Then it would not matter either way, from your take... So, why all the resistance.
Why label black people as stupid, to push the thinking a different direction? That is racist.

They want to cheat in elections, or they think black people are too stupid to do what white people do with ease.
I'm not sure what more it could be, poor minorities are too stupid to get ID or they're looking the leverage the system.

An ID is so fundamental for living in modern society that I don't know frankly how you could not have one, poor minorities included.

These people can figure this stuff out. Poor black folks understand the need for an ID.

It's such a fundamentally dumb argument that is so easily debunked, yet these Soros plants in the media and elsewhere keep trotting it out time and time again.

Where was I being resistant? Seems like you're seeing what you want to see to push an agenda.

Good question... why do you label black people as stupid? I never said anything about black people. You did.

Drive around the Mississippi Delta and you will see the homes of people who do not lead a "normal modern life." Services are often over 10 miles away, making it difficult for people without cars, internet, or phone service to take part in normal life. No banks, no buses, no Uber, no stores within 10 miles of communities like Money, Midnight, Drew (where my father-in-law is from), Panther Burn, etc. The local economy is cash-based. Homes may be owned free and clear through inheritance or rented and paid for in cash. Most homes these days do have indoor plumbing, although a small percent still lacks basic modern utilities. The Delta is a whole different world right here in the United States.

Lower Mississippi Delta

Social security cards were not issued at birth until relatively recently, the year before our daughter was born. I got mine in the early 1970s after my father died. According to the Social Security website, getting a number at birth is not automatic. For people who were born at home with no birth certificate, it can be problematic to get one. I know that the state does offer free transportation to get a voter ID, but I don't know how you set it up when you don't have access to the information.

no public bus goes to those places or no mail box? you are saying that no public bus and the Post Office doesn't delivery to Mississippi Delta? How about Fed Ex and UPS? What's this the Amazon in Brazil?

Is this for real? I didn't drive until I was an adult and didn't have a problem going to the DMV to get photo ID. FWIW, I'm of Hispanic descent.

Did you bother to read through the other posts before posting? I doubt you did. If you had done so, you would have seen and watched the video in post #19.

what you are saying is BS, everybody else in the delta can get a driver license but the three people you are talking about. maybe they dont need to vote till they do get up and get an id, you will need it to cash the welfare check anyway

I would think you are opposed to a vaccine passport then too.

If it is racist to require an ID to vote like democrats claim then surely they must feel it is racist to require an ID to purchase a gun right?


And before someone responds with "voting can't kill people", wrong again. According to democrats Trump killed 500,000 people with covid and he only got in power due to voting.


I am fine requiring ID's for both or neither.

If voting is a right, then the government should provide the ID for free.
