Question: Why are Dems so against voter I.D. laws?
- Thread starter bamacon
- Start date
Heck in 1996, a group of voters in California went to the vicinity of a polling station with signs in English and Spanish saying "Warning! It is against the law for non-citizens to vote in a US election!"
The local Democrat party secured an emergency court order from the nearest Federal judge to stop "voter intimidation." Of course, no rational human being could believe that such a sign would intimidate a legal voter. But a Federal judge believe this was the case and issued the injunction.[/QUOTE]
This was in California, right? It might also happen in NY, and maybe Florida (maybe not) but I'd bet a lot no judge anywhere else, federal or otherwise, would fall on that hand grenade right now. They let people heckle at military funerals, and I know voting is different, but quoting the law would be OK in just about any other state. Pretty sure Alabama would have no problem with it.

I know plenty of poor people and elderly people and poor elderly people and they have a photo ID. They need it to get cigarettes and cheap booze.
I can't believe people are vouching for people to decide who the nation's leaders should be, when they can't or won't meet the same requirement as a Blockbuster video.

It's not that at all. They just want to think we're so gullible as to fall for their lies. In the Democratic Party, it's all about the lies, the deceit and the cheating to avoid playing by the same rules as the rest of us.
Geez..by all their words and their actions you'd think those folks are down on the plains. ..
I agree and have no problem giving out free ID cards for voting purposes. (If a non-driver wanted an ID for other reasons, they would still have to pay).
The actual cost of printing a drivers license is a lot smaller than whatever it is you actually pay, so it wouldn't be a big expense.
maybe it is different outside of baltimore. i applaud you for finding a sensible area of maryland in which you can hide from the absurdity of bmore. i dont see what i want, i just happen to notice this is easily the most racist place i have ever lived or even visited.
but back to the subject- this has nothing to do with the poor or the elderly or minorities. it has everything to do with cheating like hell in elections. it is obvious to anyone who even gives it a cursory glance. everything else is a red herring to the discussion.
That's true. If a birth certificate can be forged, how difficult can a driver license be? :wink:
why dont we go old school and just put purple paint on people's thumbs?
...or does that discriminate against the poor and the elderly?

As I asked earlier, is there any documentation showing any significant amount of voter fraud today? I dont know and no one seems able to provide any.
I've wondered that myself. Makes you think!why dont we go old school and just put purple paint on people's thumbs?
...or does that discriminate against the poor and the elderly?
The purple thumb only avoids multiple votes by the same person, doesn't disallow those who aren't legal voters. That's what the picture ID is about.
No, just the cripple. ADA would be ALL over it.why dont we go old school and just put purple paint on people's thumbs?

Maybe your statement relies on the word, "significant". Nevertheless, maybe this is at least a small example: http://electionlawcenter.com/2011/10/18/indiana-voter-fraud-scandal-grows.aspxAs I asked earlier, is there any documentation showing any significant amount of voter fraud today?

LOL. The problem is that pictures are static while our actual faces are not. People change hair styles or colors, grow beard, wear glasses or contacts, perform plastic surgeries, and on top of it all we age. I swear when I look at my wife's ID picture which was taken during her college year, I'm not really sure who I'm looking at.
I'm sure someone will say that is voter intimidation or discrimates against those without thumbs. Shop teachers are over the country would be unable to vote.why dont we go old school and just put purple paint on people's thumbs?

this got all the news. to be fair, i dont know how many fraudulent votes were cast, just the sign-ups were fraudulent.As I asked earlier, is there any documentation showing any significant amount of voter fraud today? I dont know and no one seems able to provide any.
