Some more "patriots"* looking to "protect the vote".

Wonder which party the perps support?

Fish on...

* By "patriots", I really mean fuckin assholes who should, like a few of the dimwits here, take their idea of Democracy and move to North Korea where it will fit in better.

BULL SCHITT! The elderly are either ;

Rich and don't receive any government benefits, so you don't care if they vote or not... but they still have ID so they can prove who they are to anyone handling their money or...

Receiving SS or SSI and Medicare, in which case, they MUST provide ID at the time they applied for benefits. They also MUST provide ID to cash checks whether at a bank or a check cashing service. They have to have ID to pay for anything with a check too...

If you are an adult citizen in the US, you have ID of some sort. You have the ability to obtain a copy of your birth certificate and you have a SS#. If you have no ID to get a copy of either, affadavits from relatives are permitted. A drivers license or state ID is obtainable with those items. A passport also works, as well as military ID.

For social security recipients;

We can accept only certain documents as proof of identity. An acceptable document must be current (not expired) and show your name, identifying information (date of birth or age) and preferably a recent photograph. A birth certificate is not a form of identification. As proof of identity, Social Security must see one of the following primary evidence documents:

U.S. driver's license
U.S. State-issued non-driver identification card
U.S. passport
If you do not have one of the above specific documents or you cannot get a replacement for one of them within 10 days, we will ask to see another document, such as your:

Employee identification card/badge
Health insurance card or Medicaid card (not a Medicare card)
U.S. military identification
U.S. Government identification card
Certificate of Naturalization
Certificate of U.S. Citizenship
U.S. Indian Tribal card (Social Security has to approve as an acceptable ID)
Certified copy of a medical record
School identity card, certified record, or transcript (current year)
Life insurance policy

There is no BS excuse for any these ridiculous assertions of disenfranchisement. Getting to a place to obtain an ID is also not impossible or even difficult. It takes anywhere from one day, to no more than 90 days to get this done.

Anyone who doesn't have ID is either lying, not legally entitled to vote or not mentally competent enough to vote.

I always love seeing someone trying to use "big words" and missing the mark. I'm guessing you meant "empathetic", brah.

Is ANYONE in favor of this Voter ID stuff willing to say the ratio they believe is right? What ratio would you support of:

Fraudulent votes prevented vs. Disenfranchised voters as a result of increased scrutiny?

I'm 1:1. If you can convince me you're preventing more fraud than your disenfranchising, you got me.

What is your ratio?
