My grandparents were born at home, as were most of my uncles, therefore did not have a “birth” certificate. My Dad was one of the last people in Ohio to get a driver’s license, as one wasn’t needed when he learned to drive. “Voter Fraud” is an excuse to blame someone else for lack of policies. It’s interesting that the stories of intimidation always seem to be about poor, immigrants and seniors being told different voting days or times, or that a “representative” of the Board of Elections is “authorized” to “collect” absentee ballots so they don’t have to be mailed in! Never hear FAUX news talk about that! Oh, wait, it’s because it always gets connected to Republican dirty tricks!
I don’t see why that’s such a controversial issue either. That’s the way it is in Canada, but everyone in Canada has a picture ID in the form of a medicare card. I guess the crux is in having the law without making sure everyone can have that form of ID first.
Ima, PLEASE tell me about REAL voter fraud! Please cite actual cases, with footnotes, so we can reference how common this ISN’T! By the way, in the rural South, there are still many who were/are born at home. Depression or not, there are still areas where people don’t have the required ID, and many of those have migrated to other areas. In Ross County, Ohio there were calls to the Board of Elections that “employees” were “checking” to see who had voted, and in Pa.,people were turned away for not having picture ID, even though the judge’s order said NO picture ID was needed for this election! Voter intimidation is a bigger threat than voter fraud!

Dorothy, that looks like the ChickenHawk,’ clarifying his position(s)‘. Don’t let him anywhere near your dog.

Hmm, did that chickenhawk also already eat her whole corn crop? Oh, wait, that non-existent climate change wiped it out.

Undecided voters don’t matter as much as motivated voters getting out and doing what’s needed.
