CURRENT EVENTS July 31-Sept 27

[UNCatTech]

First, I see little to no burden in presenting an ID to vote in an election. We show ID for almost everything we do so why exempt voting? You can't enter a Federal Courthouse without presenting a valid ID and surrendering your phone.

Second, requiring ID adds confidence in voting in elections. You may dismiss the R's concerns in the voting in 2020 but the concerns were real and actually discouraged hundreds of thousands of citizens to not vote in the Senate run off the election in January 2021. Isn't the goal to encourage more, not less, people to vote? Georgia's new voting laws helped re establish confidence in voting in elections - the law has received almost universal praise in the State.

Third, deterrence. Requiring a valid ID will discourage any individuals or groups even thinking about committing voter fraud.

I'm not for making people jump through meaningless hoops just for the fun of it, but I don't think requiring an ID to vote falls into that category.

Do you really see entering a federal courthouse as equal? How often does the average person enter a federal courthouse? What are the risk comparisons? There's a risk and a reason to keep people out of a federal courthouse, not the same as voting.

Stop with the fraud bullshit. You know the probability that any group could create enough fraud to actually influence a national election isn't happening.

ID doesn't add confidence. I had a NC drivers license with the wrong date of birth when I was 19. It wasn't hard to get.

If anyone really cares about ID, there are multiple ways to actually have secure voting and identification. We use these methods every day in our banking industries. It's interesting that the pubs don't mind supposed safe guards that make it harder to vote, but they are against any means to make our voting system safer, more secure, and EASIER to vote.

For those who missed this earlier

 

[UNCatTech]

There are countries who make voting a requirement or face a fine.

Yep, I was talking to a couple from Australia and they were telling me about their system, sounded Marvelous(in my best drag queen voice).

“… The White House said that, as part of the deal, the US will also help build a major transit corridor that will be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.

The route will connect Azerbaijan and its autonomous Nakhchivan exclave, which are separated by Armenian territory. In the past, Aliyev has demanded that Armenia give his country a railroad corridor to Nakhichevan.

Armenia wanted to have control of the road and the Azerbaijani leader has in the past threatened to take the corridor by force. The issue has halted and stalled previous peace negotiations.

Both leaders praised Trump and his team throughout the meeting "President Trump in six months did a miracle," Aliyev said.…”

So many policies that are only presented by the party not in power...

Cant he just form a PAC?

Bullshit. If people want to vote they will find a way. The insistence that any effort at all required = disenfranchisement is just an excuse. The cost of an ID has been addressed. Again, the biggest disenfranchisement in history occurred in the last election.

What a joke. You keep ignoring the numbers that would be needed to actually change the outcome of a national election.

It would take millions of people. If there were millions of fraudulent votes it would be caught.

@Callatoroy

Should we require some type of testing to ensure that our public officials are not flat earthers or believe in other fairy tales and myths?

That would seem to be to be much more important than fighting the fake fraud that is never going to make a difference in a national election.

You know, trump looks thinner standing beside that short fat round troll. I guess it's all relative.

 

[dukeman92]

Sorry if that’s already posted somewhere. I just thought our SecDef supporting repealing the 19th amendment was worthy of discussion

 

[UNCatTech]

So @Callatoroy would repealing the 19th amendment reduce fraud? Maybe that's what the pubs should do?

 

[dukeman92]

These MFers are every single horrible thing we warned they would be. This administration is evil.

I am genuinely glad Trump values peace.

But I am also struck that whoever put this meme together has Trump’s signature over the crotch of the Prime Minister of Armenia. Seems poorly conceived, all things considered.

If he truly gave a fuck it would be nice. It's all marketing because he can't be outdone by a black man named Hussein.

That's just his pubic hair.
