Everything governmental is corrupt. Why would one think the election process is any different?

I quit voting a long time ago. I equate it to a monkey pushing a button in a scientific experiment...only with less impact on society.

That is true, all that should be used is some form of unique ID (ssn or such) address and name. Party IS irrelevant in the issue.

There you go AJ, right on target. The states with common sense see no issue overall with identifying yourself with something real, to vote, the Progressive states are the ones trying to muddy everything with "bring a note from mom and vote" policies.

Well, I don't.
I vote only one time in one place.
I'm more than happy to help isolate and identify fraudsters who vote more times and in more places than I do~
~as well as those who should not be voting at all such as ex-cons, illegals and the walking dead.

In Idaho, we had a big outcry here when the government wanted to make people's gun and hunting records public. I see my voting data as at least as important as the data about my firearms.

One thing I don't mind is presenting a picture ID every time I vote. Something crooked Eric Holder called racist.
And more seriously routing out voter fraud is something I'd be more than happy to help out with.
The idea of investigating voter fraud is the last thing the Jackass Party would care to consider for some obvious reason.
I'd have a problem with people coming into my house and counting my guns.
It's not the same thing as letting dead people and illegals vote for presidents.

So as long as you believe you're innocent, you don't mind people searching your stuff? Interesting.

Exactly why I don't want the government demanding that I have to show one of their approved IDs to exercise my right to vote.

Well, enough of them showed up to vote for dope.,...

Bought into? And no, our freedom is only what we allow each other, the government wants it all...and controlling who votes is one part of it..

I don't know, Democrats seem to want proof of non mainstream ethnic background...so probably not, you have to "look" as well as "sound" non American to rate their "mercy".

So, if you tell the Oregon officials that you "feel" non-white and transgendered, would they let you vote with a gas bill?

This is just too freaking obvious~
I never committed voter fraud.
Ta da! There, all done.

Hello Nickursis,
I see your point. I know well how it works here in Arizona but not in every other state. There should be some basic uniformity in voting credentials common to all 50 states. Arizona is more right leaning and Constitutional, I sometimes forget that common sense isn't that common..

In states which have registration by party (which
Virginia does not), I don't think that that information
should be given to the Federal government, which
party the voter is registered in.

Is that what you say when the cops show up without a warrant or the government wants to tap your phone? "Oh, it's fine, because I have nothing to hide"?

Sorry, if the government is demanding my personal information, I want to know what they want it for.

Wow, you've really bought into it, haven't you? Well, it's a free country. Sort of.

Great, the fewer Colorado voters that actually vote, the better our government could get. Great job President Trump, can you find something that will work on the left and right coast? Seems we need a license these days to do almost anything, but apparently they don't need to legal or conform with the actual laws that require them. Somehow the left will turn this into another distraction from their real agenda.

Sorry, but 12 years ago when I went to vote, I was told I can't vote twice. You see, someone had already cast MY vote. I am absolutely for showing ID at the polls. After all, you have to have ID to buy a gun, and that is a right too.

Voting and participating in a socialist communist democracy amounts to nothing when the leaders respond to those who write checks not those who write letters, complain (whine), and threaten to vote them out of office which almost never happens.

How does the government restrict your ability to vote by requiring you to have an ID of some kind? I understand the issue of any ID requirement as anethema, but when you have a nation o such porous borders as ours, and the long history of "allowing" the poor people to become voters with no proof, they have now tainted the system to where anyone can vote with no citizenship at all. Might as well allow anyone on the world to vote in our elections then.

No, your argument is perfectly valid in my view, as it is concurrent logically. The equal requirements means all 50 states have to have the same level of proof for an election impacting them, your "gum wrapper theory means that local area lives with their results (although when you have a state run by non citizens, that could become a Federal issue). The whole "you are preventing (insert special interest group her) from voting, is BS of a super chunky kind, as the requirements should be what is required to get on a plane. If I need 2 forms of ID to get on a plane, then I should to vote. Make the whole thing concurrent across the board and it would help. The issue gets worse when you start the "easy voter programs" like vote by mail, as they can never keep track of who is still alive or there. You need to have to have some positive form of control at each election, not just once. If you vote by mail, then you should have drop off places and prove who you are when you get you ballot dropped off.

Because I'm much more worried about my government restricting my ability to vote than the imaginary case of someone pretending to be me to vote. Everyone around here knows me anyway.

Exactly, although the real test will come AFTER the Convention, as I am sure the political machine will stop all attempts at passing the changes, because most of them will be very bad for them. But we must use the tools we have at hand....and try to make it work.

Also, just to show how "hard" it is, and dysfunctional, I had to pay 55.00 to get a certified copy of my birth certificate, to get my drivers license in Oregon renewed. Yet they have provisions for "non white" people to use bill statements etc to get the same license. Their justification is that they may not be able to get a copy from another country. Really? That is why you should be happy there is at least some requirement. Although in Oregon, you can register once with a license, then they never, ever check on you again, it has been 20 years since I registered and they still send me ballots. I could have move to Florida 15 years ago and they would never know, since it is all vote by mail. I can easily see tens of thousands of "voters" voting here with no body attached to the pen.
