What kind of fraud does voter ID stop? What is the typical situation?
I think the reason why Dems hate it is that voter ID laws require that voters have to do something, or pay something (ID fee) to vote.
That is contradictory to Dems getting them to the polls by promising them more and more free stuff, maybe even giving them free rides to polls. Maybe they pay no Federal taxes too.
You have to me motivated to go through some trouble to vote.
Nelson Mandela agrees
The number one instance in my view is a person walking in a voter precinct and giving them the name of a dead person still registered and voting, there’s been videos showing how it’s done.
Take away from that....Never accept a libs premise when you enter any discussion. It is ALWAYS a lie or faulty.
The Dems simply refuse to explain their logic or show proof that what they say is true. They choose to just scream louder and obfuscate.
Untrue. A simply photo ID is available at most RMVs free of charge.
Research from University of Massachusetts at Boston sociologist Keith Bentele and political scientist Erin OBrien shows a correlation between restrictive new voting laws and states where Republicans control the legislature or governors office.
Um, that would be because in those states voter fraud
is held to a minimum...
All it takes is ONE illegal vote and MY vote is suppressed.
“South Africa, under a constitution SIGNED BY MANDELA in 1996, instituted a rigorous election integrity system. Voters are now required to have valid government-issued IDs to register to vote and then cast a ballot.”

Mandela,,,one of the lefts greatest heros.
OK how about this one?
Libs claim that white Republicans already have IDs as drivers licenses because they live outside cities.
But minority Dems tend to depend on public transportation so they have no IDs(esp if they are illegal).
So more Dems must do extra work than whites must to vote.
That's racism.
You disagree?
Of course. The argument is ridiculous. It's not racism. It's plain old lazy on the part of the people who use public transportation.
Would they take a bus to get to the polls? Or the library?
Then they can catch a bus to the RMV. The real reason the Libs use classic projection techniques is because they KNOW that illegals will never go into an RMV and have their picture taken. It is anathema to them. They live in the shadows, so to speak. They eschew signing up for anything that would help the Gubmint track them down.
So it must be the fault of those white racists!
Dont the lib get out the vote groups get paid our tax $$$ to drive them to the vote?
Voter ID laws depress illegal voter turnout. Period.
Yes, it suppresses illegal votes, of course — that’s exactly the intent. Thanks jazusamo.
I'm in favor of the bill, but I'm not happy, since I see one of two outcomes.....
1) Things stay 50-50. This means that the Dems have made enormous inroads into a formerly deep red state.
2) Things go back to around 55-45. This means that my vote has been wasted for at least the past two major elections.
As a side note, one of the the real hotbuttons here is that the new bill eliminates "Pre-registration" for teenagers as young as 16 (!!!). Sez me, if the voting age is 18, why do they need to register at 16? :-)
I hear you, that Pre-registration at 16 should have never been on the books in the first place. Not only that, if an 18 year-old wants to vote they are quite capable of going to their nearest place of registration to do it, no one needs to hold their hand.
The purpose of voter ID is to suppress votes - from felons who are not legally permitted to vote, from illegal aliens who are not legally permitted to vote, and from dead/fictional voters who are not legally permitted to vote. That’s why we need voter ID, to prevent election fraud. The goals is to eliminate fraud with as little inconvenience to lawful voters as possible.
The Democrats can basically commit voter fraud and get away with it without the RNC ever stepping in to do anything about it.
Why the GOP wont challenge vote fraud.

When there’s nothing left here but a police state I wonder if they’ll be capable of doing some navel gazing and realize the destruction people like them have caused.
