Bold: Actually most states that I have been to don't allow you to vote unless you have a residence in that state for at least 3-6 months anyways.
And? So basically, if one moves every year, then they have a change of address, no? So if someone who's photo ID reads 10 Jane Doe St., Chicago has moved to 20 John Doe St, Chicago, they can keep it as is despite the faulty address? Really? :lol:
I can get a basic ID where I live for $15, I can't imagine that other places are that much more expensive. But even so, most of the laws that I have seen regarding voter ID's have some kind of provision in it where people can get it for free. How can they not afford that? Or like the link provided earlier shows they can vote via absentee ballot for free also (no ID required).
I am having a hard time grasping how someone is perfectly fine with having to spend money to practice their democratic right. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone.
Red: I really don't think that voter ID's laws will impact it at all.
Wow. Okay.
But if you're wrong, the consequences will be severe. Bye-bye the freedom your have known your entire life.
I don't mind them. Yes I do know that currently they are subject to many errors and yes, hackings are possible. But they are reletively new and as such I don't fully trust them yet and believe that they should allow some kind of printout until such things are figured out and fixed. I believe that eventually voting machines will become the norm whether we trust them or not anyways. It is inevitable I think due to the normal progress of a society that is based off of technology...and a society that has so many people in it.
Man, you are just all over the place. I have to shake my head because I am having a difficult time believing that some people think like this. So basically, you put your foot down at the possibility of solitary peppered people who might commit voter fraud, but are totally fine with voting machines that have proven to be extremely faulty at best. Don't you realize how absolutely ****ed up that sounds? :screwy
And don't kid yourself. It's harder to bake a pie than it is to hack one of those babies. But hey, don't let that stop your misguided outrage!!111!!11!
