quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen So I'm asking you a simple question, why disenfranchise so many for sucha small problem when the much much larger problem of voter suppression is being ignored? Try this another way, what should the penalty be for cast 1 fraudulent vote and should the exact same penalty apply to everyone involved in voter suppression schemes? When you decide to answer these very reasonable questions, that will unfortunately destroy your position, I will happily deal with what ever questions you might have. I'll type slowly so you don't miss it this time: I D O N ' T W A N T C I T I Z E N S T O B E D E N I E D T H E V O T E B U T I A L S O D O N ' T W A N T N O N - C I T I Z E N S V O T I N G. Photo IDs are a completely reasonable way of accomplishing that goal. Be careful about shortening quotes, by the way, Ron'll say that you're violating TOS and you'll leave out important parts of my answer, again ... quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I would love to answer this question for you but, you're bringing oranges to an apple pie bake-off. It is true that I don't want to see people who are elligible to vote be denied that right and I would be just as vehement about a case of voter suppresion. But these issues are not mutually exclusive so, allow me to turn the tables on you and ask you, point-blank: What is the best way to ensure that people who arrive at the polls are legally allowed to vote ("citizens" for this discussion) while not allowing people who do not meet those requirements ("Non-citizens" for this discussion) to violate our laws and muddy our process? Photo IDs are not an unreasonable way to accomplish this and I have already stated that the IDs should be free of charge to those that really can't afford them. If they can't afford the $11.00 (What it costs in my state) to get the ID because their heroin habit takes priority for them, I feel no pity. If they're on welfare and eating dog food because they can't afford anything else, the IDs should *abso-fucking-lutely* be free of charge. ETA: Ya know what? Send the "Get-Out-The-Vote" people around with a digital camera and a portable backdrop to *make* the photo IDs right there. I'm all for it (as long as those "Get-Out-The-Vote" people swing from a tree, if they fuck with the process and commit voter fraud). Peace and comfort, Michael

And you're still evading the point. How many citizens being denied their rights is too many to stop the miniscule number of fraudulent votes being cast. 10,000 suppressed per fraudulent vate stopped? 100,000 to 1? what? And do you or do you not support equivalent punsihment for vote suppressors as casters of fraudulent votes?

And do you or do you not support equivalent punsihment for vote suppressors as casters of fraudulent votes? I answered your question. That you don't like the answer comes as no surprise to me. You are supposed to get back on topic, now and tell me what we should do about voter fraud as you promised to do. Should we ignore it? I'll bet we could find a few cases where a legitimate candidate has been denied their right to office because of it. So, tell me, as you promised you would; what do we do about voter fraud? I'm assuming you didn't like my idea about volunteers issuing the ID cards as they register people? Again, I'm shocked. Peace and comfort, Michael

Hmmm....this is a bit like that term "many" that MSNBC pundits like to use, as in "many say Obama's policies are working for the economy..." Could you be more specific as to how Al Gore hiring lawyers kept your right to vote. In other words, specifically how was your right to vote being suppressed? Thanks.

SoftBonds -> RE: "The problem doesn't exist" (4/10/2012 7:24:28 PM)
OK, how about this, I think it is a reasonable compromise: Institute the death penalty for both voter intimidation and casting a vote if you are not entitled to vote. Note, I'm not saying execute folks like Ann Coulter who voted in the wrong district, I'm talking folks casting double ballots or voting someone else's ballot, or voting if not a citizen. It is a pretty rare event, and having a really strong punishment should keep it that way. Heck, lets go one further. Anyone who can prove that another person made an illegal vote (thus effecting the capital punishment) gets $10,000 paid for by the state involved. Should pay PI's if there is any real fraud to catch every one of those folks. Then we forget all about voter suppression efforts-I mean voter ID laws-since we know that the penalty is so harsh. Heck, with the bounty, we even have a free market solution, so we won't have to make the government larger, more intrusive, and force everyone to have ID's with tracking microchips...

erieangel -> RE: "The problem doesn't exist" (4/10/2012 8:27:51 PM)
I wonder what the voter ID have to say about the problem that has been arising with the Amish and other religious communities who have a religious objection to getting their picture taken. No picture, no photo ID. Many of these people vote Republican so the party that is backing these laws are by extension decreasing their own voter turn out. Law of unintended consequences? Or is it that the Amish shouldn't have a right to vote because their religion forbids the photo ID?

Some guy named Eric Holder went to vote in a republican primary, I would say he is stupid for voting for that bunch of assclowns, but it is a free country. You don't need to educate me in anything, you haven't the capacity. Voter ID is a states rights issue, because all elections are state elections. The only federal election laws deal with the conducting of campaigns and monies. The actual elections are state. We dont care about voter verification rules, anyone who doesnt know that they have to be the same for all parties state to state, and vary state to state would be an imbecile, or at the least untutored in big people issues. Well, not sure how you are going to say the crap stops here in November when it pretty much lays on your parties shoulders.

Your claim seems to be that any number of suppresed votes is fine as long as you think the possibility of vote fraud has been eliminated. That position is so utterly ridiculous as to make it clear no thinking person could possibly hold it. So answer the questions and then we'll be done, because your answer will inevitably destroy your position.
