If the South is not motivated to collect PVC like the north should they allow Southerners to vote without PVC?

If you cannot get voter ID, then get Drivers license or Passport or State ID or handgun license. It would be ridiculous to say you cannot get one of 7 options needed to vote

Benaldino, basaloco has ah explain to ah them tha ah photo ID Isa passport, driver's ah license and other ah forms of identification with ah ya photos ina it

I have to say you have a point here.
But still doesnt justify the argument against IDs.

Just for clarity any form of ID below is acceptable to vote in the state of Texas it doesnt have to be Voter ID alone

Anything will do from Drivers license, to State ID for those who dont drive, to handgun license to Intl Passport to Military passport, to Citizenship certificate showing your face

Get drivers license No I cannot
Get Passports No I cannot
Get State ID No I cannot
Get Handgun license No I cannot
Get Voter ID no I cannot
Get personal ID no I cannot

So what do you want? I just want to vote in an election coordinated by govt without any form of govt issued photo ID

The fact that one side takes it very serious and the other doesnt. Is that really a point?

Everything in life some people will take it serious more than others should we now lower the requirement for those who dont?

When you were in school some students wanted to die for exams and some just took it like play. So should we lower the standard to say get just 5% to pass so they can be carried along

Nations cup going on now, Some countries traditionally take it serious and some not as much, Should we also lower the standard just to accommodate those who don't take it serious?

If you dont care that much to wait in line to get any of the 7 ID's, then why would you wait in line to vote?

From your own link -

"Obtaining free electoral ID cards involves prospective voters having to take time off work and caring responsibilities to travel to council offices during opening hours to request them. Those that can most easily take time off from work or caring responsibilities to do this are usually the most likely to already have ID."

I say its both escapist and lazy for anyone to rely on this given that there is no urgent deadline within which this can be done. Any serious voter can find time in what is at least two whole years between elections.

It's not my link Mr Deepsight, I only pointed you to formal resource on topic of discussion. And, all you picked out the the report is escapism and laziness? I am convinced you can do better.

You are yet to show me proof of what is wrong with previous election processes as a means to justify changes.

You are 100% right and I wholly agree.
As you should see from my previous comments.

I only said he had a point referring to how true it is that conservatives are more motivated. That doesnt make their argument against IDs hold any water though, just to be clear.

It is exceedingly lazy and escapist to hold an argument against IDs based on work commitments or commitments to care. There is more than sufficient time for all - as I said - over two years between elections at the minimum - at least in the states.

Secondly the very fact that questions can be raised about mail-in voting and ballot harvesting is enough reason to raise the bar on identification. In truth, I neednt even cite these as any step to lock in the integrity of the process even further can only be welcome. No well meaning and serious citizen could quarrel with such.

Even after said leader called on you to amass and storm the Capital with promises to join you?




Buda, from all I read and heard, the implied Leader said "march on parliament", (to delay certification), not "storm the Parliament", "Invade Parliament" or "Assault the Paliament".

"March on Parliament" in my understanding of English means "mass around Paliament", the way protesters mass around Court premises during high profile, tension charged cases to pressure for desired outcomes.

Implied Leader is handicapped in speech, and skilled in delivering himself to his (political) enemies, thro inability to clarify his meanings.

BUT THE IMPLIED LEADER DID NOT ORDER A STORMING OR INVASION OF PALIAMENT AS IS PRESENTLY BEING SPINNED.

THE MAN WAS AFTER HONEST VOTE, NOT PERPETUATING HIMSELF IN POWER.

I will say you are projecting.
To do work stuff you need your work issued ID
To do school stuffs you need your school issued ID
To do govt stuffs you need a govt issued ID

It's very simple unless you have other intentions
I wonder if you at all know how it works. You are aware that one must register to vote with one's local authority, a local authority that posts a rates bill to your registered place of abode which you'd have been paying so long as you live there, and that you must register a birth or a death or a child starting school, all with posted letters from the local authority to you. Also, various utility companies would have sent you bills you would have paid, and your bank too, and work, etc.

Tell me why you can't turn up with one of those letters. Like your water bill, for instance? Wouldn't bells ring if someone else turns up and says they are you?

Voting, in America, is not "work stuff" nor "school stuff" nor "govt stuffs" raud, it is the stuff of Americans, the land of the free to bravely vote. A right. And not a thing to relinquish, even more so than the right to bear arms, and by now they should be sending you a code they scan off your phone to know it is you instead of devolving into China where you almost need id to breath air!

Zendi. His supporters who were listening to him seem to have heard "storm the Capital and hang Pence", and drumpthf not knowing his word could be so misconstrued is much more dangerous than a drumpthf who knows and intends it, which is what it more seems like unless you want to cover your eyes and ears and not see nor hear all he said and did when he lost the election.

Voting is the right of Americans and they need to verify who is standing in front of them to ensure he is who he is. He is the American with the right and not his friend or anyone

Bearing arms is a right yet you need a handgun license before you can express your constitutional right

Moving around is a fundamental right yet you need a license to drive a car or get on a flight

My water bill or light bill does not prove you are me. It only proves you had access to the mail.

I can as well pick my roommate budaatum bill and show up to vote on his name while with govt issued ID, I cannot show up with his drivers license and claim that I am budaatum since they will check the face and tie it to the name

Conservatives are politically motivated while normal people who would usually vote democrat are politically unmotivated

Not everybody is catching HBP everyday like these Trumpanzees over political issues. By when time comes to cast their vote, they vote with the most moderate and inclusive candidate. Hate motivates more than moderation, so does religious fervour. Same reason why the North PVC collection is always high compared to South

I don't need to go out my way to get voter ID here in UK. Electoral roll write to me to register. I will never go and queue for voter ID. Only sick and twisted children of hatred like Basilico and co will go and kill themselves to queue to get voter ID.

Conservatives know they lack numbers but are more motivated. Same applies the world over, and that's what they bank on.

Just go get the voter ID and get it done with!
