Voter Fraud

What is " wrong " with asking everyone to provide a picture ID to vote ? We are a smart nation I'm certain that we can come up with a mobil ID machine. There are codes that can be used to identify what kind of ID it is. Only a picture, or driving, an immigrant not yet a citizen but in this country legal, public assistance only ect...

In order to be done without accusing one party of cheating, sadly theres going to have to be a representative from both parties be present when the picture are taken and signed off on. Thats just the way it is now, no use in complaining. I know that there are enough people on both sides who want to volunteer to help with elections that are willing to represent their party. To oppose some type of a solution only makes it look like you want non citizens to vote.

I know that there are poor people without assistance or home bound where the mobil ID can go to their homes. There are county buses who take people to Drs appointments even disabled people. There can be county buses that can take them for other assistance.. Has anyone without an ID ever been to a Drs appointment, grocery store, bought alcohol, cigarettes or gotten a controlled prescription ? If yes, then it means that getting an ID is possible. Yes it will cost states and counties more money but I personally have NO PROBLEM having my tax money going for something like this. ANYTHING to shut the f××× fighting the hell up.

The reason this is a problem has been explained to death and is clearly demonstrated.

If you don't understand this at this point, it's on you.

@CountScrofula It doesn't matter. Lets end it. It DOESN'T matter wether there was or wasn't. NO ONE will admit that they are wrong. Why not find a a solution . Everybody just want to complain and accuse. Everyone deserves to feel like our elections are legally run and that their vote is counted. Now there are people who don't.

@Roundandroundwego Obviously its not. There are still citizens who think there is a problem.

@missyann Okay, this I absolutely agree with. The problem of belief in voter fraud is there. On purpose. Because it is a scam.

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud and there never has been. What people do instead is that they point at something which is either not understood or poorly explained, and then claim it is evidence of voter fraud.

So the answer is make voting harder. Stop early voting, stop mail in voting, bring in voter IDs. [b]Make voting harder.[/b]

Have you been poor? I have. When you're poor you can get to a registry easy, you can't take time off of your four jobs, you can't get transit or a car to get things sorted out. The more barriers you put in place of voting, the fewer poor people vote.

And wow, look at the skin colour of those poor people who suddenly have a hard time voting.

By inventing a voter fraud problem, you use it as a justification to bring in actual election rigging. Because this isn't about fairness, it's about [b]winning.[/b] Look at the gerrymandering done by Republicans, and tell me they give a shit about fairness in elections.
