Hope it fails.  Looks like another attempt to just make voting harder.

Voting harder?  How about voting less fraudulent?

You're hopeless.  You don't respond to posts that PROVE everyone in the US already has an ID or is capable of obtaining one.  Who do you know that is too incompetent to get a free state-issued ID?

If you do know that person, should they be voting in the first place?  Voting is not just a right. It's a duty that requires some modicum of knowing who you are voting for.

When the system enables mass fraud that can't be remediated during the tallying, and you're against fixing that, you're the problem.

I for one got no problem with making voting "harder".  I feel "they" (just guess who these fu*kers are...) should have never made it easier to vote in the first place.  But "they" don't care if you are qualified or even a US citizen to vote.  They just want votes.  If "they" had their way cats, bats, and rats would be able to vote.

And I wouldn't be surprised they did in the last election.

Being able to vote should be hard.  Very hard.  It's not something that should be taken lightly. 

The future leaders and path of our country is too important to let it be shaped by people who feel the nation's voting laws equal the equivalent standards of voting for American Idol.

You feel you have the right to vote?  No problem.  Meet the fu*kn standard.  If it means getting a genuine approved ID and standing in long lines to vote, so be it.  Don't be lazy.  Don't be a crybaby.

And in all of my years of voting, there always was assistance for the disabled and language challenged.  Always.  Don't know what all the BS about voter suppression is all about.

Everything else just begs for fraud as we saw in the last election.

When the government makes it easier to exercise our civil rights under the 2nd Amendment,

THEN I'll consider making it easier to exercise our right to vote.

Yes, you can argue one without seeing progress in the other, but if you're going to argue on principle, they should both be as easy, or difficult, to exercise.

What if we required an annual background check, 3-14 day wait after registration, and an 8 hour training class affidavit in order to vote?

What if votes had to be mailed by certified, registered mail like gun permits in Hawaii?

What if drug addicts, domestic abusers, and the dishonorably discharged Veterans could not vote?

What about Social Security recipients who have a relative handing their finances?  Should they vote?

Go through all the categories of people/groups prohibited from buying or possessing firearms, and then ask what if those rules applied to voting.  In reality, votes affect EVERYONE and can cause more damage, pain and suffering than restricting certain people from having guns.

Long lines didn’t stop people out here from voting. We were in line for hours along with hundreds, if not a 1,000 of our neighbors. We only had one voting place for our side of town. Four voting places total for the whole town of 42,000 people.

The way I see it, if you want to vote you find a way. My wife did. Handicap and all. And she was not the only one. Absentee ballots make it very easy to vote at home. In person voting has been going on for over 200 hundred years. Everything else just begs for fraud as we saw in the last election.

But is that a good thing?  What benefit does that have for democracy?  Would you prefer they cut the hours of the polling station?  Prevent water from being given?  Other stupid shit they are trying to pass?  The way I see it, democracy flourishes when the people have the ability to vote without overt restrictions and delays.  Mail in voting is amazing.  I personally wouldn't vote any other way.

Hawaii was open to late night but exactly when the polls were supposed to close Hawaii got moved to the Biden column. Our polls were open well into the late hours. Something doesn't smell right!
