Quote from PiggyBank:
Many universities have foreign students attending who are not American citizens and have no right to vote. Why is it a big deal to prove you're a citizen?
Quote from bigarrow:
Piggy the ONLY reason the reps are doing this is becase they think this will be fewer votes for the dems. There is no deeper meaning than that, it's just making laws trying to win elections. Just like gerrymandering has no other purpose than to skew the vote in favor of the party in charge of defining the maps. Don't trust the politicians politicians piggy.
Quote from PiggyBank:
lol I don't trust politicians but in this case it really doesn't matter why they are doing it, it is the right thing to do. We have millions of illegals and non citizens living here and they don't have the right to vote, they don't have any say at all. So in order to protect OUR rights we need to make sure voters are in fact American citizens. Like navin said there is no argument against this.
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
This is hte kind of issue the republicans should be pushing constantly. Ordinary low information voters know they have to have valid ID to do all sorts of things. Is voting less important than buying a beer?
Quote from Lucrum:
WRONG pecker breath. It's to stop voter fraud. The ONLY reason democraps oppose voter ID is so they can continue to cheat.
Quote from bigarrow:
Also from the article***"The measure also shortens the early-voting period before Election Day, ends same-day registration "*** I'm sure the reps statisticians came up with these thinking that would also cut down on votes for the dems.
In your opinion is this also the "right thing to do" or is it only right because it may reduce votes for the dems?
Quote from PiggyBank:
IMO that is unimportant but i don't necessarily think it's the right thing to do. I can't see any reason why early voting is a problem, but same day registration might be if they don't have time to check your status, or to see if you have already voted. i don't know.
The same argument you are trying to make can be used against dems. They only want the same day registration so they can bring bus loads of lemmings to overwhelm the polls on election day and vote for their guy.
