It would be one thing if the ID law was already in place for years, or was grandfathered in so that the lederly were not discriminated against, but that was not the case. Grandma and granpa who are both 90 and have not ever had a valid drivers license or simply have an expired one do not have the way or means, much less the need to go get that ID. That is the problem.

great input. dumbass.

As well as the Anti-UN people getting self'd by suddenly relying on the UN to prove themselves.

I understand that, but when will this never be the case? People don't stop getting old. I could see grandfathering the clause in, but that only creates a logistical/administrative nightmare for poll workers to enforce.

These 98 year old grandmoms that were born in some other state and dont have a verifiable birth certificate will very quickly be a relic of the past... no one can operate in this modern era without an ID, and that is a fact.

We're the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't require voter ID. You know, because of the poor. Mexico doesn't have any poor people.

Back to the hypocrisy highlighted in the OP..... Wonder what is so shocking to the UN now that wasn't so shocking when they investigated the laws back in the spring? Should any country that is lower on the human rights scorecard have any right to tell us anything?

It really is pretty amazing we don't require ID to vote in person.

lol no

no doubt. i don't care what the UN says, there should be a law requiring ID to vote.

so you are also for voter ID? chalk up another one.

this is why we create these threads phanners. spreading the knowledge.

with us the un is just a bunch of faggots with nothing

because of the controls in place to obtain that piece of plastic? did you really just ask that?

because as americans we have a right to not ever register to vote, which thern means (in certain areas) that we would never be chosen for Jury Duty either.

oh, we're gonna play this game?

retina scans? fingerprints? a super-secret pass-phrase that only legally eligible and registered voters know when they receive their decoder ring in the mail a week before the election?

im spent. how else do you ID someone in person besides their unique physical characteristics?

also the only industrialized w/out universal healthcare for our citizens

also the only industrialized that still executes criminals.

talking points'd

only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't require a voter ID. did you read the article?

international officials from countries that vote with marbles are astounded at our voting system and the trust that is implied across tens of millions of people. most advanced country in the world, and we're voting our leaders in with a glorified game of 7-up.

the idea is to prove that you are who you say you are and the vote you're about to cast is eligible, not prove that youre not someone else. understand?

IDs are required for everything for a reason. Identity theft is a huge problem. Agreed?

Yet, apparently, steering the course of our nation for 320million people with your vote isn't quite as much of a concern as buying cigarettes or renting a hotel room.
