We must be reading in a different language. He said he had no problem, as most adults,  to provide the necessary documents.    

Every time you hear about somebody trying to stop people from voting, it’s a Republican. 
 

Republicans are a dying breed. They need to “Make America Great Again.” Like pre-1964, before the Civil Rights Act. How about a little more separate but equal… is that what they mean by Great Again? Maybe they’re talking pre-suffrage, when women were finally allowed to vote? Or would yall prefer to go back to pre-civil war days? How far back until we’re “Great Again.”

 

Republicans want to go back to ways of thinking that were exclusionary, biased, and wrong. They miss the days when they oppressed everybody, but those hateful days are thankfully over and we’re never going back. Too much progress has been made, and the correct movement is correctly named progressive.

By thinking minorities and women can’t vote because it is too complicated or too much trouble is treating them like they are oppressed or too stupid to vote…..here is an idea, why don’t we treat everyone equal?  Your way of thinking makes me think Democrats just don't want to loose control over minorities….promise them free stuff and they will vote for us….. I think they are smarter than that and we should treat everyone the same…..

We already know that illegals aren’t voting in our elections. It’s been proven to just be another Trump election lie. 33 POTENTIAL incidents out of 11.3 million here in Texas. That’s nothing.
 

So why change it up? It’s been 150+ years and the same group of people (older white males) are still trying to keep as many people as they can from voting. Nothing’s changed.

How convinced are you that not one illegal has voted in our elections?!

If we could trust people not to cheat, they would have mail-in drug tests.

So if you aren’t allowed to vote, you’re cool with that?

I have a photo ID, so I will always be allowed to vote!

No, you won’t, my man. Go find out the hard way. 
 

There’s always that one guy who knows it all and refuses to listen.  And those guys end up crying the loudest when the consequences of their own deliberate ignorance of the facts come back around. 
 

Have fun with that.

LOL - so it is your stance that Republicans are making it to where no one can vote with just their photo id? 

After the save act passes, if you are registered to vote, your DL will be fine to vote. Registering to vote, you will need your birth certificate along with you DL......BTW - when my Son got his first got his drivers license, he needed his birth certificate..... and this may come as a shock to you, but I was able to provide it and we made just one trip.

I voted in the primary with just an ID!
