Thoughts on Voter ID laws /pol/?
>>69081039
Very good for the right wing. Keeps lowlifes from voting.
>>69081039
poo in loos can do it, why can't we?
>>69081039
I can't understand why anyone would be against them.
It's pretty fascist to not let people vote just because they aren't legally allowed to
>>69081039
If you're too lazy or stupid to get an ID, I'm glad you can't vote.
even Indians can do it
pretty much every other country in the world does it, I'm from Canada btw
>>69081039
Fine with me, as long as it's the government's job to make sure everyone has an ID, instead of their own job.
If the government wants to impose strict verification laws, then it is their job to obtain the verification. They don't get to deny people the right to vote because the people didn't jump through the hoops.
>>69081039
>Can you identify yourself?
>Okay, you may vote
What is so hard about this.
If a valid ID is free to get I don't see the big deal.
Pretty nearly every other nation in the world, including the socialist European countries that liberals love to idolize, require ID to vote. This isn't some unreasonable requirement.
>>69081202
Because they want the democrats to win.
>having to have a valid photo ID to the voting booth is the equivalent of having to run through a giant maze
wooooooooow what a fascist making it so illegal mexicans can't go vote and stuff the ballot box with Democrat straight-party tickets and come out to get his $5 and gibsmedat care package

"You don't have any security at your bank?"
"We've never had a problem with robbers."
"But anyone could walk in here."
"Yes, but you're not listening. We've never had a problem."
>>69081254
Dude, in Mex you need your vote ID not just for voting but for many other things. I don't understand why you guys don't have that basic stuff.
>>69081410
>straight-party tickets
The ultimate statement in blind loyalty.
>>69081254
Came here to post this.
>>69081476
>I don't understand why you guys don't have that basic stuff.
Because it's racist to expect minorities to be able to afford a Voter ID.
No really, that's the position the Democrats take on it.
>>69081252
Valid ID shouldn't be hard. And to avoid a "poll tax" you provide free photo ID. Why wouldn't you want to take a measure against voter fraud?
What is it trying to accomplish? making it harder for people to vote?
>>69081039
The law is: do you have one or not. I don't see how it's complicated.
>>69081039
We have it in Australia, it's simple and it works, I dunno what that cartoonist is on but it's really not that difficult
>>69081039
US Public Library's enforce a strict policy of presenting both a photo ID and proof of address in order to acquire a library card.
... why should requirements for voting be any less?
>>69081361
Alabama famously instituted voter ID, then promptly closed 90% of their DMV offices, specifically ones in or close to democrat-voting districts.
I'm fine with the concept of IDs, but the government should be the one registering you and making sure you get your ID, not the other way around.
>>69081039
If you can't get off your ass and get ID you don't deserve to vote.
>>69081601
Making it so only legal people can vote.
>>69081601
Making it harder for people who aren't allowed to vote to vote.
Because i know you all love this guy:

I hope people don't watch this just because "it's a different opinion", if anything it should be the opposite
>>69081703
It's more inefficient that way. There's a reason the government doesn't handle a lot of your forms like that. Your example is disagreeable though. The government needs to be neutral and not use crafty tricks like that.
>>69081546
>to be able to afford a Voter ID
If you can't afford free then you have more pressing issues.
They should just make it so you need ID to collect welfare. That way no one can call needing ID to vote voter suppression.
b-but I have to actually give a shit and put in 10 minutes of work to decide the fate of my nation, it's razis
>>69081851
Imagine if you didn't get a social security number, nor any of the money you are owed, unless you went and waited in line for 2 hours at the DMV every 3 years. But you still had to pay taxes.

They make it hard. And there is no voter fraud.
Pathetic, really, that the right-wing can't win elections on the strength of their ideas, and instead rely on gerrymandering and voter suppression.
>>69081601
Exactly.
>>69081039
Register online and bring your state id or drivers license
That's all you need to do. People who complain about difficulties voting are generally the lower 70% in intelligence
>>69081703
And I agree that's bullshit, should add an asterisk to my previous post, *free and as easy as possible (assuming you have the proper credentials to prove citizenship of course). Although I don't know if government collecting all the paperwork would be feasible/practical
>>69081546
>>69081476
13$ per ID at the highest.
Keep in mind poor black people buy 200$ shoes.
Poor Mexicans buy 1000$ stereos for their loud ass parties.
Poor Asians buy high tech computers to do Asian things on.
Most if not all of these poor minorities have Iphones.
Yet somehow none of them can afford a 13$ card?
>>69081039
We need a more organized voting system. If the government issued them for free then no one would complain.
>>69081039
why even have elections?
Why not let Africa vote in US election?
Absolutely necessary. And in no way discriminatory. You need an ID to do anything in this country(unless you are illegal)
>>69082222
quads of truth
>>69082046
>Pathetic, really, that the right-wing can't win elections on the strength of their ideas
The left wing owns basically all media, all of hollywood and all of education. The fact the right wing can even sometimes win is either a miracle or proof the left wing is really fucking retarded.
>>69082204
But if someone already has credentials to prove citizenship
And they need those credentials to register to vote in the first place
Why do they need the ID? You're just adding a step.
Even in the few states that don't require you bring credentials, what's wrong with them bringing the credentials they would use to get the ID with? Why add the step?
>>69082046

u dont know shit
Literally every civilized nation has them, i don't know why people on both sides of the aisle are so opposed to it. If you're so poor you don't have ID your life is so fucked i'm sure Voting is the last of your concerns. And voting isn't going to usher in some fucking mark of the beast nonsense.
Also, how in christs name do you guys not have some form of basic federal identification? This isn't the fucking 1800s dude.
>>69081039

>>69081438
i dunno if you're making the point that there isn't any fraud, and thus no reason to take care of it.
it'd be insanely irresponsible to not have security at a bank with more than a few members
In america you need an ID to buy liquor, gamble, and tobacco.
All things even the poorest of poor does so it means they have an ID.
voter ID laws only hurt dems trying to get illegals to vote.
>>69082423
Also, whenever i see democucks saying "VOTER FRAUD IS ONLY 0.07% HURR" it makes me wonder, how can you possibly measure something like that? That 0.07% are the percentage that are found, there could be fucking hundreds of people who do it and get away with it and they would never appear on statistics.
How the fuck can you actually uncover voter fraud other than sheer dumb luck.

You still file your tax returns though, and you have to let the government know about your child's birth to get a birth certificate and your social security number.

>>69082724
i'm somewhat agreed but i think it's backwards to have voter ID laws, in Washington state you register to vote when you get your ID and they send the ballots in the mail.
not only does it seem to me this would eliminate much of the fraud
(i mean people can steal them, and it happened once and someone was busted, because the logistics of making a substantial impact outside small counties in swing states would make it really hard)
but it just makes the whole thing pretty easy, primaries would be a bitch, but they kind of are anyway.

>>69081039
They make sense, but getting a voter ID should be relatively easy for legal citizens.
Which is why state-issued photo ID is also a pretty good standard.
There honestly is a problem with certain states making it exceedingly difficult for people to obtain the proper forms of voter ID. If we want that kind of identification to be the standard everywhere, then we have to correct this.
>>69082947
>And then we wait for the old people to die.
You mean wait until Whites are no longer a majority and the ethnic voting blocs take over
>>69081039

M8, the left runs most schools and most of the media. What's shocking is that you fuckers lose any election with all the advantages you have.
Republicans make it harder for minorities to vote because they would lose all elections otherwise
>>69083239
The white racists are mostly old men, you young guys here are an exception and a tiny minority. Most people in the US aren't racist and never will be.
So, die without winning elections. At least the old racists haven't got long to live, but you young racists can look forward to decades of political losses.

>Oh no worries, we have early voting locations all over that you can go to five days a week, most of the time for up to a month before the election. And if you can't do that, we'd be happy to send you an absentee ballot in the mail that you can fill out and send back at your leisure!

Of course every voter has a voter ID, they need one to become a voter. What matters is what percentage of the population actually votes before and after they implemented voter ID.
>>69082416
I come from that economic environment. That is 100% true.
I've lived in an area with lower middle class minorities, and the three biggest topics are sports teams (basket ball and football only) who has the freshest J's, or how poor they are and can't afford to pay the bills.
>>69083463
You mean republicans wanting to subvert the dems trying to let people who shouldn't be voting, vote
>>69081039
They should be passed everywhere, along with free state ID's if the income thing is really a big deal (which I don't think it is) but I feel it's a valid use of resources to eliminate fraud in the system.

There's definitely a problem with the state, the fact that they don't ask the person to do the extremely rudimentary task of providing a photo ID to prove they are who they say they are
I don't get the hullabaloo about the voter ID laws. 18, first time voter. Super excited to vote for months, went to go register all the way back in January. Got my voter ID in the mail the next week, only cost $8.
Honestly, it's more of a hassle than anything.

>>69084564

If I can fucking do it, dumb niggers and illegal spics can prove that they are an actual legal voter who votes on who will lead this country. We are the only country not to verify who is voting for our leaders, which can be seen as treason.
To address the cartoon: it takes an afternoon at the DMV. If you can't fucking do that, then you can't fucking vote on the leaders of our fucking country.

>>69084969
>Exactly how can the state be expected to combat voter fraud without making any changes in how people verify themselves?
In your own example? By keeping better track of who is alive and dead would be one way. The state is alerted to a death by a hospital, during probate of a will or intestacy, by police reports, etc.
>>69084730
It's not more difficult. That's a fucking lie perpetrated by leftists who want to let criminals and non-residents vote. There's nothing difficult about getting a driver's license or state ID.
>>69081202
because illegals can't vote that way
>>69084353
If the voters had the identification to register to vote what exactly is the problem with asking them for the same identification they presented to register to vote?
>they registered using their birth certificate or some other inconvenient form of identification which it doesn't make sense to take to the polling place!
Ok so why not just issue people their voter id's at the same time they register to vote in the first place?
>>69084728
Never been on reddit, sorry.
The marketplace is much bigger than this obscure website.
>>69081039
All this shit about laws making voting hard are left wing conspiracies. Voting is easy as hell and if you can't figure out how to do it you probably shouldn't be voting in the first place. I'd bet money the person who drew that cartoon was probably paid by some special interest group. Our society is fucked.
>>69085109
>It's not more difficult.
Bullshit. When you could be identified by a non-photo ID voter card or by stating personal information it becomes more difficult when stricter forms of identification are required.
>>69085137
>If the voters had the identification to register to vote what exactly is the problem with asking them for the same identification they presented to register to vote?
Depends on the circumstances but let's say my wallet got stolen the day before the election. Or perhaps I registered ten years ago but I've let my DL lapse since I switched to cycle-commuting or had to give up driving due to too many DUIs.
>Ok so why not just issue people their voter id's at the same time they register to vote in the first place?
Most states do but they are not photo ID. Most states are also unwilling to pay for issuing photo IDs and require the voter to produce it (passing the costs to the voters).
Personally, I'd like to see polls with tablets and thumbscanners or something that makes identification of the voter the state's responsibility not the voter's.

>>69085392
That map does not show what you think it does. About have of the predominantly black counties are closed, about half of the predominately white counties are closed. But more importantly, that map aligns very well with a population density map. I don't know over what period this map was made, but clearly the actual cause is that a lower demand in more rural DMV offices results in less time open.
>>69085664
I don't either, that's why I didn't mention it

and you never felt the need to vote in that decade long period but now you do? Here's a simple solution; issue voter id cards that don't expire, or accept expired driver's licenses as identification.
>Most states do but they are not photo ID. Most states are also unwilling to pay for issuing photo IDs and require the voter to produce it (passing the costs to the voters).
If they're motivated enough to gather the documentation required to register to vote they're motivated enough to save up fifteen dollars for an identification card.
>Personally, I'd like to see polls with tablets and thumbscanners or something that makes identification of the voter the state's responsibility not the voter's.
I have no problem with that but the costs for such devices will get passed to the voters regardless, in the form of higher taxes.
>>69085468
The only valid example is losing your wallet, because losing your driver's license form DUIs would make you unable to vote in the first place.
And as far as that goes well, too fucking bad, I guess? You can't buy liquor without your DL, I don't see why you should expect to be able to vote.
>>69085762

In my state only those over 60 can waive the $15 fee to get a state photo ID.

You need some form of ID to do all sorts of things in the US as well. We understand this basic stuff perfectly. Democrats understand it as well and they understand it would prevent illegal aliens from voting for them.

It's not, because such a person cannot legally vote. Felons cannot vote. Which is one of the reasons dems want to keep voter identification loose.

I'm asking you why you're so concerned with the few imbeciles who can't be bothered to get their shit together. Are they an indispensable aspect of our democracy?

How can a group of 60 dead people from one apartment be expected to vote for the Democrats if you have to show ID?!

>>69086167
DUI sentencing will vary based on the number of previous offenses and whether anyone or anything was hurt because of your actions. But at the point at which you actually lose your license for good, you're well past the felony line
I know in texas, a third charge is a felony, and even then your DL is only suspended for 6 months, not terminated.
>mail out notice of the next election along with a slip of paper you show at your local polling station
>show it, get your name ticked off, vote
Wow so hard
>>69086388
>Why do I care about the main contention
Your attempt to pigeon-hole my argument as not part of the main contention is pathetic. You are free to address what I posted but I will not participate in a discussion about my character. Especially to someone who made an accusation about my reading comprehension and tried to revise his posting conduct after getting called on the fact.
>>69086397
Every state with people who aren't retards will make photo ID freely available when passing voter ID laws.
All the left can do is bitch about how hard it is to pay for ID. These niggers can manage to track down affordable smartphones but they can't get an ID.

This is clearly about the argument. Since you have the emotional state of mind of a somewhat sclerotic fat woman, I'll rephrase.
Do you really believe vote id laws impede the democratic process?
>>69086435
>whether anyone or anything was hurt because of your actions
That situation is outside a DUI conviction. It typically falls under criminal negiligence, vehicular assault or when death occurs manslaughter convictions.
>a third charge is a felony
Under the typical "three strike" legislation? Check me on this but I think that also takes it outside of the DUI conviction.
>>69086513
>Every state with people who aren't retards will make photo ID freely available when passing voter ID laws.
Repeating the same assertion is not a valid argument after its reliability has been questioned.

You have convinced me that you do not care to discuss the issue as you attack the character of people who do not agree with you. You are, at best, merely seeking self-validation but more likely trolling because you cannot handle disagreement in a mature manner.
>>69086647
>Repeating the same assertion is not a valid argument after its reliability has been questioned.
Well you're not going to get anywhere constantly begging people to prove your unique contrary situation isn't occurring.
It's basically a necessity for ID to be freely available to have ID be required at voting.
>>69086597
>That situation is outside a DUI conviction.
It's taken into account as far as classifying the DUI offense itself as well. Some states even have special classifications like "intoxication manslaughter"
>Under the typical "three strike" legislation?
No, under texas DUI law. Three strikes refers to increasing penalties for concurrent felonies, this is making the first three DUIs a class B misdemeanor, class A, and then a felony.

You do realize that questioning an assertion does not mean I assume the directly opposite position?
>>69086803
Prevents an instant legal challenge.
Holder's DOJ still tried to find a reason to attack voter id laws, but ultimately failed to find a valid legal path to attack them.
Even with free voter ID's they still tried to claim it was Jim Crow (a Democrat policy) because blacks would be unfairly targeted by the need to go and get an ID.
Liberals just want their pet niggers and spics to be able to vote for each other since they know the bulk of them are too stupid and lazy to get out on election day
The real issue isn't voting for the dead and what not, it's voting for people who aren't going to do so themselves and will not dispute the fraud
Forcing people to have a photo ID is a good thing. The only problem is, not everyone has a photo ID in the united states. the reason why this works in canada is because everyone has at least one photo ID. Everyone who is eligible to vote is also eligible to use the national health insurance. And to use the national health insurance, you have to own your health insurance card, which has a photo and is an official government photo ID. The united states on the other hand doesn't have such a thing. Not everyone holds a driver's licenses, which is why this law is unfair as it is. If they were to issue a photo ID to anyone who turns 18 by mail or something, then there would be no problem, unfortunately they don't do this, which means some people won't be able to vote because of this law. That is the only issue I'm having.
>>69086788
>t's taken into account as far as classifying the DUI offense itself as well.
I think you are putting the cart before the horse. You get charged with other crimes along with the DUI not as a part of the DUI.
>No, under texas DUI law.
Got a citation for that? I thought it was similar to California law but it wouldn't be surprising if Cali went on a different legislative path yet again.
>>69086996
How about you fucking google it, I already closed the tab.
Anyway I gotta get to sleep.

Ya know how I know you're from reddit?
>>69087058
Oh, and I should note I was curious enough to look up "intoxication manslaughter" but it seems Texas is the only state that uses it.
Oh no i need an id to vote... sounds like a third world problem to me...
voting without id.. wtf.. is this even possible? how would this work??
>>69081039
How fucking complicated is it to get a driver's license or some other form of photo ID? Only a stupid degenerate or an illegal wouldn't have something like that in their pocket at all times.
Shit, when I went to donate blood, they asked for my ID and asked me to confirm my name like four times so they didn't get me mixed up with someone else; why is it so fucking wrong to apply that to voting all of a sudden?
>>69081039
If getting a free state ID from your DMV or a drivers license is a maze for you, you arent fit to vote.
>>69081254
Sweden had 7330432 eligible voters in the last election, and 6290016 votes were cast, of which 6231573 were valid.
150ish people voted for Donal Duck, 9 for Santa Claus and 2 for Adolf Hitler, the election law is pretty picky about spelling.
>>69086906
I realize you're deliberately trying to be difficult to put yourself on an intellectual pedestal.
Are you telling me you are currently not required an ID to vote? Literally what is preventing you from multiple voting?
How hard is it to provide ID? There should be no issue with their being a law. Just show your ID and you can vote
>>69083045
but don't liberals constantly push the narrative that the only people who vote republican/conservative are stupid and uneducated?
>>69087392
>I realize you're deliberately trying to be difficult to put yourself on an intellectual pedestal.
Oh joy. Another person who thinks attacking a poster's character rather than addressing the post means anything.
>>69081039
Great for the republicans since the democrats will win nationally every single time unless there is cheating on some sort of level. Keep up the great work.
>>69087448
Just listen to yourself.
Wait, hold on. You're not required to identify yourself when you vote? How does that work?
>>69087496
>Just listen to yourself.
Oh the irony.
Just address the post.
>>69081039
How do you vote without ID?!
>>69087510
>You're not required to identify yourself when you vote?
You are but it is based upon personal information. Generally you have to give your full name and address.
>>69087493
You mean lose?
>>69086990
The number of people who lacked photo ID was incredibly minuscule already, and they included provisions for free voter ID's for anyone who lacked another photo ID.
>>69087510
33 states require ID. A map of the states that don't is almost a perfect map of the unshakeable Democrat strongholds. They love illegals voting.
>>69087576
then whats stoping you from voting for the sjw of whom you know the name and adresss???
>>69087510
You are required to register beforehand, but basically the idea is that you can stop people from voting if they are too poor to afford an ID. Only the republican controlled states implement these laws since it prevents poor people for voting for their own self interests (the democrats).
>>69087448
The way you are posting does make it look like that and I don't know how you get attacking character from that.
>>69087661
Now you know why we passed voter ID laws. One person introducing legislation on it was a state rep who showed up to vote and was told she had already voted.
>>69085504
I was underage and would travel on my mums passport with my green card. I was with her during the test. I was in the 4th grade and hanks to my public school education I helped her pass the test, she had no idea apparently that there was one. If you fail that at this point in your life after living here forever you're fucking retarded and shouldn't vote.
>>69087579
Hmm? I mean that the republicans have no chance in national elections, so we have to use whatever laws we can to get an edge.
>>69087661
>then whats stoping you from voting for the sjw of whom you know the name and adresss???
The laws for one. Doing that is grounds for identity theft.
But I agree that I wish more states would take more effective means to prevent voter fraud. As mentioned previously in the thread, there should be more electronics so that poll workers can visually/electronically verify.
>>69087734
The right to vote does not predicate upon one's grasp of political and legal facts.
>>69087665
33 states. Fair enough. Those are the Republican ones. Including Maine where it was introduced and passed by an overwhelmingly Democrat state government.
See above story about the state rep who was told she had already voted? She was a Democrat in Maine.
>>69087672
>The way you are posting does make it look like that
I'm sorry if my verbiage makes you feel insecure. If you have such an issue with how I write my posts rather than what I actually wrote I don't think the problem is on the other side of your keyboard.
Now, would you like to address what was posted rather than make comments about the person who posted it?

The second one was your best attempt. Perhaps if we didn't control a majority of the House and Senate, and Governorships the others wouldn't have seemed so laughable.
Or ya know, if Maine hadn't passed a voter id law while the DNC begged them not to because it would shatter the racist republican jim crow attack they were using about voter id laws.
>>69083568
Actually the country would just balkanize in that case
This pretend world you have where rednecks who are doing most of the breeding among whites living in rural regions which are mostly white will just kowtow to urban liberals and the minorities they claim to lord over is completely nonsensical
The inevitable result is revolution, not white hardasses going "y-yes mr. cuckinsky I'll get right to servicing that bull". But then maybe liberals assume that will be how things will go because they themselves are mostly cucks.
Of course this is ignoring that what you're posting is just bait anyway

>>69087951
See, and I was busy complimenting your shitposting skills while you went and blew it.
Maine was the one that blew the Democrat's thesis, not mine. The Democrat strongholds MUST resist voter id law now. They all called it Jim Crow. They literally can't support it now.
And they did everything in their power to stop Maine's legislature from passing it because of how it undercut the narrative attacking voter id laws.
>>69087951
Hawaii and New Hampshire and Michigan sure are red states now

Maine's second district will most likely vote Trump this time around because of the strong working class Democratic population there that's been edging towards the Republicans for a while now
I'm guessing they'll complain that it only went for Trump because of voter id laws
>>69088126
As is the democratic motive when they push for same-day registration laws, what's your point? The republicans will stop pushing for things that benefit them when democrats stop doing the same.
>>69088126
1) That was already another reply directed to me anyway.
2) There are far too many swing and blue states requiring ID to make that stick anymore...
>>69088087
And that's not current. Mississipi required ID since 2014. Also notably the blackest state in the nation. Nothing could pass there if blacks opposed it.
>>69081039
Good in theory abused in practice. We need voter ID to avoid fraud, unfortunately there are cases where the process is intentionally complicated to prevent voters. Both sides are kind of right
>>69088202
That is clearly a "No, I will not address what you post."

If you're legal, you can vote.
>>69088360

Why should it? Do not citizens have a duty to vote, pay taxes, serve on juries, etc?
California fixed this issue. They just gave all the illegals drivers licenses. There. No problem now.
>>69088224
What did you just learn to obfuscate truth with statistics? I have some bad news for you.
The overwhelming majority of states are red states.
In Denmark you just have to be a citizen to vote
You'll be send a voucher in the mail automatically when you're a citizen, and you just show it at the polls.
But you can just bring your social security card, you don't even need the voucher.
>>69088325
Both sides are "kind of right" because both sides participate in the same kinds of politics designed to maximize their own turnout and minimize the other side's
I imagine if Trump sweeps the white working class in certain blue states we'll see pushes to institute voter id laws there to reduce the voting base back to the white middle class liberals
The only reason these shills are arguing against voter ID is because they want the votes of illegals and dead people, you know the shit dems have been doing for years. It's pathetic really.

>Thoughts on Voter ID laws /pol/?
Good. It keeps people who aren't allowed to vote, like illegal aliens, from voting. If anyone could just vote, what if China managed to smuggle millions to elect someone that will make the US a Chinese territory? Or a bunch of refugee Muslims that want to legalize raping women?
>>69088423
Retarded people shouldn't be able to vote, pretty simple.
Are the standard here.
But then, we also have an ID requirement law.
