Well, it could buy a whole bunch of UBER gift cards that would make it possible for those poor folks to get to the polls. Just one idea I thought of off the top of my head.
Absolutely not. But, when proposals to fix it by putting a more rigid process in place, Democrats are up in arms about it. Some of their criticism is valid, in that Republicans do seem to put it forward in ways that give reason to criticize, but given sufficient time (ie, not just a couple months) anyone who is eligible to vote could easily get the proper ID card...and it would then be harder for ineligible people to vote.
Im cautious when I speak big gubment, but the Federal government really needs to set a minimum requirement for voter registration. A simple process such as automatically registering someone when they get a valid State ID/License. Whatever address is listed with the state DMV is your voting district. At this point, we do not need strict voter ID at the booth. We need to do away with this separate voter registration nonsense.
Sigh. Can't answer the question, even while implying that it is incredibly simple. I'll put that down for 'Can't answer, point granted', and we can move past this then.
Yes, that voter suppression seemed a pretty far leap. Who suppresses the very vote they are trying to get? As I indicated previously, these people are going to be in heavily Democratic areas. Meaning the voting precincts are going to be run by Democrats. Why would Democrats suppress the vote of people who vote heavily Democrat?
Money can be spent to ensure that everyone in the neighborhood has a state approved voter ID. Money can be spent to ensure that the state did not improperly purge neighborhood voters. Money can be spent to educate the neighborhood on how to absentee vote or how to vote early (location and times).
No. Only guarantee that we have a big dummy in the White House for the next 3 years. tRUMP. You vote dumb, you are dumb.
Nobody does this in my neighborhood. Nobody does this in my neighborhood. Nobody does this in my neighborhood. And yet, I voted just as always. Let me ask you a question. At what point does "personal responsibility" enter into the equation? Why all the hand holding? Voting is a right but it is also a responsibility. I would simply state, if you want to exercise your rights, then do what needs to be done to insure you CAN vote instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.
I guess you have @Anticope -- who already explained why your argument didn't make sense -- on ignore. Here's what he said: "Because these laws are being passed at the state level, just look at North Carolina and its recent issues. You are aware that poor, Democratic leaning voters also reside in red and swing states too, correct?" Conservative state governments are engineering voter ID laws to incrementally reduce turnout of minorities in big-city liberal strongholds in their states.
Here in North Carolina, Republicans instituted a voter suppression law which targeted "African Americans with almost surgical precision” (quote taken verbatim from the federal appeals court). What should the proper response to the voter suppression law be?
There has to be a balance. What if you showed up at the polls just to find out that your name has been dropped? Would you take full personal responsibility that your state government ****ed you behind your back?
