ORIGINAL: thishereboi The claim was that requiring id was a move to stop democrats from voting. If that is true then that means less democrats have id's than republicans. If you are going to make a claim, you need to back it up with some kind of proof. Now you say that the elderly have more problems but they are not all democrats so that doesn't prove anything. The poor have to have id to collect medicaid so that's not it. College students may lean left but not enough to make a difference and the republican ones would have the same problems so that's bullshit too. Now one poster did admit a while back that she was all for voter id requirements until she found out the right thought it was a good idea. It's probably the closest to the truth that I am going to get. The rest just keep singing "but it's to block democrats" because that is what there were taught to sing. Republicans would not push for something unless they stood to gain from it politically (i.e. get more Republicans into office). Same as Democrats, right? However, Democrats are not the ones pushing for more strict requirements with voting. Since the amount of voter fraud is so tiny as to be rendered irrelevant to state and federal elections. The idea of Voter ID hinges on the false belief that voter fraud is rampant and destroying the nation. After all, some black guy got elected to the White House! And then got re-elected! That must mean (according to conservative/libertarian dogma) that there is something wrong with the voting process. Republican/Tea Party are not looking for more people to vote, but less. The less that vote, the more wingnuts and lame-ass idiots get into office. So making it harder for people to vote, would be to their advantage. I pointed out the primary hurdles to the three largest groups that would be effected by this legal concept. You can deny it all you want, but it doesn't make it any less true. Finally... ...Voter ID violates my 4th amendment rights!
