if showing your id to vote is cumbersome,
then buying alcohol at the grocery store is cumbersome,
buying cigarettes is cumbersome,
renting a car is cumbersome,
booking a motel/hotel room is cuumbersome,
driving is cumbersome,
opening a bank account or using a check cashing business is cumbersome,
getting utilities for your home or apartment is cumbersome,
geting into most federal buildings is cumbersome,
getting govt benefits is cumbersome.
travelling on a plane or boat is cumbersome.
why has the media not harped on all the other daily things people need a photo id for, and discussed how hard just regular life is for people without id? how unfair it is they have to have photo id to buy alcohol, smokes, financial services, driving? how unfair life is because they can’t do all this without id? why is it only that voting is cumbersome, yet they ignore all these other areas?
we know why. the argument is bogus. there is no cumbersome burden to show id.
I was an observer at a polling place next to a university. 99% of the voters that came in were students.
Early voting in NC is limited to libraries mainly and some other central locations so they can condense multiple polling places into one location. The funny part is that on actual election day, these former early vote locations are now converted to specific polling places so you can’t just show up and vote there just because you voted at the library in the spring. You have to check your registration card and vote at YOUR SPECIFIED POLLING PLACE! DUH! Saw many students turned away and told to go to the correct place. This is the new law, you must vote in your correct location. If you are too fricking dumb or lazy to check where you have to vote, then you should not vote.
Its funny to see that early voting actually bit the dems in the ass!
