Why is a voter ID an issue

@MalteseFalconPunch I don’t know what you see but I see part A of a plan being executed.
And it was a direct address from the President, not a national ad council PSA

@MalteseFalconPunch it’s how it’s being sold to the public. We haven’t been told to do anything out of patriotism for decades dude.
We are following Chinas lead a decade later . All they have been talking about for a decade is patriotism .

Dude I just asked a question. I’m not jumping through your hoops. @anythingoes477

@Coldplay That's what I thought. Typical Rumper. Blow hard...but when asked for something rational, factual and intelligent to back the bullshit......then they're not gonna play that game anymore. Your rock is waiting......back under it "dude".

@PrincessVelvet Bearing arms is a right. Try getting a gun without an ID.

@Adogslife Like I said, you don’t get it, and I can see from your question I would probably be wasting time trying to explain it, but I’ll try. Yes, I can do all of those things where I live. But in the South last year we had to warn relatives to make certain they were still registered so that they [b]received[/b] those ballots. In several (mostly black) areas names were being arbitrarily scrubbed from voter rolls. And considering the mass turnout in November the only reason anyone would feel the need to change the process now would be because they didn’t like who won.

So your saying, without doubt, that blacks were being purged from the voters registers? And this can be documented?

@Adogslife Yes.

@exexec no offense but I’m not going by “as I understand it” as an answer I can believe.
I’ll do my own HW on that.

@AthrillatheHunt I would expect a wise person to seek authoritative answers. That is exactly why I wrote "in my opinion," since I am not an expert. I see very few (if any) expert opinions on SW, so all posts, including mine, should be taken with more than a bit of skepticism.

@exexec I’m not a doctor or beltway pundit, but I play one on SW. lol

I wrote the exact same thing. It’s a partisan issue.@MarkPaul

@AthrillatheHunt Portugal. The Citizen Card was developed about 15 years ago, before that you had to have different cards for different things (including voting).

@EuphoricTurtle Tudo bem?

@AthrillatheHunt Tudo fixe! 😉👍

No. Not at all. I am not dismissive of the things you state. I am not at all in favor of suppression. I am not a Trumper, believe it or not. And I did not know your race. Where I live you can get a state ID. It is $6 and can be processed at a State License agency. I’m sorry if my comment offended you. I truly did not intend it that way. @zeeva70

@Coldplay apology accepted. Where I live IDs range from $9-13. I've worked and volunteered with low income and minority populations. I know first hand that often getting an ID is out of reach for many or replacing it after it's been lost or expired. Not all of these people fall in this group but many do. Many face more pressing day to day priorities. It doesn't mean they're cheating when voting but it presents an opportunity for more privileged people to exploit this weakness. This is nothing new.

Thank you and I do accept this. @zeeva70

@CopperCicada what was wrong is you didn’t render into Ceasar what Caesar wants (money).
