Your bias is so obvious.
I feel I have to address that statement by you. Perhaps your desire to not have id's is coming through as seeing a bias that doesnt exist.

I am a Democrat in a heavy Democrat area. There isint even the slightest chance of a Republican winning most elections. The local elections are a different thing as local parties run.
If you are assuming that I am against poor people because of my comments on buss loads of people coming in, I will tell you you are wrong. What I am against and what I do have a bias against is cheating and fraud in an area where people tend to ignore it. Things will be done like adding seals to machines and some people high up hate fraud and cheating, but most of the people in the middle ignore it.
I will give an example of a "buss", one that was reported. One I wrote to the media about. But nothing was done or reported. A group of young people. high school age was brought into a polling place I worked at. Most of the people there were high school age. I talked to a few of them commenting on their phones and saying how my daughter sent a lot of text messages. Almost all of them said they sent a lot of texts, one even said they made 5k one month. Each and every one of them when asked to read and sign thier name to the voting application said they couldnt read and needed toe help of "helpers". We were forced to fill out legal forms so the "helpers" could sign the paperwork, every one of them, about 25 in all. The helpers then went and stood behind the people from the buss and pointed to the ballot as it was filled out. We heard "that one" and "no not that one but this one". It was clear they were being told who to vote for.
As they were leaving another election judge went to the bathroom as they left, and came back and said that one of them asked a helper how many other towns they had to go to.

It was reported, we asked how we could stop it. But because they filled out all the forms to help they got away with it.
Did they probably vote Democrat? Yes. Was it wrong and should never happen? Yes. So when you see me argue for ID's remember this post and why I want them. When I mention a "buss" what I mean by it.
