re: #375 funky chicken

I don’t think it does. I think it’s typical stupidity from politicians—old GOPers trying to scare old white people and Dems screaming that requiring a picture ID to vote is an attack on minorities…

Do you know anybody without a picture ID? They aren’t hard to get.

My point is that the majority of folks don’t see why it’s any big deal to show ID for all kinds of daily activities, so they aren’t gonna mind if they have to show one to vote. And they aren’t gonna believe that other people can’t get a picture ID.
The GOP keeps going back to it because it’s about the only issue where their side makes basic common sense.

I agree with you picture ID is easy to get. Yet we see these ads for check cashing places. They take a % of $ from the most poor. Ouch. Those who don’t get a regular bank account for lack of ID. We have far bigger better reasons to push picture ID to just about everyone, just because the lack of it is obviously so damaging. After you do that you can have all the voter ID ya want, because so incredibly few lack it.

Then when you have voter ID, and a very close election, you have a more accurate vote.
