California Man Arrested For Showing I.D. To Vote

A local early voting precinct was briefly thrown into disarray today, as a man was arrested for showing his I.D. to vote.

Authorities said Justin Davis arrived at the voting location at around 9:00 A.M. and presented his driver's license to horrified poll workers who immediately called the police to report the blatant act of racism.

"There's no place for this type of lawlessness in California," said Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Paul Marquez. "We received a tip that there was a man showing his I.D. to vote here, which is a brazen violation of California law. Our officers arrived quickly to apprehend this monster. I'm just glad we were able to get him off the street before he could show his identification to anyone else. This place just keeps getting more dangerous."

When reached for comment, California Governor Gavin Newsom cited this latest incident as a perfect example of why voter I.D. laws should never be allowed. "Just look at the harm this man caused," Newsom told reporters. "Here he is — obviously a dangerous right-wing white supremacist — walking into a polling location and showing his I.D. Such bigotry will not be tolerated on my watch. We will continue to strive to make California a place where nobody knows who is voting, whether they can legally do so, or what happens to anyone's ballot after it's been cast. That leads to free and fair elections — the California way."

At publishing time, Justin Davis had been charged with hate crimes, found guilty, and sentenced to three consecutive life sentences.

Tsk, tsk, that'll teach him 😄
I've got NO PROBLEM with the theory of voter ID, as long as it's free and easy. I DO have a problem with the practice of making it differentially harder for the elderly & working poor. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/challenge-obtaining-voter-identification

"Voter ID laws have been estimated by the U.S. Government Accountability Office to reduce voter turnout by 2-3 percentage points, translating to tens of thousands of votes lost in a single state." https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-the-vote-voter-suppression-in-2020/

Alabama is a case in point. A state shouldn't be allowed to do what Alabama did, passing voter ID laws and then closing ID issuing offices in predominantly poor or black counties.

@ElwoodBlues NYC illegal alien crisis costs will crack eye-popping $5 billion on shelters, security and food — amount could double by 2025
@sunsporter1649 So you can't name a source for telling us all those alleged 25,000,000 allegedly illegal aliens are currently drawing taxpayer dollars?

(1) Got a source for the 25,000,000 number??
(2) Got a source for them all drawing taxpayer dollars??

@ElwoodBlues New York City will spend at least $600 million this year on shelter and services for the around 24,000 Central and South American illegal aliens who have flooded into the city, according to new estimates released by the city’s Independent Budget Office.

You should never be asked to show ID to vote. Its against the constitution of 1776.

@HumanEarth Of course not. But you need to have one to buy a cigarette, which is more logical, right?
