Republicans admit to using voter id laws: link.
Can
you please provide a link from the mainstream media and
not what appears to be
an astroturf site?
Republicans becoming a minority:
link.
All that article is saying is that a previous leader of the
republicans fears that they may be loosing support from
Latino
voters.
Notice both of those links contain actual quotes
from
actual Republicans and consultants to the Republican
Party.
Yes,
but one is from a rather biased site and the other
doesnt say what you think it
does.
If I had one scintilla of interest in pursuing
this dialog I
would ask you for some links of your own.
Are you honestly saying
you dont believe that there is the
possibility of even 1 instance of voter
fraud? Because let
me make this perfectly clear.
If even 1 thats the
number ONE instance of voter fraud or
even the Possibility of one
instance of voter fraud
happening. Its ONE to many and IMHO would make the
requirement of showing id's to vote a realistic response.
An
election can be lost by ONE vote, therefore
ONE instance of fraud is ONE to
many.
I would ask for *actual data* that shows the severity of
the
voter fraud problem.
Thats just it, I dont need data. This
concept seems to
escape you no matter how many times I point it out.
We
should as a country try to eliminate even the
possibility or perception of
voter fraud.
Another concept you keep ignoring is that Even one
instance of fraud is ONE to many Its like the perception
of impropriety in
a court judge. We dont need data to prove
that its happened and we dont want
even the possibility of
it happening again so we stop anything that even looks
like
it. The same can be said of voter fraud.
I would ask for data
that justifies making it
harder for people to exercise their constitutional
rights.
Thats just it. You keep saying its going to make it
harder.
But IMHO its not. We already have registration laws, most
require id
at the time of registering, so people who are
registered already have an id.
This is
just showing an id which almost all people have to function
in our
society. There may be some isolated cases that
someone may have a hardship or
need to get an id. But
there is time to get people id's before the
election. We
need to stop fighting common sense and put our energy
into
getting people id's and at no cost if they are required
to
vote.
That would have been a lot more convincing than
simply
reiterating the same statements and lecturing people.
Thats
because some people have hardened their mind and ears
to common sense because
of some kind of group think IMHO. I
can see I may be arguing against such a
person now.
Therefore I will stop casting my pearls before swine, lest
they
turn and rend me.
Even if you make some other post, you may get the
last word,
but you have not won anything. You have simply gone off into
your
own world on this issue and persist in living in some
alternate reality. One
where id's are not common, where its
a hardship to have what is necessary to
live in this
society. One where the boogie man is out to get you.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
