You are very narrow minded.


As stated earlier:

Accord­ing to its own website, the Texas Secret­ary of State’s office has held only one event this year where elec­tion offi­cials have gone into communit­ies to provide free photo IDs to voters that need them, despite a legal require­ment that the state estab­lish a program to do so. Voter Suppression!


Millions of Americans Lack ID. 11% of U.S. citizens – or more than 21 million Americans – do not have government-issued photo identification.

Obtaining ID Costs Money. Even if ID is offered for free, voters must incur numerous costs (such as paying for birth certificates) to apply for a government-issued ID.

Underlying documents required to obtain ID cost money, a significant expense for lower-income Americans. The combined cost of document fees, travel expenses and waiting time are estimated to range from $75 to $175.

The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.

Voter ID Requirements are a Solution in Search of a Problem

In-person fraud is vanishingly rare. A recent study found that, since 2000, there were only 31 credible allegations of voter impersonation – the only type of fraud that photo IDs could prevent – during a period of time in which over 1 billion ballots were cast.

Identified instances of “fraud” are honest mistakes. So-called cases of in-person impersonation voter “fraud” are almost always the product of an elections worker or a voter making an honest mistake, and that even these mistakes are extremely infrequent.

Voter ID laws are a waste of taxpayer dollars. States incur sizeable costs when implementing voter ID laws, including the cost of educating the public, training poll workers, and providing IDs to voters.

Texas spent nearly $2 million on voter education and outreach efforts following passage of its Voter ID law.

Indiana spent over $10 million to produce free ID cards between 2007 and 2010.

And, YOU are one of many who cries about TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT SPENDING?

I even bet that YOU support a national ID card.

That phrase on flagged bumper stickers was aimed at us leftist, anti-"pig", anti-war, anti-racist, pro-Farmworker's union, Berkeley free-speech, pro-women's equality protesters, by the right-wing conservative (Dem/Republican) side. My how things turned out.

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" according to Gil Scott Heron. lol, it was televised on Jan 6th. But it wasn't the radical leftist attacking Washington, it was those same conservative radicals that packed weapons and killed Capitol Police. My how things turned out.

Even I thought my side would be armed to overthrow the gov't. My how things turned out.

If you go back and look I have never claimed voter fraud. I have consistently claimed that the election was stolen by illegal changes in voting rules that governors and secretaries of state did in the name of covid as well as social media that lied about the Hunter Biden lap top. You will not find anything from me about voter fraud other than one or two comments about 2000 Mules.

As for North Dakota. Look at my last statement in the previous post. Voting is the purview of the individual states. So, if North Dakota wants to run things one way and Texas wants to do it a different way, that's up to them. My assertion about voter I.D. has nothing to do with who does what, only that if a state wants to require it they should be allowed to require it, and it is on the individual voter to get the required I.D., not the state.

It's called personal responsibility.

Making it harder for people in poor areas to vote does NOT improve voter integrity, not one bit.

Trying to take control of election outcomes does NOT support your claim.

IF the GOP truly wanted voter integrity, then why don't they do away with the electoral college?


Your comment about the democrats is BS.

If you don't use voter ID then, what exactly do you propose to use to prove you are a legal citizen?

In this year’s elec­tion, Texas voters are facing a new voter iden­ti­fic­a­tion law. For many of them, it’ll mean present­ing one of a short list of photo IDs at the polls before cast­ing a ballot. But voters who face obstacles to obtain­ing one of those photo IDs are still able to vote. Those voters need to present another accept­able docu­ment veri­fy­ing their iden­tity, like a current util­ity bill, and sign a sworn state­ment indic­at­ing the reason that they were unable to obtain one of the accep­ted photo IDs.

Yet, accord­ing to its own website, the Texas Secret­ary of State’s office has held only one event this year where elec­tion offi­cials have gone into communit­ies to provide free photo IDs to voters that need them, despite a legal require­ment that the state estab­lish a program to do so.

As you drive the highways of Houston, you might also have seen a billboard indicating you need a passport in order to vote. That's simply NOT true!

That is NOT trying to establish voting integrity! Just the opposite!
