Better hope this Republican bill doesn't pass

In other words, government fitness tests in order to exercise a constitutional protected right is fine. But requiring photo ID to vote isn't.

I think in this case, Republicans are for both scenarios of restricting freedoms.

I like to pretend that requiring proof that you can legally vote in an election constitutes a restriction of freedom. That's what I like to do.

I like to pretend that requiring proof that you can legally vote in an election requiring a background check to buy a gun constitutes a restriction of freedom. That's what I like to do.

I like to start a thread about Republican and NRA sponsorship of a bill that would have states provide background information to the FBI for use in determining whether or not a person is fit to buy a firearm, then throw in a straw man argument that vetting the legality of voters is a restriction of freedom, and follow up by punking my original post. That's what I like to do.

I like to use I like to, too much. I also like to throw out straw man when I clearly don't know what it means. Cause that's what I like to do.
 
The state-issued ID WRT to voting rights is interesting.

Personally, I don't think it is all that burdensome to have a state-issued ID.

But it tends to be the anti-water-fluoridation/black helicopter types that insist that the Gummit is going to tattoo the Number of the Beast on our collective foreheads using state-issued ID.

According to advocacy groups for minorities and the elderly, these populations are significantly more likely to NOT have a state-issued ID card. 11% of citizens do not possess a state issued ID card.

Voter ID seems to be a solution looking for a problem - only 10 cases of voter impersonation have been documented among 2,068 voter fraud cases over the last 15 years, or one in 15 million voters.

I call straw man.

Since we don't really require citizens or illegals to provide a real ID for free services, maybe it's not too much to ask for them to provide an ID to participate in our democracy?

I mean the hassle of having to wait in line at the DMV is simply cruel and unusual punishment.

What purpose does it serve? Looking at the data, illegals aren't trying to vote without the requirement that voters present state-issued photo ID. We're just making life harder for minorities, cripples and the olds.
 
Does anyone actually realize you have to document US citizenship during the voter registration process?

You know you are a Republican when you think you have to show more evidence for who you are to vote than buy a gun.

You know you're a Republican when you have enough edumacation to know the Democrats are the party of "vote early and vote often".

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

And, fuck off.
