^Handcuffs is lacking a bit of nuance in his ill-gotten retort. Voter ID is to make sure that every ballot cast is legal, while also minimizing abuse of absentee ballots (which is where more of the fraud comes in)


Voter ID does absolutely nothing to prevent the abuse of absentee ballots.

Honestly, the idea we don't need security and safeguards for elections, and the fact we cant come up with them when we are the freest and wealthiest sovereign in human history, just shows this is clearly about power & corruption. I mean good fucking god, its 2021, how hard is it to have integrity these days, lmao


where is this abuse/fraud you speak of?

Right…. Because have a unique id for each person to claim on their ballot would never work

If you don't have a voter ID, you should be given a provisional ballot and you should have a couple weeks to rectify any sort of discrepancy. Elections aren't certified for several weeks so that shouldn't really be a problem.

Do you not think that voting is a form of harm reduction, especially so for local elections?


If you participate in the voting, you give the winner (even if you didn't vote for them) the ability to say "it was a fair election, and elections have consequences." I'm getting to the point that I don't care who it is wielding power, they're still going to use it in manners I don't support. NOTA needs to be a legally binding ballot option, for every election.
