Quote:I don't know about other places, but when I go vote I always present my voter ID card as well as a photo ID.

 

I never heard of anyone else doing that. Just the photo ID is enough.

Quote:nope

 

Yep. I was a registered voter in Ohio before and after the voter ID law was passed, so I know what the Republicans were doing and why.

Aww, well isn't that cute.  Doesn't make you right.

 

You just hate Republicans, which is sad.  You need to think more.

Quote:My whole point is before there was a voter ID law, it was guaranteed all votes would count. Republicans knowingly made votes not count by making voters present IDs. It was clearly a partisan move to take away our democracy.

How does having to prove you are legally allowed to vote take away our democracy?

Quote:I never heard of anyone else doing that. Just the photo ID is enough.

 

Well, I don't know if it's a requirement, but it's the way that I've always done it.  I have noticed that the person working at the polling place looks at my ID and doesn't really look at my voter's registration card much.

 

In my opinion, a photo ID should be required.

It should be required.  It ensures the person who registered with ID, is the same person who shows up to vote.

 

My dad is registered, but is dead.  We share the same name.  As does my son.

There is a big difference between hating Republicans and hating their policies. I can like a Republican person who votes for Donald Trump. That does not mean I have to like the majority of Ohio's state legislature.

If you don't understand their policies, then you shouldn't be passing judgment on them.

 

If you have an ID and are honest, you can take that ID to both register and to the polls.

 

I've shown mine every time I've voted.

 

There's absolutely no reason anyone couldn't, unless their objective was fraud.

It doesn't really, but voter ID laws, reducing the number of polling places, and shortening the early voting periods, which are all 100% Republican ideas that were never supported by Democrats, have all been proven to reduce voter turnouts directly. The end result, therefore, is turning back the clock to when people could not vote.

I don't know why anybody thinks I am taking it personally. It has nothing to do with me. I have no problem showing my ID.

I am for voter ID's. as well. Not sure why folks are against.

I already stated my reasons several times. Anything that deters people from voting is bad, plain and simple. I read Ohio's voter ID law was passed at a time when fraud was virtually nonexistent.

Again, you don't understand the policy.  I love you regurgitating your talking point like a good puppet with the "turning back the clock" nonsense.

 

Those policies you mention reduce the chance for fraud and keep unnecessary costs down.

 

"Turning back the clock" would be instituting voting tests, etc... which is nothing like what you mention.

 

I'm sensing mom is a Democrat, and I take it you've been programmed that way as well.

 

You have still yet to refute the fact there's nothing wrong with having to show ID at the polls.

Quote:I already stated my reasons several times. Anything that deters people from voting is bad, plain and simple. I read Ohio's voter ID law was passed at a time when fraud was virtually nonexistent.

 

Having to produce an ID to vote is certainly not a deterrent.

 

That's just a flat out lie.

Voter ID laws only reduce the number of votes made by people that are not legally entitled to vote, it has nothing to do with turning back the clock to a time when people could not vote. That's just a silly argument to make.

Do you think people who are not legally entitled to vote should be able to vote and have their voted counted any ways?

Actually I have been a Democrat five years longer than her. My dad was a staunch Republican.

What happened years ago is not a lie. You are either unable or unwilling to believe this could have actually happened. That is fine, but you have no proof history is a liar.

Quote:Do you think people who are not legally entitled to vote should be able to vote and have their voted counted any ways?

 

People who voted for decades were not having their votes counted despite going to the correct polling places. They were absolutely entitled to vote.

You seem confused between today and long ago.  One has nothing to do with the other.

 

Again, how is producing an ID to vote "suppressive?"

 

It treats everyone equally, no matter who you're voting for.
