Who WOULDN'T support voter ID? You know, to make sure that only legal citizens are casting legal votes.....
That is done at time of registration.
States like mine have 'motor voter' laws where the person is eligible to enroll to vote at the DMV. That is one place that makes perfect sense because it is creating the ID everyone seems to be so concerned about.
Once enrolled, all that is required is a signature match at time of voting, which is traditional.

In my state most inner city poor do not drive or own cars. Same in nyc. I think it would act as a limitation for a certain class of voters. Not sure if that is an issue country wide.
like in 2016 when half the country had full on meltdowns claiming the Russians rigged the elections?
Exactly. I bet you were thinking I would have an excuse for 2016.
I don’t blame Facebook, Russia, etc. She lost, she should’ve put in the work and went back to the rust belt instead of doing victory laps raising cash in states she had locked up.
and I don’t mind people being upset when they lose but stop blaming Russia, illegals and tricknology and just take the L like an adult.
Also, Hillary conceded, she didn’t have a meltdown and demand recounts or call it cheating. Even before the 2016 election Trump was claiming fraud if he lost. That is what you call a sore loser.
Is it easy to get if you move around a lot? What if you are homeless?
It's situations such as homeless people that make me question voter ID requirements and their constitutionality. It's no problem for me or most people on this forum to have an ID to vote, but for those who are homeless, don't have a vehicle or transportation, or others with unusual circumstances that prevent them from having an ID who have every right to vote absolutely must not have their vote suppressed.
I support requiring voters to identify themselves via a state issued identification card.
I support mail-in voting.
I support voting over the internet.
It 2021. Requiring people to travel to a voting station is stupid beyond words. It wastes time, fuel, and is prone to error/fraud.
Where would most poor citizens go to get their ballots notarized if they couldn’t in a govt office or a bank? My social service agency does not take walkins.
When I needed one, I would go to the local Mail Boxes Etc. They had a notary there.
In my state most inner city poor do not drive or own cars. Same in nyc. I think it would act as a limitation for a certain class of voters. Not sure if that is an issue country wide.
I mostly read the OP link, and from what I gathered, I absolutely support Joe Manchin's compromise voting rights bill, and I'm a conservative.

I know this will shock some people, but I do NOT think that making sure that the homeless vote should be much of a priority. Yes, their situation might be through no fault of their own, but the fact is that they, in my opinion, contribute nothing worthwhile to this county, so I do not think they should have a say as to how it is run. And as far as some people making frequent moves, I have probably moved at least 15 times in my adult life (probably closer to 20), and I have always managed to vote without too much trouble -- meaning that, yes, it has been something of a hassle a couple of times, but I still managed to vote.
