Class act

And a liar. The right wing Heritage Foundation writing these laws for Republicans to pass. The objective is to stop people from voting, they admit this. When more people vote, Republicans LOSE. That's why they want to make it hard as possible for people to vote.

As a USA citizen I WANT ALL VOTERS TO SHOW THEIR IDENTITY "ID's". Must show ID or No Voting allowed 🇺🇸

[@williampennjr.4448]

No ID is more intusive and expensive than the income tax forms that the federal and state government require (by threat of jail ) for you to provide every April 15th, just for having a job. Last time I check having a job is required to survive. Nobody ever died or was left homeless because of not voting.

[@moki7850]

In Missouri, I have always voted with a paper ballot & always had to show ID of some sort. After you've voted once, you get an ID in the mail & every Election after, for the future ones of that nature. But, you don't have to use it. You can also use a utility bill with your name it, if need be. Or you just use your MO Driver's license. They ask you your name, they find your name on the list, show ID a sign little screen like when you sign for a package. If everything has matched, Then you're handed your ballot. I think that's how it should be nationwide.

[@elvira2756]

@@moki7850 sorry, but I don't think an electric bill is acceptable as ID.

Earn what those that shed blood over, volunteered to do, to preserve that/those rights. I am white, father/mother from U.S. but have similar respect/ancestry from abroad, and we all contributed (Mil) to preserve the "right" to be called...American! WE put/shut up for that!

Voting in America is a privilege and a right for Americans only.

Seems appropriate which is why the polling names can be validated by the names on the list of voters. The swearing in when you're elected to a government position is also a privilege and when the oath is not upheld, the privilege is eliminated.
