Cool story bro...

We're trying to have a discussion and you want to back out?

In MO, if you claim any state welfare benefit, you must provide some sort of ID. (they can be driver's license, state school IDs, whatever the state deemed acceptable).

How can it be a "burden" if you have to prove your residency (US citizen) in order to vote, when you have to use the same sort of IDs to claim benefits?

To me, bringing up "socio-economic inequalities" is a cop-out, because where you are in these social groups should have no bearing.

Go back to where he claimed not everyone gets those benefits. I've got to imagine that the number of people who are so poor that they can't afford to spend $5 on state I.D. card, and not claim welfare benefits are so small that the argument is facecious at best.

Illegal immigration is bad (Because it's illegal, you see), we share a border with Mexico, a nation that just happens to be full of latino people. Most of the illegal immigrants are Latino (Because of you border with Mexico, you see), and by trying to prevent illegal immigrants from voting we are by extension just being racist towards Latinos?

This reminds me of a Lewis Black bit on Cheney and Iraq.

Here are some statistics on people who do not have ID. If you look at the demographics, it's pretty clear why these laws are being championed pretty exclusively by Republicans, it's apparent to anyone willing to think critically this is a totally overt attempt to disenfranchise young and minority voters who are inclined to vote democrat (such as when some state allowed CCW as ID, but not photo college ID), and so on.

Let the goalpost moving, biased-source calling, and poll-tax-justifying begin, as it inevitably will.

Yes yes yes... they don't have them now, that's never been the argument. The question is, if they were made easily obtainable (as South Carolina tried to do), then where does the argument lead. The argument made is that it's to hard for people to get them if they want to vote.

I know...

This isn't hard.

gak, if you're male and 18 years of age, BLAMO! You must register for Selective Service. You kinda have to prove who you are when you do this.

This. Is. Not. Hard.

Again, the debate should be how to implement and be implemented that's fair / equiable.

Ok, so following that link in 2006 (which takes a sample of 987 and attempts to extrapolate it to 30 million);
- 7% do not have "ready access" to the documents. Good thing that notice of elections are given in advance, that they are held regularly and that there is plenty of media coverage of up coming elections (especially the serious ones) so they have plenty of time to request the documents and get their ID.
- 12% of those earning under $25K pa do not have a US passport, naturalisation document, or birth certificate. But no mention as to the % without a driver's license or other proof of ID
- The point about women changing their last names is horrendously overstated. If they want to get an ID in their own name they go to the SS Office with their birth certificate and marriage license (which they can get a copy of if they don't have) and get their name changed, then get an ID with the correct last name. The same goes for their point about incorrect information.

If it was mandatory that voting required an ID, that was provided free, and that there was education about then the overwhelming majority of what that study complained about would be countered. Especially when it came to an ID requirement affecting minorities and the elderly.

In at least one of two scenarios:

and/or

(2) where incidents of voter fraud of that type which voter ID laws address demonstrably undermine free elections.

Since neither of those scenarios accurately represents reality, voter ID requirement laws are not necessary. Since reality is the reverse of both of those scenarios, voter ID requirement laws are not only unnecessary but also harmful.


Define immigration status is meaningfully normalized? How about if we put 750mm mines on the border. Would that normalize it?

How did you come to this conclusion?

Here are some facts where one organization discover frauds.

The point being, you simply need IDs in all walks of life... unless you want to go totally off-grid, having IDs is simply a necessity.

Why is it such a bad thing to require proof of residency to vote?


Whats interesting is that, if the pols are in government buildings, it would be fine to ask for ID to get in, but you can't ask for ID to actually vote.

Basically, Scalia did some tap dancing and said that AZ could not override the Federal law that says you can prove your citizenship to vote in an election by swearing that you are a citizen.

And again, if everyone gets a free ID then we're cool right? If the argument is that old people are too old then:
1) everyone gets a free biometric ID, when they turn 18.
2) because of past discrimination making record difficult, ID is not required for those born before 1970.
3) wiener dogs can now vote, but have to show ID.

everyone's happy. Problem?

Yes yes yes... they don't have them now, that's never been the argument.


Pennsylvania's gak in chief, Gov Corbett, tried to get the law passed now though, in fact last year, to squeeze it in before the election and deny the votes from Pittsburgh and Philly, without ensuring citizens had paperwork, when those pushing hardest are republicans and those least likely to own the relevant paperwork are likely democrat voters, it's easy to concur there is an attempt to prevent American citizens from voting taking place.

It was a partisan move, it is, as has been established by federal law, illegal.

Yes, that was a gakky, transparently partisan move.

Like I said, it should be done in a common sense way and implemented in a fair manner, such as, giving the voters a year's notice before mandating it.

That sort of stunt should not be pulled before an election. You should give citizens a reasonable time to get their documents in order, and for the relevant body to issue the IDs

The SCOTUS saw "law" not reason. Primacy was the issue they based their decision on, not voter rights. The decision also suggested that Arizona could make a challenge to the existing Federal law if they requested the Fed to update the voter registration card to include proof of citizenship (for AZ only) and are denied. It would seem that other states can do this as well.

Yeah, I know that... just supplementing Alf's statement.

I guess I don't know the fuss about the IDs... I've had friends in High School who were very poor (I went to school in St. Louis city) and getting IDs was never a problem for them.

Hey don't blame us because Oklahoma is flat.

Again, if you're against it, how about this? Please cite better conditions than this that would be required.

What a strange thing to hear so many claimed libertarians in this thread now calling for the government to compile more records on people and insinuate it's self into people's lives yet further.
