Missouri is the latest front in the Republican Party’s campaign to use photo ID requirements to suppress voting. T

Unfreaking real! Suppress voting? How about make sure the person is QUALIFIED to vote? The nation has gone mad I tell you!

Hello,

Bite me, NYTimes. ....

The people you are crying about manage to get ID for Social Services (ie: free money). Use it to vote. Oh, I get it, you want to vote more than once, or have dead Grandma vote (also more than once). Anger growing here, on many fronts.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

They always seem to have sufficient ID to collect welfare, medicaid, social security benefits, etc. Why is it that suddenly because they have to ID themselves at the voting booth, it becomes a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?

One very interesting thing about the Mexican Election held in Mexico a few weeks ago:

ALL MEXICAN VOTERS HAD TO HAVE A VALID GOVERNMENT APPROVED ID TO VOTE - EVEN POOR PEOPLE (and there are a lot of poor people in Mexico).

The Dems in the urban areas of MO have been committing vote fraud is such a wholesale fashion for so long, that they are terrified of being called on it. They would crumble if they were forced to give up their scams and intimidation tactics.
I know quite a few people here in StL that would vote for conservative candidates but don't bother to, unless it's a national or close statewide issue. The recent stories have been bad enough but I've heard some real horror stories from old timers here.

"but that claim falls apart on close inspection. Missouri’s new ID rules — and similar ones adopted last year in Indiana and Georgia — are intended to deter voting by blacks, poor people and other groups that are less likely to have driver’s licenses"

Tell that to Mexico.
They are much poorer, and even less educated, and yet they require strong id's before you can vote.
And the poor have had no problem voting there.

"are intended to deter voting by blacks, poor people and other groups that are less likely to have driver’s licenses"


Hey Washington Post,what do them oh so poor black folks use to collect all them government benefits then?

[YOUGOTIT]

Without a state issued ID or passport or other picture ID one cannot buy beer, whiskey, cigs, cigars, snuff, or whatever. This crap by the anti-American left about voter ID (we here in Florida must show picture ID) is trying to make sure that their voters can vote early and often as they have in most of the Democrat won elections. If you do not have an ID then you should not be allowed to vote period.

[spinestein]

[Missourians who have driver’s licenses will have little trouble voting, but many who do not will have to go to considerable trouble to get special ID’s.]



BULL!

These laws requiring government issued photo ID's to vote all contain provisions for making it ridiculously easy for any eligible voter to obtain one. The government will even pay for it and deliver it to people on demand. If you're too f****** lazy to pry their butt off the sofa long enough to get an ID card to prove you're an eligible voter, then America is better off with you NOT voting.

And claiming that the people who are trying to stop election fraud are just a bunch of racists by making sure that every voter is an eligible voter is abominable.

[Just mythoughts]

When I voted on this past Tuesday I went in with only my registration card and my DL. I handed both to the woman to look me up in her book. She handed me back my DL and said we don't need this today but will in November.

I thanked her and said I came prepared.

Now how anyone can do anything in this state without some kind of photo ID is living in a world I would not know how to find.

[JimRed]

They'd whine about the purple inked fingers to limit votes to one to a customer, too!

[Past Your Eyes]

What a bunch of bullship. How can anyone not despise the Slimes when that is the crud they put out?
:(

[rwilson99]

No ID -

Can't cash a check
Can't buy smokes
Can't buy a drink
Can't get on a plane

Hello. How is there a rational argument that these ID requirements regarding racial inequality.

[PGalt]

Voter eligibility in Missouri bump! Great news!

[TexanToTheCore]

More than a century of Demo fraud in St. Louis is about to come to an end. A new era.

Bill Clay....check up on your retirement account.

[longtermmemmory]

IS THE NYT ON CRACK?!!

Why do they constantly ignore the states that have had photo ID requirements FOR DECADES?!!!


Look at Hanging Chad FLORIDA where NOBODY complained about the photo ID requirement.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A MAP WHICH SHOWS A STATE BY STATE BREAKDOWN?

[stands2reason]

I would allow a liberal hardship exemption for picture ID's, that way there will be no excuse for it.

It's worth the cost.

[Kenny500c]

The poor in the inner cities have a high motivation to vote, thus getting a free state ID card is not a significant impediment to casting a vote.

Maybe voter turnout will decrease from 110% to 105?

[no dems]

If one wants to vote badly enough; go to the proper agency and get a driver license or a State picture I.D.

DUH!!!
