“Fewer minorities and people on the political left turn out to vote.”

Probably because fewer CRIMINALS who are ILLEGAL and ineligible to vote know they’ll be busted, so they won’t “turn out”.

DEMS want chaos and lawlessness. That’s why they hate voter ID laws.

Right. The ID laws shut down the fraud coming from illegitimate voting.

If you cannot prove your identity, I do not care if you are a Mennonite albino. I do not want you voting. The solution? Get proper ID. Is that so freaking hard to understand?

Just had first primary election in WI with photo ID required. One problem reported, A nut who tried to vote with a VA card, that was it, no elderly or minorities turned away.

The BEST ANSWER to that is to note that doctors/hospitals, etc. will NO LONGER TALK TO YOU, unless you have official ID.

The days when a “Medicare Card” without a photo, was enough to get you treatment are LONG GONE with Obamacare.

Now, if you don’t have ID, YOU BETTER NOT GET SICK, or no one (worth anything) will get near you.

So, if you guys run into people that ‘claim’ to be put out by requiring ID, you might want to let them know that they SURE AS HELL better have some solid ID (like a passport or driver license) if they want to get treated.

In fact, ANYONE who ‘claims’ to have a grandmother (or parent) without a valid ID, NEEDS TO BE JAILED...since that person is using an elder person to make a political point and it may well cost that elder his life.

I’d be willing to assess fraud, FIRST HAND.

Is that because its harder to vote multiple times?

That is the way I read it. View that 9% as the over-vote percentage AVERAGE.

It is certainly higher in critical swing states.

From the article: “Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have created a new statistical model”

So, is that like a climate prediction model? Those are sooooooo accurate, you know...

I ‘like’ the idea of the digit in ink.

ALSO, I conjure up images of roving gangs with a bottle of ink grabbing ‘innocents’ and dipping their finger.
You could call that ‘reverse voter fraud’, making it seem like you voted when in actuality you hadn’t.....

Add to need ID for...

If one of the elite write (ghost write) a book and there is a book signing, try and get within 2 blocks of the location.

If the pResident shows up at YOUR local diner, best have some picture ID etc etc etc etc

People in support of voter ID laws want to protect the ballot box from people who are not honest about who they are. Those against it say that it's rare that people lie about who they are. The laws only hurt minorities and Democrats...so that means that minorities and Democrats lie more about who they are I guess - now if you can show that minorities and Democrats are prevented from getting the necessary ID documentation that allows them to turn out and vote more than others are, you might get my concern....

We in Wisconsin voted in a primary February 16, 2016 using voter ID for the first time. No problems getting and using ID were reported. Turnout for this primary was about 20-30% higher than past February primaries, so ID must not have been a problem.

We passed voter ID a couple of years ago, but court cases delayed starting it.

Someone who has difficulty voting probably has no business doing so.

“There are very few cases of people trying to vote when
they aren’t qualified to vote,”

To quote an old FR standby - “BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”

The nature of vote fraud is that patronage who depend on a candidate or program for their employment take the identities of other people without their knowledge. They often register those people without their knowledge. It is not the person named in the voter roll who commits the fraud. It is some navigator who needs to keep his job or keep his money coming in.

Well, duh. If Donkey's can't do vote fraud, they tend to lose elections. That is all voter ID does — cut down or eliminate vote fraud.

Photo ID laws sure don’t slow them down when they buy liquor, cigarettes and in California pot.
