Appeals court reinstates Texas voter ID law

I didnt read the article. Voter id laws are just common sense.
Then you don't read the fineprint of these laws.
I would expect that from a low-info voter .
 
I didnt read the article. Voter id laws are just common sense. There isnt one legit reason not to have one. It only makes the election more secure against voter fraud.

Good, no problem. Then the taxpayers won't mind paying whatever is necessary to ensure that all eligible voters obtain the necessary ID's without discriminating against certain minorities or groups of citizens.

That might entail providing transportation to the elderly to a county election office to get their IDs. That might also include helping them getting a copy of their SS cards or birth certificates needed to get a State Photo ID.

That work for you?

Then it shouldn't be too much to ask that a high-info voter like yourself fill us dummies in.
 
The key words in yer statement are "near identical".
The Indiana law is constitutional because it is not nearly identical to the 21st century Jim Crow Texas law.

Gov. Pence of Indiana is one of the few GOP governors with any credibility.
Another one is Gov. Sandoval of Nevada .

You do realize that the SCOTUS has already upheld a near identical law in Indiana

Sure, why not. We are $17,500,000,000,000 in debt. Whatever amount this would cost is insignificant next to that stack. Plus if these voting rights are as sacred as the left believes they are, then removing ANY chance of voter fraud should be at the top of the leftist list. Yet its not even on the list. Besides, liberals are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this years election. If getting people IDs so they can vote for your leftist allies is that important, you guys should pay for it.
 
Read the law first instead of saying you didn't read it and get back to me.
Instead of saying that yer mind is already made up--the very definition of low-information--either party ..
Then it shouldn't be too much to ask that a high-info voter like yourself fill us dummies in.
 
Sure, why not. We are $17,500,000,000,000 in debt.
Begun with Reagan deficits of 400+ billion in 1983--as Sen. Dole has said his greatest mistake with tax cuts.
How much do you think that 400+ Billion is in today's dollars Fletch ?

then removing ANY chance of voter fraud should be at the top of the leftist list.
The very conservative Appeals Court Justice in the Wisconsin case has already knocked this down in his dissenting opinion.
The very same dissenting opinion that the SCOTUS used to knock down the Wisconsin law after the Appeals Court.
A GOP SCOTUS .
 
Then you don't read the fineprint of these laws.

You expect that from a liberal?

Again, a voter id law is common sense. The only reason one would be arguing against it is if they are advocates for those who wish to corrupt an election

You have any hardcore numbers to prove that voter fraud is so significant that it is a threat to our form of government? Who is doing it? How are they doing it?

Hey, we live in the United States of America where crooks and cons fill our government. But that doesn't seem to be a problem. Are voter IDs necessary to keep the crooks and cons in office?

"YOUR LEFTIST ALLIES....LIBERALS SPENDING". Are you related to Navy Pride?

By the way, can you prove that the right has grown government less than the left? I suggest it's been more, but I'm sure you'll deny it.

Oh, how do you think the $17.5 Trillion came to be? You're gonna hate the search results.

17 trillion is 42 times larger than 400 billion. Are you suggesting that 400 billion in 1983 is the equivalent of 17 trillion?

How is a Texas voter ID law like jim crow and an Indiana law not?

The g doesnt transport them to vote, ergo the g will not transport them to get their id.

Some things people just have to do themselves. It builds character. How can that be bad?

And what minorities would be discriminated against? How so?
 
I don't for one second think Republicans push voter ID laws to stem voter fraud. They know it isn't a problem. They also know that anything that increases the burden on the poor to vote will help the Republicans. So I tend to be against these laws because the real intent behind them is downright evil.

In principle, however, I am fine with voter ID laws if the IDs are free and easy to obtain for the poor and elderly. If they can figure out how to do that without an additional burden on the voter then I wouldn't have a problem with it and my guess most liberals wouldn't have a problem with it either.

I see that you're true to the juice (kool-aid). Drink neighbor, drink.

Your uninformed antics aren't really challenging or witty enough to wanna continue to play with you.

You don't mind me not playing do ya?
 
Since Texas law isn't like Indiana law, you would be engaging in false-equivalency .

How is a Texas voter ID law like jim crow and an Indiana law not?
 
Yet that wasn't Reagan's only 400+ billion deficit was it?
How much interest do you think has built on Reagan's 2 trillion debt, when interest rates were higher?
Not to mention the interest alone on GWB's trillions.
17 trillion is 42 times larger than 400 billion. Are you suggesting that 400 billion in 1983 is the equivalent of 17 trillion?
Of course not--but you already knew that.
What is a dollar worth now compared to then, more or less ?
 
Since Texas law isn't like Indiana law, you would be engaging in false-equivalency .

What specifically makes the Texas law like jim crow that is not in the Indiana law? You would be engaging in obfuscation

I wonder if just once you could respond to a post and not just go off on some 'yeah, but republicans are worse' screed.

The very conservative Appeals Court Justice in the Wisconsin case has already knocked this down in his dissenting opinion.
The very same dissenting opinion that the SCOTUS used to knock down the Wisconsin law after the Appeals Court.
A GOP SCOTUS .
Yes, but republicans are stupid and always wrong, so this judges opinion in Wisconsin is stupid and wrong because he is a republican.
 
Since Texas law isn't like Indiana law, you would be engaging in false-equivalency .

What are the differences exactly? Please be specific.

We already ask for certain forms of ID at the polling booth, do you have any hardcore numbers to prove that that is necessary? The truth is, I don't know if there is fraud or not. But the potential is there for someone to claim he is someone else and cast a vote. You cannot deny that in the absence of a photo ID this is certainly a possibility. Requiring a photo ID and a proper registration at the poll is a very rational standard for voting. There is no rational reason to oppose it.

Hey, we live in the United States of America where crooks and cons fill our government. But that doesn't seem to be a problem. Are voter IDs necessary to keep the crooks and cons in office?
I don't know what that has to do with anything I said.

"YOUR LEFTIST ALLIES....LIBERALS SPENDING". Are you related to Navy Pride?
No. Are you related to NIMBY? I ask because I wasn't making a partisan statement about WHO was responsible for the debt.
By the way, can you prove that the right has grown government less than the left? I suggest it's been more, but I'm sure you'll deny it.

Oh, how do you think the $17.5 Trillion came to be? You're gonna hate the search results.
Yet you both read it that way.
 
How many liberals in Texas vote more than once?

It might be a bunch of conservatives having to vote more than once...in order to win? Well, nawwwh, that's not how it works. Conservatives do much better at gerrymandering to win election.

Carry on Sailor....


If that is so why are Liberals so against Voter ID? Its because they can only vote once........No dead voters etc.

Under President Reagan our economy was the greatest in the history of this country.

Thats what i thought, libs cant even tell you how they discriminate against minorities, they just do. Lol.

Oh, lordy, lordy, NP. Well, people can spin numbers all they want, but there's a lot of folks that would take issue with Reaganomics. He wasn't like Jesus, ya know.

And just to keep this from straying wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out there for ya....I voted for Reagan twice. But if I could do it over. Nawwwwh.

Just to be on the square, here. I wouldn't piss on most members of the Washington Royalty if their hair was on fire. Either side of the isle. Ya dig?
