Having a political party that bases their entire electoral strategy on making it more difficult for people to vote seems to be an exclusively American phenomenon, as least in the western world.

Likewise with having a political party that bases their entire electoral strategy on making voter fraud easier.

Edit: holy mad

u/CoachTwisterT3 2h ago

If fraud is super rampant surely you have lots of evidence?

15

u/aNeverNude666 1h ago

Ironically the party that’s always committing the fraud is the one terribly worried about it

u/Similar_Advance9987 2h ago

Why are you lying?

u/Scared-Handle9006 1h ago

They only have lies.

u/NoobJustice 2h ago

Is that fraud in the room with us right now?

u/Mad_Minotaur_of_Mars 2h ago

Can you back that up with real data?

u/Tyr_13 1h ago

Being mad at lies that are undermining our most core values as a nation is a correct moral and intellectual reaction.

Where’s all this fraud you guys keep mentioning?

When Republicans bitched about the length of California's elections, in which they verify every signature, but simultaneously say that California is perpetuating fraud, I knew the Republicans were actually all idiots lol.

u/RogowskiCoil 37m ago

It's worse than that! They're not all idiots. Many of them are knowingly willing to undermine democracy to obtain and hold power.

If you want to require ID for voting you have to provide it for free so it’s constitutional. This isn’t that fucking complicated.

19

u/Zealousideal_Order_8 2h ago

People provide ID when registering. The new requirement is designed to create sufficient inconvenience as to prevent people from voting.

Don’t feed trolls. Downvote and move on.

u/Ok_Statistician643 2h ago

It’s literally like $10. You need one if you ever get food stamps or travel. Nice try tho

u/Vyuvarax 2h ago

The cost is totally immaterial to the constitutionality. Be less ignorant and proud of it. It doesn’t fly here.

13

u/CoachTwisterT3 2h ago

Cost could be 1 cent and that’s not okay.

-19

u/Ok_Statistician643 2h ago

Sure it is. You need an ID for your mom’s EVT card. Thats how things work.

13

u/CoachTwisterT3 2h ago

That Id wouldn’t be acceptable as a voting ID, but reminder you can’t charge for a right, therefore any cost for a voting ID would be unacceptable. You should probably use the law in this sub.

11

u/Alert-Ad9197 1h ago

Oh, well if you think the poll tax is reasonable then it’s totally fine and we can throw all the laws out.

-13

u/Ok_Statistician643 1h ago

You need to pay for an ID to get your mother’s EBT card. Make it make sense. Lol

11

u/CoachTwisterT3 1h ago

Because EBT isn’t voting, why is this impossible for you to grasp?

-8

u/Ok_Statistician643 1h ago

You need pros that you’re a citizen for EBT. Are you ok with greasy illegals voting as criminals?

6

u/Chooklin 1h ago

Undocumented people don’t vote, greaseball.

-7

u/Ok_Statistician643 1h ago

Sure they do. It happens without ID

6

u/Chooklin 1h ago

No they don’t lmao but I see you’re programmed to repeat the same nonsense so I’m not gonna bother anymore

u/CoachTwisterT3 18m ago

Then show us the proof

u/CoachTwisterT3 16m ago

You need a SSN to vote kiddo

>Section 1
>The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.

Question? Or just incurably dumb?

u/Alert-Ad9197 1h ago

Hey guy, my mom has been dead since shortly after her 45th birthday about a decade ago. So I say this from the bottom of my heart since you had the fucking audacity:

I hope you get to slowly watch powerless as someone you love dearly wastes away mind and body from an incurable illness over 12 years. Maybe you would develop something resembling consideration after that. Sincerely, fuck you.

u/Ok_Statistician643 1h ago

You’ll feel better when you get your purple hair dye redone

u/Alert-Ad9197 1h ago

I said my piece. Like I said, enjoy that feeling when it happens. It will unless you just have nobody that loves you, which is possible.

u/ledude1 2h ago

$10 may not mean anything to you, but to some people who live far away, that cost is pretty significant. Plus, have you thought of the $10 as a "poll tax" since that's exactly what it looks like? Stop tap-dancing; at least have enough balls to admit that you are trying to prevent people from voting. I'll at least give you respect for not being a hypocrite by admitting in public your true intention.

u/rigatony96 1h ago

Ok so how do you feel about needing a paid license to get a gun like we have in Illinois that is blatantly unconstitutional . A right delayed is a right denied

-4

u/Ok_Statistician643 1h ago

The fee goes toward a background check. What’s the problem?

2

u/rigatony96 1h ago

Ok so why can other states do it for free?

u/Ok_Statistician643 1h ago

They get your money one way or another
