    It's not polite to call the cunt a "cracker". That's a racial epithet >>> and politically incorrect.

    But I am white, myself, it's rhetorical.

    Yeah, but ... you're not also a cunt.


    I consider "cunt" to be a harsher word than racial slurs.

    You would. You like dicks.

    Uh huh, nothing says confusion like "83% of U.S. adults favor requiring all voters to show government-issued photo identification to vote."

    Tard.


    Why would anyone take your word for it? Why didn't you post the link,
    and reference its information in a specific way? Are you that lame of a
    PC user?

    Why are you acting ignorant? Is "PC user" an insult? Is that like being called a "boomer"? Neither one are insults.

    Here are more:

    And it only too three days of shaming you to get you to do the
    responsible, adult thing and provide us with the sources for the
    numbers you mentioned.

    CBS News/YouGov (multiple recent surveys, e.g., March 2026 and July
    2026): Around 77u80% favored requiring valid photo ID to vote (20u23% >opposed). https://www.cbsnews.com/news/voting-process-photo-id-opinion-poll/

    Fox News Poll (July 2026): 77% of registered voters favored requiring
    photo identification to cast a ballot, and 83% favored it for
    registering to vote. Support has stayed consistently in the 77u85% range
    in Fox polling for years. >https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-significant-support-both-voter-id-laws-mail-in-ballots.
    Yeah I know...but but but Fox.

    Reuters/Ipsos (April 2026) 77% support voter ID laws.
    Slightly below the 80% threshold, but still demonstrates broad
    bipartisan support. >https://www.reuters.com/world/trumps-election-fraud-claims-spread-distrust-before-midterms-reutersipsos-poll-2026-04-23/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

    You may now begin with the "yeah, buts...."


    These numbers are perfectly acceptable but you would have saved page
    after page of useless flaming over the past three days if you had just
    posted these in the first place instead of arguing that you shouldn't
    have to. Then some discussion could have happened.

    Your claim: "Pew Research Center: 83% of U.S. adults favor requiring

    The fact: Per Pew Research, 83% of US adults favor expanded early
    voting and vote by mail.

    Approval if voter ID is not the same as approval of early voting.

    You lied.

    What's even stranger is that they'll waste hours of reading/posting
    time arguing that they're right rather than taking a minute or even
    two to copy and paste the URL to their information source.

    But, their most destructive behavior is doubling down on lies and disinformation even after proof of their lies is shown.

    Serious question, are you fuckin' retarded?

    Your claim: "Pew Research Center: 83% of U.S. adults favor requiring
    all voters to show government-issued photo identification to vote"

    The fact: Per Pew Research, 83% of US adults favor expanded early
    voting and vote by mail.

    Approval if voter ID is not the same as approval of early voting.

    You lied.

    You didn't read the article, did you?


    Gallup: https://news.gallup.com/poll/652523/americans-endorse-early-
    voting-voter-verification.aspx

    https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/
    monmouthpoll_us_062121/ (older, but confirmed by the above).

    Here are more:

    CBS News/YouGov (multiple recent surveys, e.g., March 2026 and July
    2026): Around 77rCo80% favored requiring valid photo ID to vote (20rCo23% >>>> opposed). https://www.cbsnews.com/news/voting-process-photo-id-opinion-poll/

    This is better support for yours and poohead's claims.

    Fox News Poll (July 2026): 77% of registered voters favored requiring
    photo identification to cast a ballot, and 83% favored it for
    registering to vote. Support has stayed consistently in the 77rCo85%
    range in Fox polling for years. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-
    news- poll-significant-support-both-voter-id-laws-mail-in-ballots.
    Yeah I know...but but but Fox.

    Reuters/Ipsos (April 2026) 77% support voter ID laws.
    Slightly below the 80% threshold, but still demonstrates broad
    bipartisan support. https://www.reuters.com/world/trumps-election-

    You may now begin with the "yeah, buts...."


    As to all the rest above, your credibility is out the window, so I'm not >>> going to investigate further.

    Well, everytime I have voted in various states, I had to show ID.
    What you're doing is conflating ID to vote versus ID to *register*
    to vote.

    No, I posted polling results about "ID to vote" whereas you are the one
    conflating it with *registration*.

    You "posted" something you wrote up. You have yet to substantiate
    those numbers.

    Already posted. I'm not multi-posting the same things because you're too >stupid to find it.

    Boo fucking hoo. You hadn't posted them when I wrote the above but
    you have posted them since. Found it, already discussing it but am disappointed that you're twisting and spinning irrelevancies instead
    of holding honest discussions.

    Doesn't change the fact that poohead's numbers are made up bullshit.
    Pew Research Center: 83% of U.S. adults favor requiring all voters to
    show government-issued photo identification to vote, compared to 16%
    opposed.
    Gallup: 84% support requiring photo identification at the voting place.
    Monmouth University: 80% support requiring photo ID to cast a ballot,
    with 18% opposed.

    More made up bullshit. Where are your links? Where are the national
    surveys?

    See other post.

    I already have so your reply here is a waste.

    And before you start making your excuses, I don't have a problem with
    presenting ID to vote. I, personally, find it more convenient than
    looking for my voter registration every election day. But unlike
    Republicans who cheat at the polls every chance they get, I don't
    perceive any significant voter cheating that requires any major
    changes in the way voting is handled.

    Talk about made up bullshit.

    It's not made up at all. It's a fact certified by the Voter Fraud
    Database at Heritage. Do some digging, I dare you. You'll find
    Republicans more often engaging in vote fraud than anybody else which
    is why Heritage no longer plays up that database. Turns out it didn't
    yield the data they had hoped for.

    Worse, while the occasional Democrat shows up for felon or duplicate
    voting, the number of Republican *officials* caught cheating is a
    revelation!

    Consider this example: "Cheryl Hall, a Republican and supporter of
    President Donald Trump, falsely submitted at least voter registrations
    in which she altered the party affiliation from Democrat to either
    Republican or no party affiliation in connection with the 2020
    presidential primary election. The discrepancy with the voter
    registration forms was discovered by a county election supervisor
    noticed that several of the forms had identical handwriting; several
    of the voters also complained to the Supervisor of Elections that
    their party affiliation had been changed without their consent. Hall
    pleaded no contest to 10 felony charges of submitting false voter
    registration information and was sentenced to 1 year of supervised
    release and fined $723."


    Locally, there were half a dozen cases of Republicans in the Villages
    voting twice in 2024 alone; by mail at their home address and at the
    polls while wintering in Florida yet none of these are listed in the
    database!

    Check your state here: https://electionfraud.heritage.org/search

    Checking my state (Florida) for all case types and all categories, the
    Heritage Vote Fraud Database lists only one fraudulent vote case for
    2025. There are only five incidents listed for 2024. 14 for 2023 and
    so on.

    Iow, vote fraud of any kind is quite rare.

    Florida's cases are mostly felon voting. Florida passed legislation
    expanding felon voting but there was a great deal of confusion.
    Probation officers told felons they were cleared to vote when they
    weren't. In other cases, state sponsored registration drives for ex
    cons drove the numbers. What I don't understand is why the state was
    unable to check those registrations before issuing a card to the
    voter.

    Many of these felons had their registrations falsely accepted. Iow,
    in MOST felon voting cases, it wasn't actually the felon's fault.

    But to claim 90% support for *anything* sounds a lot like an election
    in Russia.
    Cite right here where I claimed 90% support =====>

    Pothead did and it was pothead's numbers that kicked off this topic.

    Please try to remember you're not the only person posting to the
    thread and making claims.

    Oh, btw, and federal regulation of voting would violate the
    Constitution. Managing the vote is, per the Constitution, left to the
    states.

    That falsity is a broad claim that can be a whole new thread on its own.

    What falsity?

    Nope, I was right.

    You're both right. It *does* disproportionate disadvantage certain
    impoverished citizens BUT ...

    "Just let me repeat here ... This is the 21st century. There is NO
    EXCUSE for not having valid state or federal photo ID. If, in this
    century, one is unable or unwilling to do that one, simple,
    fundamental task of existence, one certainly does not need to be
    voting."

    Again, if you can't manage the basic task of maintaining valid photo
    ID, you have no business voting.

    If so, there has to be a plan to ensure everyone can obtain the
    necessary ID - without that, it's voter suppression.

    But for rare cases, getting that ID is very doable. Yes, there has
    been some suppression by means of, for example, closing ID offices or
    running them at extremely strange hours. Another example occurs when
    a DL office for an entire county is only open from 10am to 2pm on
    alternate Tuesdays. Alabama did exactly this sort of thing after the
    2020 election. They closed dozens of state offices and ran extremely
    limited hours in dozens of rural counties where black populations were
    high.

    But that said, it still can be done and needs to be done only once
    every 4-8 years, depending on your state.

    I have two certified copies of my birth certificate. The second is
    because the first is so old and faded.

    In both cases, I sent to my birth state a request by mail with my
    birth time and place as well as the name of my pediatrician.

    That seemed to be enough because that and six bucks got me my copy in
    the mail within a month.

    Nope, I was right.

    You're both right. It *does* disproportionate disadvantage certain
    impoverished citizens BUT ...

    "Just let me repeat here ... This is the 21st century. There is NO
    EXCUSE for not having valid state or federal photo ID. If, in this
    century, one is unable or unwilling to do that one, simple,
    fundamental task of existence, one certainly does not need to be
    voting."

    Again, if you can't manage the basic task of maintaining valid photo
    ID, you have no business voting.

    If so, there has to be a plan to ensure everyone can obtain the
    necessary ID - without that, it's voter suppression.

    But for rare cases, getting that ID is very doable. Yes, there has
    been some suppression by means of, for example, closing ID offices or
    running them at extremely strange hours. Another example occurs when
    a DL office for an entire county is only open from 10am to 2pm on
    alternate Tuesdays. Alabama did exactly this sort of thing after the
    2020 election. They closed dozens of state offices and ran extremely
    limited hours in dozens of rural counties where black populations were
    high.

    But that said, it still can be done and needs to be done only once
    every 4-8 years, depending on your state.


    I will not budge an inch until they make obtaining ID realistically
    feasible for any and every voter. Voter ID has merit in theory but in practice it's disenfranchisement without a plan to give everyone the
    needed ID.

    Well, everytime I have voted in various states, I had to show ID.
    What you're doing is conflating ID to vote versus ID to *register*
    to vote.

    No, I posted polling results about "ID to vote" whereas you are the one >>> conflating it with *registration*.

    You "posted" something you wrote up. You have yet to substantiate
    those numbers.

    Already posted. I'm not multi-posting the same things because you're too >stupid to find it.

    Boo fucking hoo. You hadn't posted them when I wrote the above but

    If you were a competent poster, you would've provided the links in the
    very first post - the governor is correct, as was myself.

    You got slapped. It's that simple.

    Voter ID is an 80/20, some say 90/10 issue, across party lines, so it's intriguing as to why the

    You haven't cited shit. Stop lying. Produce your source for those
    numbers or STFU.

    Btw, according to Pew, most Americans support expanded early voting,
    voting by mail and voter ID.
    "58% favor allowing voters to cast their ballots by mail, but support
    remains much lower among Republicans than Democrats"
    <https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/08/22/majority-of-americans-continue-to-back-expanded-early-voting-voting-by-mail-voter-id/>

    See how that works Mr Cancer Stick? After you make a claim you post
    your credible source for it.

    Already posted. I'm going to sit back and watch you chase around like a >chicken with your head cut off trying to find that which is right in
    front of you.

    And it only took three days of flaming and shaming you to get you to
    FINALLY post your sources. Something you could have done days ago and avoided MUCH argument.

    And since his cites made you look stupid you can't refute them. You lost this. --

    social services - you need an ID. This silly argument that it's too hard
    just does not wash.

    Nope, I was right.

    You're both right. It *does* disproportionate disadvantage certain
    impoverished citizens BUT ...

    "Just let me repeat here ... This is the 21st century. There is NO
    EXCUSE for not having valid state or federal photo ID. If, in this
    century, one is unable or unwilling to do that one, simple,
    fundamental task of existence, one certainly does not need to be
    voting."

    Again, if you can't manage the basic task of maintaining valid photo
    ID, you have no business voting.

    If so, there has to be a plan to ensure everyone can obtain the
    necessary ID - without that, it's voter suppression.

    But for rare cases, getting that ID is very doable. Yes, there has
    been some suppression by means of, for example, closing ID offices or running them at extremely strange hours. Another example occurs when
    a DL office for an entire county is only open from 10am to 2pm on
    alternate Tuesdays. Alabama did exactly this sort of thing after the
    2020 election. They closed dozens of state offices and ran extremely limited hours in dozens of rural counties where black populations were high.

    But that said, it still can be done and needs to be done only once
    every 4-8 years, depending on your state.


    I will not budge an inch until they make obtaining ID realistically
    feasible for any and every voter. Voter ID has merit in theory but in practice it's disenfranchisement without a plan to give everyone the
    needed ID.

    What you mean is if you don't bother to get one you are lazy or don't want to vote.

    Pew, Gallup and Monmouth. Did you even read the post?

    I read the words, I didn't see the evidence.

    Like most liberal posts.

    Keep in mind liberals TEND to focus on evidence and equal rights over the right wing push for feelings and special entitlements.

    We'll keep in mind that pinkies tend to get things ass-backwards.

    vote. Making it so there are not only ID requirements but that not all IDs
    will count. Then they cry that elections are rigged and that they won with NO evidence.

    Approval if voter ID is not the same as approval of early voting.

    And it only too three days of shaming you to get you to do the
    responsible, adult thing and provide us with the sources for the
    numbers you mentioned.

    CBS News/YouGov (multiple recent surveys, e.g., March 2026 and July
    2026): Around 77u80% favored requiring valid photo ID to vote (20u23%
    opposed). https://www.cbsnews.com/news/voting-process-photo-id-opinion-poll/

    Fox News Poll (July 2026): 77% of registered voters favored requiring
    photo identification to cast a ballot, and 83% favored it for
    registering to vote. Support has stayed consistently in the 77u85% range >>> in Fox polling for years.
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-significant-support-both-voter-id-laws-mail-in-ballots.
    Yeah I know...but but but Fox.

    Reuters/Ipsos (April 2026) 77% support voter ID laws.
    Slightly below the 80% threshold, but still demonstrates broad
    bipartisan support.

    You may now begin with the "yeah, buts...."


    These numbers are perfectly acceptable but you would have saved page
    after page of useless flaming over the past three days if you had just
    posted these in the first place instead of arguing that you shouldn't
    have to. Then some discussion could have happened.

    ... three days later and only after being flamed by at least three
    other posters for not having provided them in the first place.

If you have to do any banking, you better have an ID card or it's

    just does not wash.

    Nope, I was right.

    You're both right. It *does* disproportionate disadvantage certain
    impoverished citizens BUT ...

    "Just let me repeat here ... This is the 21st century. There is NO
    EXCUSE for not having valid state or federal photo ID. If, in this
    century, one is unable or unwilling to do that one, simple,
    fundamental task of existence, one certainly does not need to be
    voting."

    Again, if you can't manage the basic task of maintaining valid photo
    ID, you have no business voting.

    If so, there has to be a plan to ensure everyone can obtain the
    necessary ID - without that, it's voter suppression.

    But for rare cases, getting that ID is very doable. Yes, there has
    been some suppression by means of, for example, closing ID offices or
    running them at extremely strange hours. Another example occurs when
    a DL office for an entire county is only open from 10am to 2pm on
    alternate Tuesdays. Alabama did exactly this sort of thing after the
    2020 election. They closed dozens of state offices and ran extremely
    limited hours in dozens of rural counties where black populations were
    high.

    But that said, it still can be done and needs to be done only once
    every 4-8 years, depending on your state.


    I will not budge an inch until they make obtaining ID realistically
    feasible for any and every voter. Voter ID has merit in theory but in >practice it's disenfranchisement without a plan to give everyone the
    needed ID.

    Then budge. Here's how I got a copy of my birth certificate so I
    could get my DL.

    I sent a letter to the appropriate dept of records in my birth state.
    I provided my name, birth date and time, hospital name, pediatrician's
    name, both parents' full names including mom's maiden name.

    I put a check in the envelope, sent it off and within two weeks I had
    a certified, embossed copy of my BC.

    It was easy.

    This is why I have little sympathy for those who whine endlessly about disenfranchisement of voters without ID.

    Your ID is easy to get and if you don't have the knowledge, motivation
    or the wherewithal to get it, we'd be better off if you didn't vote.

    Do those poor and non white people have any ID at all?

    Some do and some do not. Many do BUT the ID is not the "right" one. About
    5-10% of voters do not have IDs that would allow them to vote with these
    laws. Most of those people are poor and non-white, elderly or disabled. It
    also impacts trans folks whom right wingers work to make it so they cannot
    get an ID with their actual gender.,,,

    So they're SOL at Mamdani's Grocery World.

    Given that no ID is required, how do you figure?

    We'll see if and when MamdaniMarts actually open.

    There is no reason to think an ID is required...

    There was because Mamdani and his CFO discussed it at a press conference.

    "We are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be a sort
    of
    a library card-esque thing, and also we manage who's buying and that is focused
    on everyday New Yorkers," [Jeanny] Pak said.

    ...but even if one eventually is, the current claims are lies.

    Currently.

    .... And of course the homeless often have no address they can use.

    That didn't stop the Democrats from registering them in time for the LA >>>>> primary.

    No reason homeless citizens should not be able to vote. But Republicans do
    not want them to.

    Cite?

    They actively make it harder....

    Again, cite?

    It does not solve any problem (there is no widespread voter fraud) but it
    makes it so the minorities and the poor and the disabled and other at-risk
    populations cannot as easily vote.

    If so where and how did
    they get it? you are saying poor and non white people are lazy?

    No. I am noting you are openly being a white supremacist.

    You ignored this to troll....

    Bullshit Snit. I ignored nothing. My reply was a direct response to your >>> bullshit.

    No, the white supremacist here is you. You assume these poor non-whites are

    to help them.

    "... About 5-10% of voters do not have IDs that would allow them to vote with
    these laws. Most of those people are poor and non-white, elderly or

    This is true. But notice you lie about it and about me instead of talking >> about it.

    No, YOU'RE the one telling lies. Here's the proposed act. Tell me how this would

    https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/volume-172/issue-29/house-section/article/H2138-1

    You feel the need to lie and troll instead of talking about the topics.

    YOU'RE posting this to talk.politics.GUNS. YOU are the liar and YOU are the troll here.

    Notice you lash out... arguing against facts.

    It is simply factual that Republicans are working to stop US citizens from voting. Gerrymandering. Making mail in voting harder. Taking citizens off lists. Making it so poor people have to travel further and wait longer to vote. Making it so there are not only ID requirements but that not all IDs will count. Then they cry that elections are rigged and that they won with NO evidence.

    They fear the will of the people.

    You have no argument. You know this.

    Then budge. Here's how I got a copy of my birth certificate so I
    could get my DL.

    I sent a letter to the appropriate dept of records in my birth state.
    I provided my name, birth date and time, hospital name, pediatrician's name, both parents' full names including mom's maiden name.

    I put a check in the envelope, sent it off and within two weeks I had
    a certified, embossed copy of my BC.

    It was easy.

    This is why I have little sympathy for those who whine endlessly about disenfranchisement of voters without ID.

    Your ID is easy to get and if you don't have the knowledge, motivation
    or the wherewithal to get it, we'd be better off if you didn't vote.


    Show me where any Republican has even mentioned an innovative way to
    expand access to the kind of ID required. It's nonexistent. SAVE is
    saving them from losing the 2026 and 2028 elections, not democracy, it's
    the end of democracy.

    Well maybe they were right when they said you are to stupid to figure it out. --

    I had shit stole from my house a few years ago. My birth cert included. I was able to go online and follow directions and had a hard copy in the mail a week later.

    And click the link. Read the bill. Educate yourself.


    Where does it spell out how to give everyone the needed ID?

    They don't "give" the ID. You go get it. It's not that hard. How did they get a

    It's called, "VETERANS ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACT OF 2025"
    and the Socialist, lazy as he is, couldn't be bothered to point to
    anything relevant in the document or refer in any way to how the
    document affects the conversation.

    S. 1383
    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
    the United States of America in Congress assembled,
    SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Safeguard American Voter
    Eligibility Act'' or the ``SAVE America Act''.
    Thanks for playing. Better luck next time.

    You can't point to the specific either. I'm not surprised. Partisans
    have a nasty habit of taking things on faith depending on what they're
    told to believe.

    Try again to show us in that document what provisions have been made
    to ensure prospective voters have access to get their ID.

    Then budge. Here's how I got a copy of my birth certificate so I
    could get my DL.
    I sent a letter to the appropriate dept of records in my birth state.
    I provided my name, birth date and time, hospital name, pediatrician's
    name, both parents' full names including mom's maiden name.
    I put a check in the envelope, sent it off and within two weeks I had
    a certified, embossed copy of my BC.
    It was easy.
    This is why I have little sympathy for those who whine endlessly about
    disenfranchisement of voters without ID.
    Your ID is easy to get and if you don't have the knowledge, motivation
    or the wherewithal to get it, we'd be better off if you didn't vote.

    Show me where any Republican has even mentioned an innovative way to
    expand access to the kind of ID required. It's nonexistent. SAVE is
    saving them from losing the 2026 and 2028 elections, not democracy, it's
    the end of democracy.

    It's not the end of democracy. Don't be so dramatic.

    The point both sides are missing in this argument is as I wrote
    before, people who do not maintain ID are not, as a group, people I
    would trust with the vote.

    When Real ID became required, here, and I

    I don't have a passport and haven't had a draft card for some fifty
    years.


    That'd make you at the least pushing 70.

    I'm well past that milestone.

    In another globally witnessed humiliation, he was roundly snubbed at

    Long ago, another agreement signed in Versailles failed horribly..

    WOW, you still have your draft card?

    I haven't seen mine in 50 years....

    Registration is still required.

    As far as birth certificates... not everyone has one. Not everyone can easily
    get one.


    Bullshit.

    I had troubles getting mine... and others have a much harder time than I did.
    Well, I had one, but it was not properly stamped so I had to get another as an
    adult.

    I had shit stole from my house a few years ago. My birth cert included. I was able to go online and follow directions and had a hard copy in the mail a week
    later.

    And? Are you suggesting this is a universal experience?

    So they're SOL at Mamdani's Grocery World.

    Given that no ID is required, how do you figure?

    We'll see if and when MamdaniMarts actually open.

    There is no reason to think an ID is required...

    There was because Mamdani and his CFO discussed it at a press conference.

    "We are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be a sort
    of a library card-esque thing, and also we manage who's buying and that is >>> focused on everyday New Yorkers," [Jeanny] Pak said.



    [crickets]

    And? No evidence of IDs. What is your point?




    ...but even if one eventually is, the current claims are lies.

    Currently.

    .... And of course the homeless often have no address they can use.

    That didn't stop the Democrats from registering them in time for the LA >>>>>>> primary.

    No reason homeless citizens should not be able to vote. But Republicans do
    not want them to.

    They actively make it harder....

    If so where and how did

    [crickets]

    The stats are already stated above.



    You feel the need to lie and troll instead of talking about the topics.

    YOU'RE posting this to talk.politics.GUNS. YOU are the liar and YOU are the >>> troll here.

    Notice you lash out... arguing against facts.


    You ignored this to troll.

    The FACT is you're trolling in tpg.

    It is simply factual that Republicans are working to stop US citizens from >> voting....

    Then you should have no trouble providing links to verifiable sources to support
    your claims.

    I noted the evidence. We can go through each one and show examples. But it is simple a fact that Republicans are afraid of the voice of the people. They
    push gerrymandering to an extreme, they work to make mail in voting heard,
    they take citizens of lists, they make it so the poor have to travel and wait in lines they push ID requirements which solve no actual problem but reduce voting numbers, they do not even allow all IDs when they do this, they make up stories of elections being rigged, they close polling places, they cut early voting hours, remove voting drop boxes, work to make it harder to have
    absentee ballots collected, make it harder to get registered, reduce voting drives, push to have partisan controlled parties run elections, work to make
    it harder for students to vote, etc.

    These are facts. Does not mean the Democrats are perfect -- they are not --
    but the difference is night and day.

    Add to this, of course, even when people are elected they get most of their funding from the very rich -- and that is why they serve.

    You can cry and deny and run and make accusations and more... but you cannot change these facts.

    Bullshit.

    I had troubles getting mine... and others have a much harder time than I did.
    Well, I had one, but it was not properly stamped so I had to get another as an
    adult.

    I had shit stole from my house a few years ago. My birth cert included. I was

    Brock has no issues applying for disability, SNAP and other government programs he is scamming so a voter ID should be trivial for people like himself.

    Nah, that's just your breath.

    Doesn't change the fact that poohead's numbers are made up bullshit.

    Pew Research Center: 83% of U.S. adults favor requiring all voters to

    Gallup: 84% support requiring photo identification at the voting place.

    Monmouth University: 80% support requiring photo ID to cast a ballot,

    Evidence?

    Pew, Gallup and Monmouth. Did you even read the post?

    I read the words, I didn't see the evidence.

    Like most liberal posts.

    Keep in mind liberals TEND to focus on evidence and equal rights over the
    right wing push for feelings and special entitlements.

    We'll keep in mind that pinkies tend to get things ass-backwards.

    Meanwhile we have a fascist oligarch pushing echoes of Nazi Germany in power

    Who's name-calling now?

    I am noting a fact. There is no name calling there. MAGA is a fascist
    organization. That is a fact. The US is more of an oligarchy than a democracy
    / representative government. Simple a fact. We are seeing echoes of Nazi
    Germany... absolutely (though the Nazis looking to the US for much of what >> they did, so not 100% fair, but many do not know that history so I
    simplified).

    You ignored this to troll.

    Still name calling.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pothead's posts echo white-supremacist rhetoric point for point. She may not call herself that, but her language repeats the same themes found in "Great Replacement" and ethnonationalist propaganda. A few examples:

    Quote: "There is no number. Come one, come all. Criminals, terrorists, mental patients etc."
    Dehumanizing immigrants, treating them as a criminal horde. This framing is identical to "invasion" propaganda used by white-nationalist groups. https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-great-replacement-theory-and-how-does-it-fuel-racist-violence

    Quote: "They want to destroy the country so they can rebuild with a global socialism means. They want to flood the country with people who will settle in blue areas and ... gain control."
    "Flooding" language is lifted straight from the Great Replacement conspiracy theory--the claim that elites import non-white immigrants to outnumber whites politically. https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-great-replacement-theory-and-how-does-it-fuel-racist-violence
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement_conspiracy_theory

    Quote: "Do it legally and you are welcomed." / "They came here illegally, they are criminals."
    Boundary-drawing rhetoric used by organized nativist networks to equate illegality with moral corruption and inferiority. See SPLC on FAIR and other restrictionist groups. https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/federation-american-immigration-reform
    https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/john-tanton

    Quote: "Trump is going after these lazy grifters" / "a LOT of people gaming
    the system..."
    Echoes the "welfare leech" trope. That stereotype has long been used to racialize poverty and build resentment against immigrants and minorities. https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-tucker-carlson-jonathan-greenblatt-immigration-3ef70ca8eff84dd2c424288be1cc2f48
    https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer

    Quote: "Why are my tax dollars funding this?"
    Classic "resource theft" framing--portraying minorities and immigrants as parasites stealing from "real" citizens. https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/john-tanton https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer

    Each of these aligns directly with extremist talking points documented by anti-hate researchers. Together they form the same structure: immigrants as invaders, elites as traitors, "real" citizens as victims. That's white-supremacist rhetoric whether she admits it or not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Have you actually taken a look at those links you keep posting?
    I have.
    So have others.

    They have NOTHING to do with PotHead being a white supremacist.
    Not a single one does.

    So the next question is, what the fuck is wrong with yoy Brock McNuggets?
    Do you actually believe that others are not going to at least sample the
    links you post?
    If you do, that means you are either stupid, crazy, retarded or all of
    the above.
    You are truly a misinformed, poorly educated buffoon and you seem to be willing to prove it daily which is yet another problem you have.

    I have not witnessed white supremacist posts made by PotHead nor have I witnessed him attacking you simply because you are Jewish.
    If you have actual, specific posts please do post them but if all you
    have is "this is a phrase whie supremacists use" rhetoric give up because
    your evidence in no way supports your claims.

    It's all on you now bubala.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Safeguard American Voter
    Eligibility Act'' or the ``SAVE America Act''.
    Thanks for playing. Better luck next time.

    You can't point to the specific either. I'm not surprised. Partisans
    have a nasty habit of taking things on faith depending on what they're

    Try again to show us in that document what provisions have been made

    What falsity?

    <crickets>

    This falsity. While state governments do handle the day-to-day
    administration of elections, the U.S. Constitution explicitly grants the federal government significant power to regulate voting. Federal
    regulation of voting does not automatically violate the Constitution.
    The U.S. Constitution establishes a shared authority model where states administer elections, but Congress holds override authority and
    Constitutional enforcement powers. See The Elections Clause (Article I, Section 4, Clause 1), the primary authority governing federal elections.

    States set the "Times, Places and Manner" of holding elections for
    Senators and Representatives. But the exact same clause states that
    "Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations." The
    U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that Congress has ultimate "override authority" over federal election procedures.

    Enforcement of Voting Amendments (14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th). The Constitution grants Congress explicit authority to pass federal
    legislation overriding state voting laws to protect voting rights. For example:

    15th Amendment: Prohibits voting discrimination based on race.

    19th Amendment: Protects voting rights based on sex.

    24th Amendment: Bans poll taxes.

    26th Amendment: Lowers the voting age to 18.

    Each of these amendments includes an enforcement clause explicitly
    granting Congress the power to enforce them through "appropriate
    legislation".

    Major Examples of Federal Voting Regulations
    Throughout U.S. history, Congress has used its constitutional authority
    to pass sweeping federal regulations over voting:

    The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA): Outlawed discriminatory voting
    practices (like literacy tests) enforced by state governments.

    The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ("Motor Voter"): Mandated
    that state governments offer voter registration opportunities at
    driver's license offices and via mail.

    The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA): Imposed federal standards on
    state voting systems, provisional voting, and voter registration databases.

    Federal Election Day: Congress passed a uniform federal law establishing
    that federal elections occur on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. States do not have the constitutional authority to change this
    date for federal races.

    Pretty sure this is the part where you push the goalposts.

    Your ID is easy to get and if you don't have the knowledge, motivation

    Show me where any Republican has even mentioned an innovative way to

    It's not the end of democracy. Don't be so dramatic.

    The point both sides are missing in this argument is as I wrote

    Leftists keep outwitting Trump and stealing all the elections.


    Trump Promised Proof of Election Tampering. His Document Release Fell Far Short. Why is it that only elections held under Trump's administration
    get stolen? Is Trump fucking stupid or something?

    In the end, the documentary evidence that President Trump claimed would
    prove his case appeared bound to disappoint those who expected bombshell revelations.

    David E. Sanger has written extensively over the past 15 years about the
    use of cyber techniques by nations to undermine the power and confidence of their adversaries. Dustin Volz has covered election security for a decade.

    For years, President Trump has offered a hodgepodge of conspiracy theories
    and baseless charges to support his falsehood that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and that AmericaAs election system was hijacked by a combination of outside powers and odeep stateo insiders.

    But when he declassified a raft of intelligence reports, hastily drafted emails between officials at the F.B.I. and other agencies, and formal oassessmentso late Thursday, he was unable to prove his case.

    An examination of the more than 270 pages of evidence released by the White House supports the broad conclusions already announced in 2020 and 2021, albeit with some finer details. For example, China considered modest
    attempts to influence opinion in the United States, and downloaded publicly available voter rolls from several states, but never manipulated a single voting machine or ballot.

    Even new assertions, such as a document from the Department of Homeland Security claiming to have found more than 250,000 noncitizens registered in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania, came devoid of supporting evidence and immediately was met with pushback from state officials.

    In the end, the documentary evidence that Mr. Trump promised appeared bound
    to disappoint those who expected bombshell revelations, not unlike the PentagonAs release of onever-before-seeno reports of unidentified flying objects and the last government documents about the Kennedy assassination.

    Still, the trove was completely consistent with the recollections of the nationAs intelligence leadership at the time. oThere were certainly nations that wanted to influence parts of the election,o said Timothy Haugh, a
    retired four-star general who was deeply involved in the efforts by intelligence agencies to secure elections from 2018 through 2024. (He was fired last year by Mr. Trump, for unspecified reasons, as the director of
    the National Security Agency and the commander of United States Cyber Command.)

    But, he added at the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday afternoon, just hours before the documents were released, owe had no areas that brought us to a concern of an impacto on voting results. The newly released documents
    affirmed that, as countless investigations, state audits and lawsuits had already firmly established.

    Even Mr. Trump, in his 25-minute address to the nation, did not argue that
    the documents proved he won the election. The closest he came was when he
    said oour elections were left vulnerable, to being rigged and stolen, and
    the trust of the American people was lost,o lines that have already become
    a common refrain on the campaign trail and in conversations with reporters.

    He did argue that those ovulnerabilitieso needed to be patched, a point
    that election experts have made for years. But it runs contrary to his actions: Fixing the holes in the system, and testing election machines, is exactly what the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency was
    doing, before he eviscerated it last year and referred its former director, Christopher Krebs, who had declared the 2020 election secure, to the
    Justice Department for investigation. No charges have been filed.

    That was only the beginning of the contradictions in Mr. TrumpAs effort to make his case. The reports he personally declassified u some on July 3,
    just before he led some of the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence u are laced with references to RussiaAs efforts to influence voters, too. But Mr. Trump only mentioned
    Russia once during his speech, and then in passing, quoting an intelligence assessment.

    His description of ChinaAs efforts to obtain information about voters
    omitted the fact that most of the data was publicly available, sometimes
    for a fee. In short, it did not appear that the Chinese had infiltrated the voting databases the way they have hacked AmericaAs telecom networks, its defense industrial base or its power grid.

    And in giving the speech, Mr. Trump had to navigate one inconvenient
    element of the evidence: Many of the documents he published, especially
    about China, were compiled during his first term. That raised the question
    of why he did not act then.

    His answer was that the intelligence briefers deprived him of key
    information.

    oEverything was kept out that was of importance,o he argued, citing one
    email that referred to how information for the presidential daily brief was odeliberately massaged.o What he failed to mention was that at the time
    that memo was written, his director of national intelligence was John Ratcliffe, who served in the post from May 2020 through the end of Mr.
    TrumpAs first term in January 2021. He is now his C.I.A. chief.

    Mr. Ratcliffe was not among the cabinet members and aides who sat quietly
    in the East Room as Mr. Trump addressed the nation, according to a White
    House pool report.

    But the trove of documents released by the administration offered a much fuller u though still incomplete, because of heavy redactions u picture
    than has previously been available about ChinaAs long-running efforts to understand, and potentially try to influence, voters with propaganda. One newly released C.I.A. document was titled oSensitive PRC reporting from 2018-2020,o suggesting it may have been written after President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021. (The date of the document
    appears to have been redacted.)

    oIn mid 2018 the Chinese Communist PartyAs policy was to leverage all
    domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. president,o it reads, oin an effort to reduce the U.S. presidentAs votes and make him
    resign or prevent his re-election.o

    Mr. TrumpAs release of the document appears to signal he believes that
    effort may still be underway. It was only in May, visiting Beijing, that
    Mr. Trump referred to China as a partner, talked about it in far more
    glowing terms than he does European allies, and told President Xi Jinping
    that the two superpowers would have a ofantastic future together.o

    David E. Sanger covers the Trump administration and a range of national security issues. He has been a Times journalist for more than four decades
    and has written four books on foreign policy and national security
    challenges.

    Dustin Volz writes about cybersecurity and intelligence for The Times. He
    is based in Washington.

    Federal

    The U.S. Constitution establishes a shared authority model where states >administer elections, but Congress holds override authority and >Constitutional enforcement powers. See The Elections Clause (Article I, >Section 4, Clause 1), the primary authority governing federal elections.

    I am right and you are wrong.

    States set the "Times, Places and Manner" of holding elections for
    Senators and Representatives.

    That was changed by the 17th Amendment.

    But the exact same clause states that
    "Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations." The
    U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that Congress has ultimate >"override authority" over federal election procedures.

    Iow, Congress has the power to legislate voting regulations but does
    not actually run elections.

    Each of these amendments includes an enforcement clause explicitly

    Major Examples of Federal Voting Regulations

    The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ("Motor Voter"): Mandated
    that state governments offer voter registration opportunities at
    driver's license offices and via mail.

    The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA): Imposed federal standards on
    state voting systems, provisional voting, and voter registration databases.

    Federal Election Day: Congress passed a uniform federal law establishing >that federal elections occur on the Tuesday after the first Monday in >November. States do not have the constitutional authority to change this >date for federal races.

    Pretty sure this is the part where you push the goalposts.

    More likely we're talking about two different things. The
    Constitution provides some guidelines and regulations but does not
    allow the federal government to actually run or conduct elections.

    This falsity. While state governments do handle the day-to-day
    administration of elections, the U.S. Constitution explicitly grants the
    federal government significant power to regulate voting.

    Prove it. Article and Section, please.

    You asked for Article and Section, got Article I, Section 4.


    Federal
    regulation of voting does not automatically violate the Constitution.
    The U.S. Constitution establishes a shared authority model where states
    administer elections, but Congress holds override authority and
    Constitutional enforcement powers. See The Elections Clause (Article I,
    Section 4, Clause 1), the primary authority governing federal elections.

    I am right and you are wrong.

    Compelling legal argument. Unfortunately for you, Article I, Section 4
    of the U.S. Constitution still exists whether you agree with it or not.


    States set the "Times, Places and Manner" of holding elections for
    Senators and Representatives.

    That was changed by the 17th Amendment.

    The 17th Amendment only changed how Senators are electedrCoswitching from selection by state legislatures to a direct popular vote by the people.
    It did not repeal, alter, or remove the Elections Clause (Article I,
    Section 4, Clause 1). CongressrCOs constitutional authority to make or
    alter time, place, and manner regulations for congressional elections
    remains 100% intact.


    But the exact same clause states that
    "Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations." The
    U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that Congress has ultimate
    "override authority" over federal election procedures.

    Iow, Congress has the power to legislate voting regulations but does
    not actually run elections.

    That is literally the exact point I made in my opening response: 'While
    state governments do handle the day-to-day administration of elections,
    the U.S. Constitution explicitly grants the federal government
    significant power to regulate voting.' You argued that federal
    regulation was a 'falsity.' Now you're admitting Congress does have the
    power to legislate voting regulations. Thanks for agreeing with my
    actual premise.

    Enforcement of Voting Amendments (14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th). The
    Constitution grants Congress explicit authority to pass federal
    legislation overriding state voting laws to protect voting rights. For
    example:

    15th Amendment: Prohibits voting discrimination based on race.

    19th Amendment: Protects voting rights based on sex.

    24th Amendment: Bans poll taxes.

    26th Amendment: Lowers the voting age to 18.

    Each of these amendments includes an enforcement clause explicitly
    granting Congress the power to enforce them through "appropriate
    legislation".

    Major Examples of Federal Voting Regulations
    Throughout U.S. history, Congress has used its constitutional authority
    to pass sweeping federal regulations over voting:

    The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA): Outlawed discriminatory voting
    practices (like literacy tests) enforced by state governments.

    The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ("Motor Voter"): Mandated
    that state governments offer voter registration opportunities at
    driver's license offices and via mail.

    The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA): Imposed federal standards on
    state voting systems, provisional voting, and voter registration databases. >>
    Federal Election Day: Congress passed a uniform federal law establishing
    that federal elections occur on the Tuesday after the first Monday in
    November. States do not have the constitutional authority to change this
    date for federal races.

    Pretty sure this is the part where you push the goalposts.

    More likely we're talking about two different things. The
    Constitution provides some guidelines and regulations but does not
    allow the federal government to actually run or conduct elections.

    We aren't talking about two different thingsrCoyou just moved the
    goalposts exactly like predicted. No one ever claimed the federal
    government sets up polling booths, prints ballots, or hires precinct
    poll workers. State administration under federal regulatory oversight is
    the core definition of the shared authority model.

    When Congress mandates uniform Federal Election Days, bans literacy
    tests via the Voting Rights Act, forces states to offer voter
    registration at the BMV via Motor Voter, or mandates electronic voting equipment standards via HAVA, the federal government is exercising
    supreme regulatory control over how states conduct those elections. You
    asked for the constitutional basis for federal regulation, you got the Articles, Sections, and Amendments, and now you're trying to redefine 'regulation' as 'physically managing the polling place.'

    Talk about moving the goalposts in real time! You literally demanded
    'Article and Section, please' when I said the federal government can
    regulate elections. I gave them to you, and now you're claiming you
    'always knew' federal guidelines existed and pivoting to Donald Trump.
    You went from 'federal regulation is a falsity' and demanding 'Article
    and Section' to 'well, of course there are federal inputs and
    guidelines, but...'

    You didn't start this debate talking about Donald Trump or voter
    rollsrCoyou claimed the federal government had no constitutional authority
    to regulate elections. Now that the Constitution proved otherwise,
    you're trying to pretend you were talking about executive oversight of
    voter rolls the whole time.

    A president demanding state voter rolls is a separation-of-powers debate regarding the Executive Branch, not a constitutional limitation on the
    Federal Government's authority to regulate elections. Conflating the two doesn't change the fact that your initial constitutional argument was
    dead wrong.

    You really think voter ID is about stopping that?

    I think *not* requiring it is about *enabling* that.

    And yes, I think voter ID laws would stop at least some of that
    potential abuse *if* it were happening, which we both know really
    isn't no matter what whining the GOP does.


    So it isn't happening but it needs to be stopped?

    Bullshit.

    Well, I had one, but it was not properly stamped so I had to get another as an

    I had shit stole from my house a few years ago. My birth cert included. I was

    Bullshit.

    I had troubles getting mine... and others have a much harder time than I did.
    Well, I had one, but it was not properly stamped so I had to get another as an
    adult.

    I had shit stole from my house a few years ago. My birth cert included. I was
    able to go online and follow directions and had a hard copy in the mail a week
    later.

    And? Are you suggesting this is a universal experience?

    You never did answer this question.

    So what?

    You made an assumption you will not be clear with.

    You cannot understand how others might not share your same experiences. And that is quite telling. It is really common with the right wing mindset -- lack of empathy or understanding of how others have different experiences, privileges, etc.

    You may have noticed, while checking in on the G7, that Trump had
    to ask Zelensky for forgiveness and Macron fed him a plate of crow
    by using the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles as the setting for Trump
    to sign his capitulation.

    In another globally witnessed humiliation, he was roundly snubbed at
    a group photo op.

    Long ago, another agreement signed in Versailles failed horribly..

    Without checking every post again (which I'm not going to do) I don't
    think I labeled you any such thing. I did point out that you posted a
    falsity, which you did. That makes you mistaken, not necessarily a liar.

    YourCOre free to stay. IrCOm not the one who shifted from rCLthe Federal Government has no authority to run electionsrCY to complaining about tone
    once the constitutional text was cited. If you want to revisit the constitutional text, IrCOm here. If not, take the ball.

    You ignored this to troll.

    They don't. They show what YOU want to accuse me of because you feel insecure.

    Do better.

    Bullshit.

    I had troubles getting mine... and others have a much harder time than I did.
    Well, I had one, but it was not properly stamped so I had to get another as an
