This is something that I have never understood. To me it seems like having voters identify themselves is commonsensical. Without having to provide ID, what keeps someone from voting many times in many places or non-citizens from voting? Also, what is so onerous about showing a driver's license or state ID card?

I'm sure that there must be some "obvious" answer to these questions. So I am prepared to learn a bit here.

The bolded part is beyond scary, but it demonstrates how successful Trump has been in brainwashing people toward what is real and what is not real, what is possible and what is not possible.

Do you actually believe a vote merely goes into the system and is recorded, with no other record of it, and no checks in place? Apparently Trump supporters do believe in that type of fantasyland, one that allows voters to hop skip and jump from one polling place to another, casting as many votes as they wish, along with millions of illegal immigrants bombarding our system with votes that should never count.

Trump pushed the themes so relentlessly during his 2016 rallies that at least two supporters were actually gullible enough to put it in place. I believe it was one woman in Iowa and another woman in Texas. They thought that multiple votes for Trump were fine and dandy. After all, thousands of Democrats do it, along with those millions of immigrants.

Here's what actually happened: The system caught it immediately. The look on her face is priceless, after pleading guilty. You mean Trump steered me the wrong way? How is that possible?

And the same thing would have happened to anyone else who tried to double or triple vote. Voter fraud is an absolute myth, one clutched by deplorables and lower. There are fewer than 15 recorded instances of actual voter fraud in the United States since 2000.

Now that’s some great liberal propaganda.

The people who are in the situation you describe tend to vote Democrat. That is the ONLY reason Republicans want to prevent them from voting. So, to make that happen the requirements to get a proper ID card are made as onerous as possible.

Here is part of one story about the difficulties in getting proper ID cards (they are not free as claimed by vote suppression supporters).

Sorry, but your cute little snippets don't really impress me.

How does one know if someone is a US Citizen if no ID is required? Do you have any evidence that people have a hard time getting a government issued ID card?

"The ID does not prevent fraud. It only keeps legal citizens from voting. In other words, it harms our democracy." - Do you have any evidence of this?

Thanks in advance for something more content filled and a bit less cute.

You were doing pretty well right up until the last line.

Try to avoid cutesy little phrases that make you feel like a big shot and that attempt (unsuccessfully) to make others feel small. That will improve your posts.

Now, while I understand your argument, and you have provided more substance than the Fat guy, I am still curious as to if anyone has any numbers to back up the argument.

As with LL, try to avoid cutesy. It only makes your posts noticeably less worthy of reading.

I can assure you that Trump has zero impact on my knowledge, thinking or pretty much anything else (unless you count my knowledge that he is an ignoramus and a-hole of epic proportions - but hey, I already knew that long before he announced he was running for POTUS).

Now, if one generously overlooks the childish cutesiness of your post you did at least make an attempt at putting out some numbers. That much is appreciated. Though the picture remains quite incomplete as far as I can see.

As expected. Republicans have no interest in securing elections.

"Republicans rejected a bid to direct another $250 million to election security ahead of the November midterms."

“There’s $380 million that’s already allocated that hasn’t been spent ― not a dime,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) told HuffPost. “No one explained to me why we needed $250 million more.”

LOL . . . in other words, Republicans are refusing to spend the $380M they are supposed to, and that is their reason to reject properly funding the election security effort.

Ah, a post with some content! Much appreciated.

And without any self-serving cutesiness! Imagine that!

Well done! And Thanks!

If you buy liquor at the grocery store, they will most definitely ask for id.

Or, Trump argues that Twitter is merely an entertainment platform where he posts bluster. This is the problem with law versus "not law."

Trump's Big Government liberal ways continue go grow. He is now demanding ID be used in any transaction as meaningless as buying groceries.

The point of strict voter ID regulations is to discourage moderate voters. Discouraging voters is part of a minority party strategy to remain in power.

I don't know if it's been discussed on this thread, but Truman's constant tweets about 13 or 17 angry democrats, Mueller having conflicts of interest and the agent and his mistress being out to get him are, even if true, irrelevant. Even if they hate him as much as Trump says they do they are still limited by the evidence. Kenneth Starr clearly wanted Clinton's scalp, but he had to give up on Whitewater, Vince Foster and the rape allegation as there wasn't enough, or any, evidence. Miller's final report will be looked at by millions and if it is based on bulls*it he will be ripped to shreds.

Trump's constant tweets about bias insults one's intelligence.

Since we know his tweets are only aimed at his deplorables, then there is no intelligence to insult

Just another simple fact rigged and Dg will neglect and instead rely on Trump to feed them the real news

Please tell me you're joking. Obviously Trump's comment had nothing to do with buying booze.

If Obama said anything 1/10th as dumb as that, you would have brought it up every day for the next 10 years.

Trump is not only a lying, classless, racist, grade A A-hole, but is really out of touch and stupid to boot.

Let's back up to what it takes to vote.

You don't show up, give a name and cast a vote.

You have to get on the voter roll. You have to register to vote. In advance.

Only US citizens can register to vote.

Each state has their own process to register voters.

Going through the DMV is usually the most common way. Getting a driver's license is typical but they have other ways to register.

You have a social security number, utility bills, whatever.

Once you register, you can stay on the roll with regular voting.

These ID laws aren't for registering, they are for voting day.

So to take advantage and cast a fake vote, you have to give a name and address of a registered voter who hadn't voted yet.

If the picture remains incomplete, then more mockery was warranted, not less.

This is a non-subject that only fools believe in

Good summary. DMV registration is the plurality winner but it only accounts for 30-35% of new registers.

This link provides quite a bit of basic info on the process:

Any of you Trumpers still want to say "Mueller never"?

It is suspected now that Mueller's team is not getting back to the Trump legal team regarding questions about obstruction because Trump has moved from Subject to Target.

He just openly committed Obstruction of Justice by suggesting Sessions end the probe.

Still going to take some time because we are breaking new ground here, but it's over.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.
