Every election cycle we hear about the Dems’ “formidable turnout effort”. They repeatedly call or knock on the door of every potential voter.

They are able to determine if someone isn’t registered, then get them enrolled if necessary. They help them get absentee ballots. They know if someone needs a RIDE to the polls. They know if CHILD CARE is needed...or PLOWING the driveway. They know your church, union, and probably your bowling league.

Sooooo. Mightn’t they add one teeny little question in all this outreach prior to the election:
“Do you have a valid drivers license?”.
First, it would help them identify the real extent of the problem. Either the problem doesn’t exist or they don’t really want to quantify it. Second, if they can send someone to drive you to vote, couldn’t they just as easily drive you to the DMV?

It’s obvious they don’t really want to solve the problem.

Republicans would be wise to add this question to their scripts when contacting voters. It’s probably not widely needed, but it would help underscore that the Dems want the issue, not the solution.


PS: I found this troubling:
“NEARLY all states require a photo identification when people first REGISTER to vote.”

“Nearly”?! Pray tell, where can you REGISTER to vote without a photo ID?

Upon turning 18, I registered to vote in Indiana by mail.

Wisconsin only requires a copy of a utility bill or lease. Once your friend has registered with the above, he or she can "vouch" for you to register with NO PROOF OF ANYTHING. Amazes me there isn't more fraud.
