Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Explain to me the Voter ID Debate

I have stood at the polls every election for many years. I serve as a registered GOP poll watcher.
I verify signatures, insure that procedures are followed when a voter shows up without their proper ID, and in general, monitor the voting process.
I have caught MANY voters in the process of casting illegal ballots. In most cases, the official poll workers (dhimmicrats here in my County) were going to let those persons cast a vote.

Somebody voted my dead father in one recent election. The book of names was open on the table for all to see. You simply had to give a name without producing any type of ID. The worker marked through your name and gave you a card to give to the fellow at the machine. I saw that my father's name had been marked out to show he had voted. I asked the worker if the mark meant that he had voted. She said it did. I told her that he had died in 2000.

I was sent two voter registration cards one time. Both had my correct name and address. Each had a different voting place. I voted where I usually vote and then went to the other place. They were going to let me vote again. My name was on their list. I got all the way through the process and was told to go to a machine. I asked to see the person in charge and told him that there was a problem because they had already let me vote. He wanted to get mad at me for trying to vote twice until I reminded him that they were the ones who had made it very easy to do so if I had wanted to. I had no intention of voting twice but was just wanting to see if the system would let me.

My wife tried to vote on one occasion and was refused because someone had already voted for her.

I have never had to show any form of ID to vote in NC. I could very easily just pick out names in the phone book, go to vote early, and vote often. That is why they say vote early and often.

No, voter fraud never occurs. Right.



(I have never participated in any voter fraud and have never voted more than once.)

there is simply no justification for opposing ID requirements....other than the obvious one that it would prevent the wholesale fraud that is part of the democrat SOP.

it is insulting to minorities to gin up this ridiculous cover story that they are somehow so incompetent they can't obtain an ID or that they somehow manage to live their lives without one.

In Fl, Charlotte County anyway you must show your Fl DL or FL State ID to vote.

Steve, you are absolutely correct. People should not be allowed to vote the dead or vote early and often. Noncitizens should not be allowed to vote. Libs depend on these things (edit: in some places)to get elected and do not want the laws to make it more difficult for them to cheat.

Liberals have no shame.

Apparently there has never been an illegal vote cast for a Republican.

Good to know.

funny, Republicans sure don't seem to worry about requiring people to prove who they are, do they?

that could be because felons, illegals, and paid fraudsters tend to vote democrat.

while it's true that you have to register before you can vote, once you're on the registered voter list, it's nearly impossible to get anyone off it. If they die, move to another state, or even another city, etc., they are supposed to be removed from the rolls. One of my daughters moved from AZ to ID several years ago, reported her move to the voter registration folks at the county registrar's office. Periodically they send out a questionnaire, we fill it out showing she moved away. Guess what, she's still on the rolls.
Having to show ID to vote will prevent someone, or at least make it more difficult for someone, to vote in the name of someone who is not supposed to be on the rolls, but is. that's mostly how all the dead and missing people vote.
Voter ID is just a good idea. Sadly most politicians, of both parties, are opposed to good ideas.

When I voted in the recent primary, I had to show an ID. The lady behind the table had worked with me for 20 years and the other is my next door neighbor. Still had to present ID. So what is the problem with the Obama crowd?

While skullduggery has occurred on both sides of the aisle over the years, there is not doubt which party has owned the title of voter fraud champion for many decades now. And it should never be forgotten which party it is which not only seeks to stuff the ballot box with illegal votes, but at the same time seeks to disenfranchise our military service members' votes. There is no low which the progressive socialists will not embrace.

Down the its simplest reason, the democrats want to be able to cheat. All the posturing about disenfranchisement and racial inequality really is a smokescreen for their desire to cheat. Nothing more nothing less.
Oh the libtards that frequent here will try to split hairs about what is an ID and what isn't. They are purposely muddying the waters cause they want to be able to cheat. Its all very simple.

TOTAL BULLSH*T

Anything that makes it harder to commit voter fraud lowers the number of Democrat votes compared to Republican votes.

Until I can walk in and buy any gun I want at damned time I want from a legal gun dealer (one of whom has known me for thirty years), without notifying some type of government official or filing who I am and being checked on it, the "disenfranchised" need to go [bleep] themselves.

Well I have to show proper Id, in order for me to just go to the General Aviation ramp and pre flight a Cessna 152. I need a proper Id in order to buy a gun or a hunting lic. So I should also provide an proper Id to vote. I carry on my person, a Drivers Lic, Two Pilot Certificates, a Birth Certificate and a United States Passport. I can prove I am a citizen of the United States. I have read that 10% of the vote is democrat ballot box stuffing, that is 10% that anybody else has to over come in order to win. This is nothing new. It high time for it to stop. Then again if it did, the Dems would loose even more elections than they have been.

Funny Dems bring up Voters' right when every election they have repeatedly and internally have tried to suppress overseas military ballots.


You cannot mention Dems and elections without the word fraud.

ask Joe Kennedy

It does not lower the number of legitimate voters but, as you said, lowers the number of votes. It also lowers the number of illegitimate voters.

In Oregon, during the last mid-term election, after all of the votes had been counted, several boxes full of ballots mysteriously showed up under an overpass in Portland, it was counted without any checks, swaying the vote to the Dems. Try to tell me that voter fraud isn't a big deal.

Voter fraud and anything having anything to do with Chicago... are synonymous.

The spin only helps those trying to beat the system. Try getting your SS without a SS number and that isn't a right its an entittlement. Its a right to be able to own and carry a gun almost all states require ID to do that. The left once again just happens to be in agenda overdrive.
