Supreme Court upholds voter suppression.

I guess you forgot the time you needed an ID to apply for welfare

 

Sometimes the most basic privileges in life cost a little bit of money.

As a bouncer, I've seen plenty of non-driver ID cards from people who never drive, or got their driving privileges suspended. Anyone with citizenship can acquire one. It's not impossible.

If low-income, ethnic minorities, the elderly, people with disabilities, and anyone else you name aren't voting. It's not because they're being suppressed, it's likely because they don't wanna vote for your shitty candidates.

 

I don't believe Russia had anything to do with WassermanShultz stealing the election from Sanders.

That's their intention. To try and get non-citizens to vote (illegal aliens in particular)

One needs an ID because they need to know who you are before voting, right? And make sure you're a registered voter and a citizen of the country, city, county, state, etc.

Where I'm from, we don't have that problem so much because all the ballots are mailed to everyone who is a registered voter. If you've voted in the past, shouldn't your name be on the voter registry database? Couldn't they look at your ID, and then find your info by looking it up on their computers? Perhaps an ID is a good way to prove that you're a registered voter from that district.

I've been to a few communes and native american reservations, and they all had mailing addresses for the community. And I don't understand how anyone can get by this day in age without receiving mail of any kind.

One time at my bouncing job, I had a kid try to get in the club with a collegiate student photo ID that did not have his date of birth. He said that the red bar on the top of the card meant that he was a senior. I laughed and told him to take a hike.

 

Voting is a right. We did away with the poll tax concept decades ago. And voting should be encouraged in a democracy, not obstructed by barriers that disproportionately fall on the poor, the elderly and minorities. Your rationalizations for voter suppression are lame.

 

No evidence. You're just spouting propaganda again.

Did you visit the reservations in North Dakota--the ones that are affected by that law? Do mailing addresses "for the community"(i.e., the whole reservation) count as street addresses? I don't think so. They don't have individual street addresses. Those folks do receive mail, delivered to their postal boxes, which don't count under the voter suppression law.

Bearing arms is a right too. Should guns be free?

Why should we need IDs to buy guns?

 

Ask the next of kin of the eight people who were killed today in Pittsburgh. It's not ID that's the issue. It's the kind of ID that's required: e.g., a street address for reservation residents. If you could make out a case for rampant voter fraud comparable to the case for the body count from gun violence, your analogy might have a leg to stand on.

 

The Supreme Court just ruled that Federal Age Discrimination Law applies to all governments, state and local, even to the smallest fire department. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg delivered the majority opinion. I live in Indiana where Mike Pence and his Republican buddies removed all anti age discrimination laws from the state books. Republicans hate everyone, even the old ones who live in poverty.
