Guess who supports it?

Quote
President Donald Trump strongly endorsed a national voter identification law Thursday, repeating his claim that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election.

I hope the liberal heads spin right off.

I say, make it a law that all votes for federal positions be positively verified for ID. If states want to have "free for all" votes for state and local positions, fine. Let 'em. But if the ballot has federal positions on it, positive ID required.

Good intent, bad solution. I'm against giving more state and local power to the Federal government though any kind of national registry. We have plenty of ID, no need for more at the Federal level.

The problem isn't ID documents but local enforcement, and voting is by local precincts, run by county administration in the state I know best. 'Course, we could do away with state and local government and let our efficient bureaucrats in D.C., who have our local interests at heart, run everything.

You should have to have and show ID to vote. I know a @$$ hat that lives in a small town just outside of a larger city. Said person used to live in that city before moving to the smaller town. Never changed their address and still votes in the larger city and thinks it's perfectly fine. Persons a libtard of course.

State and local elections could and should be separated from national, federal elections.

The state can handle that easily.

They will be offset by the states that are all fe-mail ballots.

You have that correct hasbeen,

Could be stated the same for most anything:

The Swamp will fight immigration reform laws very hard. There has been talk of immigration problems since before I was a kid. Nothing has changed.

The Swamp will fight true tax reform (as in a flat tax, 1 page tax form for everyone) very hard. There has been talk of tax reform since I was a kid. Nothing has changed.

Geno

PS, I kinda hold with whoever it was about not giving us another ID at another level. Easy enough to do like they have with DL's, set a minimum standard for your state or we won't recognize you state's DL for boarding planes etc.

I guess it would be easy-peasy.

You enter your national ID # to have a valid vote in national races.

Same as at the polls. The states could let who they wanted in the polling places, but to activate a vote for national elections, the voter ID would have to be presented.

Without that, you could vote in all local elections, but it wouldn't even factor into national elections.

My wife and I were in the grocery, and decided to get a bottle of blackberry wine for a cake she was baking. I am 67 years old, and had to show my ID to buy it. If that's the case for that, then it should be a no brainer for voting......something that has one hellva lot more implications than buying wine. I see absolutely nothing wrong with requiring an ID in order to vote......AND if I was running the show, you'd have to own property in order to vote, and show proof that you are an American citizen.

In my mind the only folks opposed to voter identification laws are the folks who have something to gain by having unidentified or improperly identified voters vote... Nothing to hide, no worries...

One has to show id when buying spirits/beer ans smoking products.

It should be the same with voting.

Folks that say is causes hardship on certain folks have no clue about what they speak.

They can get a card free, so no one should be without one.

Might help prevent Dead Uncle Fred from voting, but I am not an expert on voter fraud.

Federal Law can be easily supervised and enforced by federal law enforcement. I know of few people who would want to risk violating federal election law.

Exactly. This kind of thinking, about going to the Feds for national registry and control to solve local problems, is what scares me about my friends, never mind the leftists. laugh

A federal registry of voters managed by computer is a dream come true for any national police force, whether we call it Gestapo, Homeland Security, KGB, Purity in the Voting Booth or whatever. The Republicans are setting up the means for a police state, all in the name of protecting us. Does anyone really believe that if the bureaucrats in DC had a national registry that they would limit it to voting? Once in place it would be a waste not to add the individual's police record, medical record, gun ownership, political affiliations...

I say again that setting up Homeland Security was the single worst act of Congress in my lifetime and will eventually be used against anyone who openly disagrees with the government in power. It is a baby Gestapo. A computer based national registry of voters is merely another step on the way.

We can be sure that no Attorney General nor police officer would abuse such power. wink Nah, we'll register everybody and can be sure than only good guys will use the system.

Let's see, a laser bar code tattoo or implant would simplify the system, make it a lot easier for those protecting us. It could carry all of the info about each person and make it quick and easy to spot terrorists, illegal voters, tax delinquents, those behind on child support, concealed carry permit-tees, and make it much safer for police officers.

Do we really really want to lay the foundation for such a system by starting a national registry of voters? Obviously many here do want that. It used to be that only the socialists ran to the Feds to solve local problems, but now we are all getting on that wagon. This Federal cure is worse than the country disease.

I don't understand the problem. Here in TN we have to have ID to open a bank account, drive on public roads, purchase alcohol and yes Vote. When we go to vote we have to have both our voter registration card and proof of who we are. Why can't other states do the same.
