    When you make laws against non-existent crimes, then it is clear that your intentions are anything but honorable

    How are we supposed to know these Native Americans are valid citizens? I've heard stories of them crossing over the frozen land bridge in the Bering Strait to vote and then crossing back.

    Here we go. States are going to get a lot of leeway.

    Heck, if the "angry mob" (i.e. any two democrats within the same state) is threatening our democracy, they probably shouldn't be allowed to have ID at all. Or definitely not to vote. In fact, I mean just for safety, we should round up the "angry mob," just so that, you know, they don't hurt themselves or others! Let's make sure we can account for all of the "angry mob" before the mid-terms, dontchya think?

    Basically the real reason Kavanaugh had to be pushed through.

    Now every state can enact draconian laws to prevent minorities and the poor who skew liberal from voting. This will allow them to further consolidate power. They will keep passing these laws everywhere and then as they gain more power pass even more laws and fill the courts with loyalists.

    What they don't realise is that by disenfranchising so many people ultimate it will lead to revolution.

    Funny that the same people who claim that it's wrong to require an ID for people to vote because of the unlikely chance that it could prevent some from exercising their rights are the same kinds of people who would flip out if gun sales were conducted without ID....hypocrisies like that absolutely destroy their argument but from what I've seen they generally aren't smart enough to realize it.

    You do realize poll taxes are illegal and it seems like this what it is. Please get out of here with founding father stuff. I guess you want it to go back to when only white landing owning men could vote?

    lol just lol!

    What does that have to do with the fact that poll taxes were recognized as unconstitutional?

    Also, which party is advocating for free healthcare again? Lulz.

    Ah so presenting an ID is too large a barrier when it comes to voting, would you agree that it is also too large a barrier when it comes to buying a gun? I mean, you wouldn't want to support the legal equivalent of a poll tax making it to where only white land owning men could exercise their rights would you?

    Lulz indeed, gotta love it when people are talking about essentially doubling taxes yet they still have the audacity to call that program "free".

    1. pass a law that requires everyone to buy health insurance or pay a hefty fine
    2. insist that I.D.s which can be procured at a fraction of the cost of an insurance policy are an unreasonable expectation for secure elections
    3. call anyone who disagrees "racist"

    ridiculous **** like that is why i left the democrat plantation

    False equivalence - you can only vote within a specific time frame while you can buy a gun anytime you want.

    Making laws for non-existent crimes simply shows you have ulterior motives

    imagine actually believing that verifying a voter's identification is a "poll tax".

    You really are comparing guns to IDs...I mean wow. I know that study revealed that Trump supporters are cognitively challenged but is it really this much so?

    Why are you two talking about healthcare? There are threads for that. I mean, if you really want to stack up a few more losses we can take this discussion to one of the healthcare threads. I have no issue telling you why this logic is laughable at best.

    Yes, if you charge for the identification then it is essentially a tax.

    As mentioned above, do you have any proof of voter fraud at all? Any?

    False equivalence, the home for conservatives since Reagan.
