission to a public postsecondary institution, accepted a full-time job in the state, or students who are spouses or dependents of such persons.
Minnesota State Statutes 135A.031, subd. 2
Procedure 2.2.1 - State Residency

so unless you LIVED there for ONE year PRIOR to going to school, or moved there for EMPLOYMENT prior to attending school...you were NOT a resident in the eyes of the state




=-------------------
so OK, you are a NEW YORKER going to MN. for school...you have a MN college ID.....you are NOT a resident of MN...your VOTING DISTRICT is still in your county in NEW YORK

if you attended college in MN..but you were an NY resident until you OFFICIALLY MOVE..that is why MOST states require you to get a new license within 30-90 days of you moving there....MN REQUIRES you to bring in your other state license and take a written and vision test within 90 days of you MOVING to the state...NC is that way too......so a NY id (or license) was ILLEGAL if you WANT to identify yourself as a MN resident...to vote in the MN elections (even the national elections)...but MN doesn't qualify you (as a student) to be a resident....




that's the whole issue with the college votes and college id's too..

a COLLEGE ID is a valid ID of WHOM your are...but NOT a valid id of RESIDENCY, but YOUR state CCP does show your RESIDENCY, and your photo

a RESIDENT NEW YORKER attending TEXAS a+m is still a resident of NEW YORK and should vote in NEW YORK unless they CHANGE their RESIDENCY to Texas.....that's why absentee votes exist

what's UNFAIR about showing that you "john doe' lives in district 99 when you are voting for a representative of district 99........??????

actually its a good idea

it says you CAN vote if you(OR your parent) establishes residency(in your NEW LOCATION of your college)..therefore invalidating your PREVIOUS residency...

as to what some have and don't have (individual states), and when they purge their rolls,,, we NEED a NATIONAL STANDARD...I believe there should not be state drivers licenses only a USA drivers/nondrivers id.. just like every other country in Europe.

when you go to Germany, you get a German license...not a Bavarian or Frankfort license
