I think it's a safe bet that Crooked Hillary's vote count would have been several million [fewer] had there been voter ID laws in place. Geez, I wonder why you idiot Dems are so opposed to these laws? Losers.
1) Voter ID is already in place, to varying degrees, among the states. (You sound a little like those folks that said Doug Jones never would have won his Senate seat if Alabama had had voter ID. It's got about the toughest voter ID law in the nation!) More to the point, zero--ZERO--evidence of widespread voter fraud has been found in looking at the 2016 election. This is so much the case that DJT disbanded the bipartisan commission that was looking at the question.
2) I've noticed that the rational Hillary folks--who seem to be the great majority of them--completely accept that DJT is President. They may not *like* it, but they don't dispute that he won the Electoral College fair and square. Yes, there are a few crazies who don't accept it, but they seem to be genuinely few (and, for the most part, genuinely crazy).
So why is it that some rational Trump folks--I'm assuming you'd count yourself in the group--can't seem to accept that HRC won the popular vote? What's the difference? She still lost where it counts--in fact, I think her having an edge of millions in the popular count only *showcases* the mistakes that she and the Dems made in 2016. So why can't you just accept her so-called "win" there, and move on?
[When GWB lost the popular vote, I didn't hear any GOPers saying that the Dem candidate only "won" that because of voter fraud. Why does it seem to matter to you now?]
3) I and others care about *some* current and projected voter-ID laws because those laws do/would disproportionately discriminate about poor and working people--just as some states' restricted voting hours do. I want everybody who's eligible, to have a genuine chance to vote. Sorry, does that make me a bad guy?
Contrast these tough "in person" voter ID laws with the lax--in some cases *shamefully* lax--procedures governing absentee ballots. I don't hear GOP cries to toughen up that process! Ah, but the legislators who are pushing for tougher voter-ID disproportionately receive votes from absentees. Hypocritical much?
4) I have been a voter for more than 30 years and have never once pulled a Democrat lever for any office. ("You Democrats," my eye.) But I am interested in looking at things rationally, rather than taking knee-jerk positions. You?
