Those who do not want Voter IDs to become law, do often do make the excuse that minorities (mostly black) cannot for whatever reason, get IDs at all, simply to gain a foothold in their flimsy argument. ... Copied to Clipboard!

argonautweakend posted... The reason is laid out in your articles: financial means. If black people on average have less financial means, there isnt anything racist about it, if its fact. But my point as i'll reiterate, I dont think ID laws are made to specifically target and disenfranchise the black vote, but rather the democrat vote, which attracts poor people of all backgrounds(and tend to vote democrat in larger number) ...

WhatPoll posted...argonautweakend posted... it disenfranchises people that do not have a lot of time availability, access to transportation, or financial means. ID itself may not cost a lot. When you realize you need to also have a copy of your birth certificate and other documentation (costs money to obtain), that you need to wait in an office potentially for hours to get a new ID (and miss out on wages from work or other opportunities), and that you may not be able to afford travel to a place that can issue ID (if you even have public transit to the location), you can easily see how it disenfranchises the poorest citizens. --- Never write off the Doctor! ...

So, I am following sources from that ACLU article.
So, one of those directly leads to a telephone survey, using census numbers from 2000, and despite the fact that those taking the survey, were not proven to be told the truth about their situation. They were asked if they were issued "government-issued photo identification", instead of using more commonly used terms like a "birth certificate" or a "driver's license", which may have skewed the results, with those being confused as to what is being asked, making the whole survey bunk. Another one claims that "voter fraud are isolated incidents". Despite the fact that during this past election, New Hampshire went to Hillary Clinton, by a 2,736 votes, despite the fact that 6,540 Massachusetts citizens went over the border and illegally voted in New Hampshire due to it being one of 15 states using Same Day Registration. http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-registration.aspx http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/sep/7/voter-fraud-alert-over-5000-new-hampshire-presiden/ And New Hampshire is a small state, consisting of about 1,330,000 people, which means that this effect can be amplified on larger states. So, without voter ID, you are allowing mass fraud to go on, and swing entire states another way. ... Copied to Clipboard!

it disenfranchises people that do not have a lot of time availability, access to transportation, or financial means. I hate to argue any point that ICOYAR might agree with, but what do you think these people do without ID's? Like, you need one to get a job, to drive, to (hopefully) get benefits, bank accounts, buy booze/tobacco, etc. Who are these people? I'm going to make a point of saying I don't necessarily agree with voter ID laws because the data is dubious, but come on. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 ...

Not everyone works, drives, has a bank account, buys things that require ID, etc. These are people that may be disabled, they may be homeless, they may just have fallen through some cracks. They could be on fixed income and unable to fit the expenses into a budget. I know for a brief time I didn't have any valid photo ID (it was very expired) and had no way to obtain a new card without a substantial expense (over $100) which was just not practical for me. My name was also not on the utilities or other bills so that made it extra difficult. My broke ass status shouldn't preclude me from voting where I'm legally entitled to. You don't necessarily need valid photo ID to work by the way. I didn't have a bank account for a while either. You transfer your cheques to someone with an account or get your cheques cashed at places that will do it for you and they eat up big fees. Not that I could have voted there... But I noticed my coworkers were in a similar boat. No extra money. Impractical to get to the offices during the hours they're open. Don't have all the required documents. That stuff is not common than you think. Lots of people have previously had ID but it expired or was misplaced and the cost and process to get it again can be an undue burden for many. As mentioned by the ACLU over 11% of adults do not have photo ID. This issue disproportionately affects people that are low income and courts have ruled the requirement of photo ID to be in violation of the Voters Rights Act. --- Never write off the Doctor! ...

I argued that it could be skewed statistics, due to what was not able to be understood during the telephone survey (as they would not have known what exactly a "government issued photo identification" was, despite having one themselves), and even if some of the respondents may not be telling the truth. ...

Not everyone works, drives, has a bank account, buys things that require ID, etc. These are people that may be disabled, they may be homeless, they may just have fallen through some cracks. They could be on fixed income and unable to fit the expenses into a budget. Are homeless people doing a lot of voting? Don't you need to have a registered address to vote? So I guess you need to be disabled but not receiving any benefits, have never worked before, had your parents be shitbags and lose your documents from birth (or have done it yourself), and then also have no time or money to get any of the documents that you basically need to live in this country. Doctor Foxx posted... You don't necessarily need valid photo ID to work by the way. I didn't have a bank account for a while either. You transfer your cheques to someone with an account or get your cheques cashed at places that will do it for you and they eat up big fees. You absolutely need an ID to work. You have to have some form of ID to legally by hired by anyone. So unless you're getting paid under the table, which is illegal, you need an ID. Doctor Foxx posted...

Myth has been busted and your sources are terrible. "may have registered to vote" does not mean did vote, and it turns out they didn't even register. Your sources either have absolutely no sources for their claiming that there is "no evidence" that out-of-staters were illegally voting in New Hampshire, due to "busses not carrying that much", even though it takes about one hour to go from most places in Massachusetts, to New Hampshire, usually by taking I-91in Western Mass. The other claim was that voter fraud "does not exist at all", despite the fact that it does exist all due to the fact that there are no voter ID laws, and people can and will vote fraudulently under dead people's names (in which perhaps millions are not removed from voter registration databases). ...

The very nature of photo ID wouldn't allow that. How could you verify the identity that way? We're just in thought experiment territory here. Let's say we make it completely free for a person to be able to get their government documents like a birth certificate and you could apply online. Would that be acceptable? As I understand it, when you apply for those documents without having anything to verify your ID, you have to furnish your social security number and birthdate, as well as your parents names and info and what not. I don't see much reason that you couldn't do this remotely. So let's say you have the ability to do that, and I make it free. Is it acceptable then to require voter ID? Doctor Foxx posted...
No, it's really not just one of those things that needs to happen. You have to have a confluence of almost every single one of those things to happen otherwise I think they're just not putting any effort into it. And honestly, if you don't wanna put any effort into voting then you might as well not vote. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

In other words, you lost the argument about voter ID, which you started in Post 11 You've argued why you feel voter ID requirements are necessary, while the courts have ruled in why these requirements are unconstitutional and discriminatory. I'm going to side with people that have expertise and the legal background to understand these things. The mention of voter ID was part of the issues with the past election. Again, still about manafort. Smarkil posted... So let's say you have the ability to do that, and I make it free. Is it acceptable then to require voter ID?

CNN has learned that the FBI and the US intelligence community last year took the Steele dossier more seriously than the agencies have publicly acknowledged. James Clapper, then the director of national intelligence, said in a January 2017 statement that the intelligence community had "not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable." I wonder what the Steele dossier had to say about Manafort's dealings. Manafort was very quick to try and discredit it. --- Never write off the Doctor! ... Copied to Clipboard!
