I see that in the USA there is an ongoing battle to bring in Voter ID. Why?
Did it not exist already? How were elections held all these years? Who has and who does'nt have voter ID?
Are we talking Govt issued ID...?

You're supposed to be a legal citizen in order to vote in the U.S..

So yes they are talking about some form of government I.D..

Most likely in the form of a tattoo on your butt so you can drop trou and get reamed real good when you close your eyes and vote for the least offensive candidate.

The problem with dropped trou....is that alot are gonna enjoy that, all for the wrong reason lol !!!

In most places in the US, voter ID is only needed upon request. And there are many acceptable forms of ID, like a regular drivers license or even a library card or utility bill. In some states, they require a government- issued ID with a photo, like a driver's license or a passport.

Trump's proposed law would require that all states require photo IDs, and that those IDs match the name on the voter rolls, so women who get married would have to re-prove their citizenship, going and obtaining a passport and a certified copy of their birth certificates and marriage certificate. A huge headache.

Lots of other people would have to re- register, when the Republicans inevitably kick them off the voter rolls for having a foreign- sounding name and being registered Democrat.

Those government documents aren't free and there's already a bit in the Constitution that requires voting to be free of charge.

May want to brush up on your Spanish.

proven cases of noncitizen voting are incredibly rare. Even an organization engaged in a major effort to document voter fraud produced fewer than 70 proven cases of noncitizens who voted in elections in the last 40 years. Given that over one billion votes have been cast over that period in thousands of elections, the incidence of proven noncitizen voting is below 0.0001%.

I dont really see a problem when it comes to women who gets married.. Why cant they just put their married name , if any , on the Voters list.... What name do they put on the Taxes ?? Its a cop out to me ....saying that.
And yes the Constitution may stipulate that voting rights are free... so no one is being charged for voting . They may incur a cost to secure an ID... there is a difference..
And the fraud is not at the Voting booth.... its with the Mail in ballots....and that has always been open to manipulation by all and sundry...
Any how I am just a poor Canadian , with little understanding of how you guys conduct your business.... all I can say is Good Luck with that !!!

First of all when you get married, by law you are supposed to go have your driver license changed to your married name within a certain amount of time... Applies the same when you move to a new address or state..

You can still have your maiden name and your married last name put on your drivers license for mine is...

Sure if you just got married and went to go vote you may be asked for other identification.. but I have never been asked for anything but my drivers license..

Regardless it should be mandatory to have a legit form of ID regardless to Vote!

Alright so maybe, maybe seventy-six in the last forty years.

And how many folks voted in Queens county compared to six who have been arrested but not yet convicted???

Is there voter fraud going on in this country?

No doubt there is.

Is it running so rampant that it's changing national elections?

Not really.

Time and tax money would be better spent on rooting out politicians who accept graft from and hand out favors to millionaire donors and corporations.

This is exactly my way of thinking..

ITs a modern trend that most women I know keep their maiden and married name on all forms of IDs.

Why is it such a big deal , like making mountains out of molehills , when it comes to getting a Voter ID.
You would think all Parties concerned would be happy that only legit persons are casting their votes in an Election.....and not some poor Canadians like me ha ha...while snowbirding it in Florida !!!
Make me understand the the downside, apart from the relatively cheap cost and headache of obtaining this vital document !!!

Fraud with mail in ballots???
Is that why TACO just voted in an election in Florida with a mail in ballot??
Kind of defeats the argument of fraud.
A man convicted of fraud claims fraud with mail in ballots, does that mean he just committed fraud again?

I do believe TACO as you refer to Your President, is a LEGAL resident of Florida and and is probably on the Voters List and for sure he has the right forms of ID...just mailed in his ballot , as he has bigger things on his plate at the moment....
So your profound logic does not really cut it .... but now I can see where some people get their commom sense or lack thereof from ...Keep doing you , it will take you far in life !!

I am Canadian and just making an observation based on the lies that have been perpetrated through out the days, months and years since January 21st, 2021.
The events of that day were all over the news and your presidents lies were present through out the news broadcasts.
I sit back and laugh at what happens through out the world each and every time more lies are perpetrated by DJT.
With 30,000+ documented lies from his first 4 years in office, the claims of fraud are mute...

Moot, not mute, though lawdy I wish we COULD mute that fatuous drag queen in spray tan & his garish eye-liner wearing V.P.
Boxing promoter Don King used to have a saying; "Only in America..."

Only in American could a person with the reading level of a 3rd grader (if that high), the math comprehension of a 4 year old, the social graces of a 2 year old, the racism that would make old Jefferson Davis proud, & the total disregard of ANY laws, get elected to the highest office in the land.
Not even Russia would tolerate that open level of dishonesty & evident poor manners in an autocrat.

Since this thread has been hijacked... all I can say is when people turned against their country, they were called traitors, now we just call them Democrats or in some cases , Liberals... OR do they just join those parties !!

Hey maybe if the Voter ID issue can be settled , we may not need to protest for No Kings!!
By the way , all those rallies held over the weekend were just awesome ... So was there like a King the next day .....or does he have to be voted in....Man ! if I wanted to be a King I would just nominate myself....

Seems that the leaders of every county lies nowadays.

Actually , it was a No Kings rally I believe... And Kings as far as my knowledge goes, are generally titles handed down from generation to generation... the bloodline counts alot...
As far as the President is concerned, I think the "King " remark he made was off the cuff and he was expressing a feeling...not to be confused with an intention.
And I do belive he won the vote and so was made President... He may have the making of a Dictator or whatever, but I am certain good citizen like yourself and millions of others will prevent it....You all still have the means no!!! .. Until such time do the needful and co-operate with getting that Voter ID...

Voter ID is essential for fair elections. The democrats want everybody to vote wether they are legal citizens or not. That’s their only path to victory. Their policies of men competing against women. Releasing criminals on the streets. Gender mutilation of children. Allowing billions of$ to be fraudulently stolen. No democrat should ever hold office as a representative of American values.

I thought that your best ID is to have your birth certificate that shows you were born in the United States, then get a social security number.
