Statistical sampling showed about 11% of the voters nationwide did not have proper ID. That is 21 million voters getting ****ed off because they are made to jump through hoops to recover their voting rights. No Cite no credibility. You are saying that 11 % of the voters nationwide do not have a drivers license or other form of ID. Not very believable without some source for that. Dan |

Dan here is your cite: http://geoff82.wordpress.com/2012/01...ave-photo-ids/ "As many as 11 percent of United States citizens – more than 21 million individuals – do not have government-issued photo identification. Eleven percent of the American citizens surveyed responded that they do not have current, unexpired government-issued identification with a photograph, such as a driver’s license or military ID. Using 2000 census calculations of the citizen voting-age population, this translates to more than 21 million American adult citizens nationwide who do not possess valid government photo ID." |

What good would voter ID be in preventing fraud if they accepted ID that didn't contain the correct name and address? The point is the foolish and stupid like Gunner and Plimpton thought voter ID would favor Republican candidates . It turns out it is having the opposite effect, mostly because it is ****ing off millions of voters who are inconvenienced by having to get new ID to regain their eligibility to vote. |

If it is picture Id, it would prevent claiming to be a person who is dead or not likely to vote. If the name is not current as in women who have recently married, it would let them vote as who they were before getting married. If the address was wrong, they could vote in the precinct for the address on the ID. Dan |

The idea is to ensure that everyone gets to vote once per election. Most laws requiring voter ID , allow a person to vote a provisional ballot. A ballot that is only counted if the race is close enough that the provisional ballots could change the outcome. In that case they have to verify that the person is a registered voter before counting the ballot. As far as ****ing people off, are you ****ed off that a bank will not cash a check without proof that you are the person to whom the check is written? if so, then why are you ****ed off. If you are not ****ed off , why do you think voters are going to be ****ed off because they have to show they are really who they say they are? I think voter ID laws may increase the number of people that vote. It shows that being able to vote is important. Dan |

I forgot to put in the metalworking part of the post. Today I got the base for the drill/mill into the basement and got a lot of the parts mounted on the base. Working by myself it took a while to get the column attached to the base of the Drill/mill. Would have gone a lot quicker with two people.. Still have to get the X/Y table mounted and the electric motor, but they should be a lot easier than dealing with the column. Anyway no injuries. Dan |

And I forgot to mention my purchase of a Milwaukee portable band saw at the scrap yard. Nineteen lbs so $9.50 was the price. Would have been a real bargain if it actually worked. I will have to open it up and see why the motor runs but the blade does not move. And then see if I can pick out another one from the triwall with about twenty portable bandsaws that has a good drive and a different failure. Dan |

Dan He is ****ed off because it will end or sharply limit Democrats ability to commit widespread voter fraud. Which means....that any elections afterwards...will have to be won fairly...and again..that means that Democrats will no longer be winning as many elections. Voter fraud is an old and reliable custom in many Democrat areas...Chicago, Detroit etc etc...its "normal" And its on its way out. Tsk tsk tsk. Might be some very..very surprised Demonrat candidates in the elections from now on. Or they will retire gracefully before the next election cycle. Gunner "The socialist movement takes great pains to circulate frequently new labels for its ideally constructed state. Each worn-out label is replaced by another which raises hopes of an ultimate solution of the insoluble basic problem of Socialism, until it becomes obvious that nothing has been changed but the name. The most recent slogan is "State Capitalism."[Fascism] It is not commonly realized that this covers nothing more than what used to be called Planned Economy and State Socialism, and that State Capitalism, Planned Economy, and State Socialism diverge only in non-essentials from the "classic" ideal of egalitarian Socialism. - Ludwig von Mises (1922) |

You seem to want a system where it is easy to have voter fraud. No I'm laughing at a system engineered by the stupid and foolish that fails utterly to do what it claims to do. Voter ID laws do practically nothing to prevent the actual types of voting fraud that occur in real life. If you don't believe, look at the cases where these laws have been reviewed by the courts. In this study of 2068 cases of alledged voting fraud there were only 10 that voter ID might have prevented. The other 99.5% of voter fraud can continue unimpeded by voter ID laws. http://votingrights.news21.com/article/election-fraud/ |

If I go to the bank to cash a check written to me I already have my wallet in hand for the cash. It would be trivial to show ID. But if I was told I had to go get new ID before I was allowed to cash a check or board an airplane or buy a beer, I'd be ****ed. |

"David R. Birch" wrote: If we have elections with voter ID, that'll sort itself out. More people voting, fewer fraudulent ballots, works for me. How come the Iowa Republican caucuses don't require photo ID? The answer is they don't want the hassle. Yawn... Although I tend to be inclusive when considering who is eligible to vote, I also wonder whether someone who is incapable of surmounting the negligible hurdles in obtaining an appropriate ID would be competent to understand the issues they are asked to vote upon. The people who are capable are indeed voting and at higher participation rates than before mostly because they don't like the idea of hurdles put in their path to the voting booth. There is nothing like putting hurdles in front of voters to get them to believe their vote is important. Considering the tiny number of otherwise eligible voters with no valid ID, I doubt there would be much difference. There are estimated to be 21 million otherwise qualified voters in the US who would have to upgrade their ID. That is alot of voters your putting hurdles in front of and expecting they won't be ****ed and won't act on their displeasure inside the voting booth. 21 million of voting age unable to buy alcohol or cigarettes? Unable to use an airline or drive a car or receive govt assistance or enter a bar? Yeah, right. David |

Requiring ID is not going to motivate people who would not otherwise have voted to register and vote against the implementers of voter ID laws. All people without ID who would obtain the ID and vote were already voting Democrat. You don't know what you're talking about, as usual. |

Keep repeating that over and over and maybe someday even you will believe it. All people without ID who would obtain the ID and vote were already voting Democrat. Actually most of those who are suddenly made ineligible to vote weren't voting at all. You don't know what you're talking about, as usual. Talking to yourself again? |

Unable to use an airline or drive a car or receive govt assistance or enter a bar? Yeah, right. Go ahead pretend voters without the proper ID don't exist. i'm sure that will make them no longer ****ed off. I'm sure there are eligible voters without ID. OTOH, since getting an ID is nothing particularly complicated or expensive, if they want one they'll get it. If they can't do that, I doubt they would be able to remember who they were told to vote for anyway. On the third hand, since all we get to vote for are the clowns offered as Dems or Reps by the oligarchy, it won't make that much difference. David |

I don't think there are 30 million who don't buy alcohol, cigarettes, airline tickets or any of the many other things requiring ID. Requiring ID is not going to motivate people who would not otherwise have voted to register and vote against the implementers of voter ID laws. Keep repeating that over and over and maybe someday even you will believe it. Meanwhile, reality raises its ugly head and shows you to be wrong. All people without ID who would obtain the ID and vote were already voting Democrat. Actually most of those who are suddenly made ineligible to vote weren't voting at all. And probably didn't vote before ID, either. David |

There are nearly 30 million of voting age that don't have drivers license. Bull****. That would be close to 15 percent of all voters, even assuming all of those "30 million" [sic] are otherwise eligible. Being of voting age doesn't imply eligibility to vote. The vast majority of otherwise eligible voters who lack ID can obtain it easily. Requiring ID is not going to motivate people who would not otherwise have voted to register and vote against the implementers of voter ID laws. Keep repeating that over and over and You keep repeating your fairy tale to yourself, as I know you find it comforting. It is, however, only a fairy tale. All people without ID who would obtain the ID and vote were already voting Democrat. Actually most of those who are suddenly made ineligible to vote weren't voting at all. Your fairy tale is that some significant number of people who weren't voting when it was relatively easy are now going to register and vote when it's harder, and vote against the creep-ass crackers. Sorry, that's just a fairy tale, and you are irrational for believing it. |

They're ****ed off because they perceive that they have been targeted by those who are trying to take away their right to vote. Whether that is true or not is irrelevant to them. The fact that they are also being told that they don't exist makes them even more ****ed. |

Brennan Center for Illusory Left-wing Notions of Justice estimates that 11% of otherwise eligible voters lack ID, and of course that's an extravagant exaggeration. Extravagant as it is, their number is one third lower than yours. Yours is make-believe.
