But of course same day registration at the polling place would never encourage fraud, Nooooooo...There is no way anyone could ever visit more than one polling place in a day....
Same day registration shouldn't make that any easier to pull off. They still follow all the same procedures regardless of where they do it. In theory maybe if they aren't computerized you could register multiple places and vote before they caught it, but when they go to enter the registration information into the database they'd certainly catch it and probably exclude all your votes.
As far as ID law's, what requirements are you proposing are unacceptable?
Well, really I think that any gaming of it at all is a problem. I think they should just require a valid photo ID like everything else does and leave it at that. Using these levers to try to manipulate results by allowing passports here, but not there, and allowing military IDs here, and not there, and so on, is just a road we can't even start down. In some states they're even doing this thing where certain forms of ID are accepted in one county and not in another so that they can really tweak it to try to maximize the elderly vote in the part of the state that is favorable to their party, but make it harder for elderly people to vote in another part of the state where the elderly don't favor them so much.
Make no mistake, these guys have incredibly detailed block by block maps of exactly how each demographic group votes sliced every way you can imagine and they have extensive research about exactly what percentage of those groups have what kinds of ID. They know that in this particular voting district they'll gain 2% if they don't allow medicare cards, and in this other voting district they'll gain 9% if they don't allow military IDs, and so on.
The most problematic requirements are that the ID be issued by the state (as opposed to passports, medicare cards, student IDs, military IDs, IDs from other states, etc), and that it have your current address. Those two account for most of the 10% they're excluding.
Easy, much easier to have these people disappear after pulling the lever.
Well, I get why you might have assumed that, but it isn't true. All the studies have found that it isn't true. Again, just motivating legal voters to vote once is really hard. If they have surplus get out the vote resources, that is where they spend them, not on trying to get people to vote illegally. It's just more efficient use of resources, and again, all the studies have shown that. It isn't really debatable, it's just a factual question that has been conclusively answered at this point.
Nah, more like jerks on the left who like to call names, and make bogus claims raise suspicion.
LOL. So the fact that the people the right attacks complain when they are attacked is why the right attacks them? We should just shut up and take it and then you'd stop? Uh, I don't think so.
