So's owning and carrying a firearm. That too, requires an ID, and a background check. What's your point?

The question has been answered: Requiring IDs is not racist, because if you need a State ID to vote and don't already have one, you can freely get one specifically to vote.

Anything else, are are we going to drop this completely idiotic talking point?



I've never met a person who cannot get to a DMV but can get to a polling station. Never. Nor have I been to an area where you can get to a polling station but not a DMV.

Let's go with a more ridiculous answer.


Well if you take an argument from the right then yeah, requiring an ID and background check to purchase a firearm isn't constitutional. So therefore you kind of proved my point? How are you going to say background checks and waiting periods on firearm purchases are unconstitutional yet requiring an ID to vote is. Just seems to me like the logic isn't there.

What's even funnier is I am very pro-ID laws. It just so happens that since the Voting Rights Act was destroyed that A LOT of lawsuits have been won against states (like NC) that implemented voter ID laws. The running theme here seems to be that they are directly targeted towards minorities.

Then there's shit like this:

I mean Jesus Christ. How could you even argue that these laws aren't racist in 2020? We have the court cases and evidence to prove they are.

All a "poll watcher" is at this point is any given person who wants to view (and video, if they choose) vote counts, to insure nothing suspect is occurring.
Poll counts are required to be a transparent process, anyone has a right to verify the proceedings.
There's too much reach going on in this thread right now.
"Only racists would ask for ID!"
"Only interlopers want to verify election integrity!"
The level of Duh has gone full out at this point.


So do definitions matter or not? Because poll watchers are specific people appointed by political parties, not random people off the streets.

When it's convenient you decry changing definitions, but when it's not you say "at this point it means X".

We have never allowed random people off the streets to get involved in counting ballots in any function. This is not new, this is not fraud, the counting is already overseen by bipartisan groups appointed by the parties. The only function these fake poll watchers serve is to disrupt the process, which is exactly what Trump wants by his own admission.

Trump prompted a lawsuit in GA about the validity of some absentee ballots in Chatham county and was immediately struck down by a judge.

I see the Demmies are trying out their arguments for the coming court cases. Better prcatice some more. They sound pretty lame so far.

The fun fact is that Trump will have to proof that they cheated.
So really its not about the argument of the 'Demmies'

I can't tell why there is ANYONE in this country that WANTS Biden/Harris in office.
It's almost like they don't think.

But IF Biden does get in... I'm sure they'll realize the error of their ways.


Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to realize the error of THEIR ways, also.


The fact that Biden / Harris is NOT Trump is more than enough for any half-way sane person.

That's a false talking point as well. The Constitution allows for the suspension or removal of rights depending on criminal actions committed. It's perfectly reasonable to require an ID and a NICS background check for the purchase of a firearm, to insure the purchaser IS a citizen able to legally be armed first of all, and second to insure they have not forfeited their right to own. Just as a polling station has every right to require ID to insure the person is indeed a citizen, and has not forfeited their right to vote.

Your arguments are getting weaker and weaker. If you're pro-ID laws, then stop arguing, because you're bad at it.

The boring answer is that it was likely a clerical error.

Conservatives will decry the state as incompetent in one breathe and then say they are capable of orchestrating massive voter fraud rings to benefit one candidate in the next.

In reality, these things almost always have a boring explanation.

I googled this. Looks like this is a false claim. Not sure why you linked to that website as you can't look up anyone but yourself

Hold up, hold up. I need to take my "protects against fallacious arguments" pill.
The amount of absolutely illogical statements in the last 4-5 posts, has set off my "warning.. dipshyts are present" alarm.
