Not hard:  One party wants to make rules for permanent cheating.  You decide which it is!

Let me help you:  From the Dims:  Automatic restoration of voting rights to felons.  No voter ID requirements.  “No excuse” mail-in voting for all voters in all states (for the purpose of fraud).

These are all facts. To question the source is simply juvenile.

Of course, the question was rhetorical. What’s wrong with having to have an id and a signature that can be justified? What’s wrong with having to request a ballot? And what’s wrong with having to have it sent in on time?

All those things you mentioned would make it harder for Dems to cheat.

What is wrong with having a valid ID and having signatures match when voting?  This is something every American should want, unless you’re a Dem, it seems.

I don’t want to control who votes legally. I just don’t want voting to be based on the “trust” system. 
 

Do you have any good reasons why someone shouldn’t either a) have to vote in person with an id or b) absentee vote with a signature match?

Will it be a signature expert at every poll ( honestly how will that work). My signature changes every day.

 And there are elderly and less fortunate folks with no needs of transportation. ( people don’t even leave there homes to make groceries anymore)

I think with technology we could figure out a better solution to stop voter fraud ( if that’s even a serious thing because the experts say it’s not).

 And here’s a question how many legal votes of voters would not have been counted if these things where in place.

To be fair Hillary lost big to trump in upsetting fashion. Dems still refuse to change laws (To be fair the republicans had presidency and both house and changed nothing).

 It’s something imaginary for us to argue about.

It needs to be secure.  Everybody that has the right to vote should be allowed to vote.  Once.  

Believe it or not, some people would prefer that low-information voters be excluded from voting.  People that think that way exist and would like to see any barrier to keep the "great unwashed" from participating.  On the other hand, there are people who are licking their chops at the thought of less oversight making ballot harvesting and voter fraud easier.  Those people exist, too.

You should be required to provide an ID if you want to vote.  That's just commons sense.  Anybody who argues otherwise is not being honest about whether they believe our elections should be secure.  You should also be an American Citizen if you want to vote in our elections, IMO.  It's nutty how we wanted to impeach the former president over "foreign interference" in our elections, but then fight for the rights of non-citizens to vote in our elections.  It's just puzzling.

The bigger problem is this... if peoples' right to vote is wasted because they weren't allowed to vote OR their vote was canceled by a fraudulent one, then our democracy will fail.  That's just a fact.  That's why it was so dangerous for Trump to allege fraud with no proof.

 And there are elderly and less fortunate folks with no needs of transportation. ( people don’t even leave there homes to make groceries anymore) Those are the ones for which mail-in ballots should be provided when requested.  The problem is that some jurisdictions were just mailing a ballot to everyone on the roll whether they requested it or not.   You could literally mail in your ballot, then show up on election day to vote again and if your local election official (who didn't bother to verify anything) didn't mind, vote twice.  Or ballots could be stolen, used by relatives, etc...

I think with technology we could figure out a better solution to stop voter fraud ( if that’s even a serious thing because the experts say it’s not).  I think that you get where you need to be by requiring ID, mail-in ballots by request, etc... the fact that so many people are alleging that the machines are rigged is doing a huge disservice to everyone.  Those same people don't mind using their debit card at a gas pump, but technology is the debbil when it comes to voting.

 And here’s a question how many legal votes of voters would not have been counted if these things where in place.  There's also the question of how many fraudulent ones would have been discarded if these things were in place.  But to answer your question, none of the legal ones would get tossed.. only the ones that don't comply with the letter of the law. 

To be fair Hillary lost big to trump in upsetting fashion. Dems still refuse to change laws (To be fair the republicans had presidency and both house and changed nothing).  Yes, but no... they didn't have the votes to flip over the Electoral College (and still don't).  But they did make sure that many, many thousands of un-requested ballots went out to the public in battleground states this time around, then did nothing to verify the legality/authenticity of those ballots upon their return on/after election day.  You can't verify the signature on the ballot and the request if there isn't a request upon which to compare. 

 It’s something imaginary for us to argue about.

In short, I don't know if there was widespread fraud.  I know that there's no proof of it, and that's what we have to live with.  I strongly believe that election integrity shouldn't be a political hatchet used to further either parties' chances of success or we're all in big trouble... and I'm not talking about a lost election, I'm talking about a new form of government because voting didn't work.

The government review everybody tax returns. Check for fraud the whole 9 yards they get this job done in usually 2 to 4 weeks after you file. No ID is required for this. Why can’t we have a system where when you register to vote (a month earlier) everything gets reviewed put in a database. When votes come in that’s not in database or raises a red flag. They get pushed to side for verification.( that’s 3 months they’ll have to verify every single vote if they so chose to.

You don’t think your SSN identifies you?

No they don’t. They just pay you or take your money. Then they choose a small sample to audit based in certain risk criteria. If you’re telling me that our voting should be based on the integrity of how people file their taxes, then we are in big trouble. 
Their are lots of things that identify you: employer’s records, financial records, property records, business records, so in & so forth. You’re comparing apples to oranges.

That's kinda where we are now in some states (like Texas) but other states will allow their residents to register and vote on the same day.  This federal legislation is seeking to force all states to allow day-of-election registrations.  

All kidding aside, there ARE people who want to make if harder for people to vote because they think that they can predict which candidates will benefit from those "low information" votes.  That's just as wrong as voter fraud, IMO.  

 

FWIW, they do a really crappy job of reviewing tax returns... two separate years we dealt with a non-custodial parent running down and claiming kids that lived with us... they got paid and we got our refund hung up for months until we provided all of the proof that the IRS was wanting.  I guess the system did work eventually, but it sucked in the meantime.

Here's a thought though... they long since outlawed "poll taxes" because they were keeping people from voting.  

I guess I still wonder how smart it is to have people who pay no taxes participate in the decision-making process with people who do, in fact, pay taxes.  

It's like being in the car with your wife and three kids out looking for food, but you keep getting out-voted by the kids in the back seat. 

 

Literally.

    • 3 yrs ago LCM and Vidor played in Vidor for a play in game.  Game was on a Saturday and started around 1 or 2p.
    • It would shock me beyond belief if he tried to. Now, I hope and pray he appoints people that will investigate, charge, and imprison anyone found guilty of the crimes against him...including treason. I would be all for a special task force charge solely with the task of investigating crimes against Trump. Of course the Democrats will be screaming bloody murder that Trump is weaponizing the government against them. We all know the story. From a cursory standpoint, there seems to be a plethora of evidence to lock up many Democrats for a long time. Unless this is done, I see no end to destruction of our political system...and this country.
    • There is a difference, but I wouldn't at all put it past Trump to do so if he had the infrastructure in place to get away with it like the Dems currently do.  With the amount of effort he's invested in ruining those republicans who've opposed him, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
    • I think it will be an interesting case and could potentially come up for appeal on a different constitutional point.  The Supreme Court has ruled in the past that the government doesn’t have to take possession of property in order to take it under the meaning of the Fifth Amendment.  If they take away the enjoyment or use of the property, it is no different than physically seizing it to build a highway for example. In a lawsuit as opposed to a criminal trial, a person/plaintiff doesn’t have to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt but rather by a preponderance of evidence or “more likely” to have happened. Maybe it could be described as more likely yes than no or 51%-49%.  ”IF” it can be shown at a trial by a preponderance of evidence that Texas more likely yes than no caused the flooding with its engineering of the project, the people suing might have a case. But…. Does that alone win the case under the Fifth Amendment taking clause? I am not so sure. In US v Causby the Supreme Court ruled that the US government took a man’s property by flying airplanes over it. It was a public airport lawfully leased by the US in WWII and used to fly heavy bombers from it. Causby had an egg farm and the extremely loud noise of some airplanes under full power and sometimes at night with a landing lights being so close, it bothered and scared the family and damaged his egg farm production. Some chickens died and some quit laying eggs due to the extreme disturbances and lights at night. The Supreme Court ruled in Causby’s favor saying that the US had taken away the enjoyment and use of his land even though they didn’t physically seize it. The use of the land was hampered and that was enough for the taking clause under the Fifth Amendment. So in the IH-10 case, did Texas take away the use or enjoyment of the property?  A point of Causby was that the military bombers at a public airport was certainly for “public use”. The planes were public/taxpayers’ and the airport and lease were taxpayers’ property so the “public” definitely used it   My question in this lawsuit against Texas, even in they can prove the damage, was the damage (like in Causby) for “public use”? If not would it then not be a Fifth Amendment case but rather a state law case?  If Texas law denies such a lawsuit under state sovereignty and the families can’t prove a Fifth Amendment case of “public use”, could they prove the damages but still lose the case under state law? I haven’t read that anywhere and just thinking out loud. I could be way off base. But I think it could be interesting…..
    • Both sides...that is, everyone tries to get their people elected. Trump has not weaponized the government to bankrupt and imprison his political opponents. Night and day difference for me.
