(47,675 posts)The issue isn't about how long it takes, or even what it costs. It's just fucking wrong. I've got my voter registration card in my wallet RIGHT NOW! It isn't a photo ID, but I've got it. That should be sufficient. This is all about knocking out Democrats at the polls. It has nothing to do with voter fraud. FUCK! We can't even get 50% of the eligible voters to go to the damn polls in the first place! The primaries are even worse. It's the same small group of us that bother to hit the primaries - every damn year. We need MORE voters, not fewer, but that's not how Corbett's cartel sees it. They're doing everything they can to steal the election for one of the few assholes who's a bigger asshole than Corbett.

(103,856 posts)republicans are running the show, and they get to make the rules.. ONLY throwing them out and changing the rules back to "normal" will FIX it, so until that happens, we HAVE to get these people their damned IDs.
There is not time to wait for lawsuits to handle it..
EVERY day that goes by is a day lost when it comes to getting these people their IDs.
Best case scenario.. MOST get IDs, and when dems come back to power, they don't need them anymore.
worst case scenario?
people wring hands & complain, and hundreds of thousands don't get to vote.

(47,675 posts)They tried to get us to show them in the primaries as a "test run". I refused. I'll refuse again and hold up the line if necessary, but without the injunction I'll end up having to show ID. I'm not going to give rMoney an edge to avoid it this time, but I'll make a stink, and a LOUD one.
Now we DO have three clear examples of voter fraud:
1) rMoney voting in MA by claiming he lived in his son's unfinished basement.
2) The Coulterbeast being registered in two different states and voting in the one she didn't live in.
3) That O'Keefe kid fucking with the NH elections.
Curiously, none of those three are Democrats.

(144,908 posts)You can get a "free" Id without a birth certificate and signing a paupers oath. Georgia used to require that you certify that you do not have money for a free id and that law was changed due to a lawsuit by the ACLU http://www.brennancenter.org/content/resource/the_cost_of_voter_id_laws_what_the_courts_say/
