[@martyberry1917]

I am so ready to vote against Trump. Every time he rants I just wish he’d disappear and we’d never have to listen to his awful voice again. I will say that I’m worried about this election because my husband (who voted for Joe in 2020) is saying he won’t vote for him again because of his mishandling of the Israel/Gaza war and the ban of TikTok. He’s kind of gone in a wild direction saying “Both sides are bad so we should sit out this election” because Joe goes against his moral and ethical beliefs. I voted for Joe in 2020 and plan to vote for him again in 2024. The apathy is what is concerning to me. We should all be very concerned about how to motivate people to turn out and vote against Donald Trump. I’m more a left leaning nondenominational Christian and Trump is repulsive- to be honest. I’m worried about the misinformation going around on TikTok and how it might actually carry enough weight to potentially cause a million or so people to just “sit out” this election and allow the crazy old guy to win over a common sense catholic man that is working to get abortion rights back for everyone. Quite frankly, I’m worried the both sidesism will doom us all. I’ve studied psychology for years and it’s like people have genuinely lost their marbles.

[@Beautytrix]

Your husband this time not voting for Joe is sad, because if Trump is elected, there will never ever be an election again.

[@malcolmbliss777]

Screw that. Who cares about an ID? INSURANCE FOR GUN OWNERS! use a gun without insurance? 20 years, no probation no parole. And not one bullet fired without insurance. ID’s will NOT STOP crime, or more criminals getting guns. INSURANCE makes gun owners criminals. That’s takes 95% of the guns and gun owners OFF THE GAME BOARD. Period! Problem solved! And as one who was shot in a random crime? IMO, my opinion should be the ONLY ONE that matters. I know firsthand what this is all about. If you haven’t been shot, out of the blue, for no reason at all other than “gimme what you got”? I HAVE an opinion that reflects the damage that this does to society. My hospital bill was $270,000. Guess who paid? YOU DID, and people like you who have NEVER BEEN SHOT, or lost a loved one to these crimes.

[@bigdendepiccolo]

All government ID and documents should be FREE, copies too, and probably are in OTHER countries...😡

[@jeffenad5412]

I agree that some forms of identification should be free, especially voter IDs and national IDs (citizenship IDs), and should not have expiration dates. However, they should be required to be used at least once every voting year to remain valid. If a person skips a presidential election year, they should be required to renew their voter ID and national ID. This will also increase voter turnout. The IDs for a driver's license and other government-issued IDs that are optional to obtain should still require a fee. The government needs to provide voter IDs and national IDs the moment people register to vote and when they turn 18 years old for a national ID.

[@patriciamillin1977]

I live in Germany. Here, carrying an ID is mandatory, but they are easy to obtain, seeing as there are always citizens’ service centres close by. I think the ID costed €28 and seeing as I could walk the ~20 minutes, there were no extra travel costs. In larger towns they have centres in a lot of suburbs, too, so there is easy access for everyone. You have to register your address at the citizens’ service centre when you move. By doing so, you are automatically also registered to vote. As a Brit, I didn’t have a German ID and was therefore only allowed to participate in local and EU elections. Due to Brexit, I applied for dual citizenship in 2018. At our next general election in 2021, I automatically received an invitation to vote for the first time. I took my ID with me, but didn’t really need it, only the invitation. They checked my invitation with their lists and then checked off my name. That was it, no problems. There are also numerous polling locations, so that just about everyone has one close by, normally reachable on foot. My polling location was a 3-minute walk from my apartment, so it took me all of 16 minutes from the moment I left my apartment to the moment I returned after voting. From what I gathered, it’s more-or-less the same in other European countries. If America implemented these measures, there would be no more discussions. However, with Republicans wanting “small government” and not wanting to spend money (but always ending up spending the most!), it’s almost impossible to get this done and I have a suspicion they don’t want to. They don’t want even every eligible person to vote. They insist on voter ID, but refuse to do anything to make them easier to obtain.

If you have a social security number or a birth certificate, you can easily get an id.

[@McCarthyJohn100]

Many people have a social security number, but it costs money to get an ID. For some low income people, even a low fee and traveling to specific locations during work hours can be extremely difficult. Also, many people have trouble obtaining their birth certificate. If you aren't lucky enough to get an original copy from your parents, you have to contact the place you were born and pay to get it. If you live out of state or any number of record keeping obstructions, that can prevent some from obtaining a birth certificate to get your ID. It's not that it's extremely difficult for most people, it's that it can be difficult for some people, overwhelmingly lower income households.

[@sarahthompson7411]

@McCarthyJohn100 all valid points, but it doesn't eliminate that you should have to show identification to vote. Also, I've never had a job that doesn't require an ID. They have to verify who you say you are.

For the beginning of life arguement, I flip it the other way. As in when do we decide life ends. Does the government have a right to tell you that you have to keep a loved one on life support? My mother had a do not resuscitate, but emts resuscitated and we had to gather at the hospital and decide to pull life support. Should the government have been able to tell us no you have to leave her on life support? How long should families have to bear that burden, tube feeding, washing, paying for a person that has, by medical standards, died. Now abortion is even more personal because that life support is a living breathing person. So it's not one to one but many people that don't understand abortion have experienced having to make end of life decisions for other family and it is similar enough to spark some deeper thought

Michael Popok went down there and filmed live to prove there were neither no large protest groups outside the court building nor was the block closed aside from one direction and that’s blocked off from crossing normally anyway. He crossed the usual way and stood right outside the building where Judge Merchan’s courtroom is located.

BTW, David, i bought 2 books "Think Like a Voter". My 8 and 12 yr old grandaughter loves the book. And,a copy was given to her elementary school librarian for the kiddos. Get involved early in your family's understanding of the US Constitution, government processes, civil rights, and voting.

In Texas you have to have your ID and voter's registration card

Years ago the I.D needed to vote was wrong. Seriously, today in 2024 you need to show I.D. for many things. Who doesn't have I.D. at this point?

[@mirandashuwera3389]

David, WHY in most states, would someone be charged with murdering TWO people, when a pregnant woman is murdered?? 😅 The mental gymnastics displayed here is astounding!

I got a free Voter ID, but had to show proof of current address, citizenship and picture ID. In North Carolina you need a government issued photo ID and your voter registration card

[@janicewolk6492]

My concern is the encouragement of untruthful statements claiming asylum, which I do not believe represents a large portion of these immigrants. The immigration issue should be discussed as a economic necessity given dropping birth rates. I do not think letting uneducated socially fragmented groups unregulated access to the same benefits as citizens is viable however. So rules, including penalties for failure to follow those rules, are necessary. I will never vote for a Vivek for anything. Ever.

If an ID were to be required to exercise your right to vote, it should also be exercised for purchasing firearms. Make an argument for voter ID that can't be used for gun control. You need an ID to buy beer, a jewelpod, a pack of cigarettes...

Maybe Trump's lawyers put sleeping meds in his drink to shut him up so that they can keep him out of jail.

I feel your pain dusty. All my extreme Maga family lives in dfw too. I was born and lived there 21 years

If he gets jail time you said it they will confine him to Marlago and how hard is that going to be.

[@bctroublefield7399]

Hannity, one ID is used for purchasing things. Why can't we use the same ID to vote?

[@candiwankenobidragon2774]

The justice system is proving to be disapointing. It's not fair. He is a civilian and accused of crimes. He needs to go to jail and await trials.

[@jilliancopeland6825]

They've just introduced voter ID here in the UK (pushed by US talking points). You can apply on-line for free photo ID, or as they call it a Voter Authority Certificate, if you do not have a passport or drivers licence, no cost, no travel and no hassle. The funny thing is when the Labour party introduced similar ID which could also replace passport for travel in the EU, the very same people who have pushed this through (conservatives) were up in arms about it and on their first days in office got rid of it.

19:07 As I understand it, science actually has determined that anything resembling consciousness can't emerge before about 24 weeks.

My first child was born in Indianapolis in 1968. Birth certificates were issued by the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County. A week after he was born I received a copy--not a certified one--of his birth certificate, with a note that said that certificates were $3.00 each (minimum wage at that time was $1.60) but that they would be issued free if needed to establish age to enter school, to file for social security benefits, or to enter the Armed Forces. I would have no problem with a state imposing voter ID requirements if birth certificates were issued free for that purpose.

[@frogpedals]

I live in an area where they always check a government I’d. I am an independent. I have never understood why we would not be required to identify ourselves. If they can take time to vote they can take time to get an ID. Set up ID registrations at voting places.

[@WilRod123]

Personally, I think we should present a valid ID for many things. Right now, you need a valid ID to legally drive, fly, buy certain OTC meds, etc. Same should be for guns, voting, etc.

[@tfive24]

Call their bluff, let everyone get a free federal picture ID . Watch them say no.

[@cdubya3071]

To register to vote, you do have to have an ID and a registered signature on file. When you walk into vote, you bring in your registration card and sign in. It either matches or it doesn’t.
