I remember when I first went to vote, I even brought my SS card with me. I was surprised when they didn't check IDs. I thought, how legit can this be?

Because the underlying motive has nothing to do with ID. And voter fraud is damn near unheard of. You can't even get people to show up for local races if you begged them!
What's the underlying motive? A fair and level voting system?
Hold on lemme get my popcorn....

I was never asked for any form of ID when I voted also...makes you wonder...
I went to get my ID out and they were like we don't need it...

I have been the past few times I've voted. It's "optional", but I don't really mind.
Like I said, I'm all about ID'ing voters.
Just make sure you're giving them the government-issued ID they need without ridiculous charges involved (not just for the ID, but for trying to get copies of birth records if they don't have them, etc.)

Seriously, I get what you're saying and why you're saying it, it's just a very, very limited mindset thinking it's as easy for everyone as it is for you.

According to the article, fraud is so easy that's it's essentially "undetectable", as in someone pointing out that it isn't ever cited is meaningless as it goes on undetected all the time.
If we have a nationally popular vote, all the perpetrators of voter fraud need to do, is to set up shop in a very small handful of large cities and just pump out the fraud. Instead of today where contested states are the "battleground" and there is at least some degree of awareness. So you're essentially creating a problem based on a lack of evidence. Is there an incessant, primal need for you to be scared of something that you feel the need to do this?

Now prove fraud is happening. Or how having ID will squash this fraud.

It's not like they fabricated the story though.
Those are literally just the four most readily-available links I found on a quick google search.
For instance, I hate Glen Beck, but everyone once in a blue moon, the little *** reports some actual facts.

"Pump out the fraud"
I'll have to remember at my next communist meeting to tell all my comrades that our plan next election is to bus in hundreds of immigrants to poison the election. Then we'll open up gay ice cream shoppes in small American towns specializing in converting children to gayism. All while a chorus of black guys steal all the jobs.

One of these days I'm going to figure out if you actually understand all the nuances and you're a terrible person, or if you just actually believe what your conservative masters tell you and you're just an ignorant person.

See I hate the right things though ! That makes it okay.
If we agree upon what to hate it is no longer a bad thing.

McCarthyism ended in the 50s and was shitty even then.
Political witch hunts never end. See: "The War on Drugs," "The War on Terrorism."

So it's my understanding that the voter ID laws in Brazil, Canada, Netherlands, and Switzerland are not racist then?

I don't know about Brazil, as a non-extradition country can't really be trusted imo, but as for the other three, I'm willing to bet it's really easy and free to get said ID. ^^

No I like to hate it makes me feel inside !

Oh I know. But to still be on the same one that is over 60 years old when you weren't even alive when that was going on...
I dunno. I really like Led Zeppelin, and they disbanded before I was born.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
