100% no way to prove that is there? What does it say about your liberal leaders feeding you these things that common sense should tell you it’s bs.
Common sense would tell you that very few people would risk a felony conviction for something with such little gain as casting a single vote.

But it is not easy to get around the law. There are no facts that support your statement. It's just what you believe to be true. It isn't.
I wouldn't waste my time debating Marble mouth mike. He
says the same incoherent thing over and over again. Look at any of his posts. Nobody understands a word he says.

If you guys succeed in making a birth certificate worthless in proving citizenship, how will anyone be able to register to vote?

A question no right winger seems willing to answer.

Come on man! Please see above.

I’ve seen nothing like that, if so what would replace it? I know it works because I just used mine to renew my license, It does have to be the one from the state not the copy from the hospital as I tried that first.

Read your post and tell me something coherent you have ever written besides kiddie stuff.

Really.

Sorry but the reverse is also true. There is 100% no way that you can prove that I am wrong and you are right. Common sense should tell you that.


If I may avoid all of these pitiful posts, were you all lose your mind, my question was rhetorical. The answer is yes we all know that. So there’s a follow up question not so rhetorical.
A person comes to a voting booth and the docent sitting there unpaid has to be sure he is a citizen. And by the way handwriting does not work. The docent is my aunt Plum and she has had no training in handwriting analysis.. big big point.
So let us discuss what would be acceptable proof of citizenship. Keeping in mind, the person still has to identify who he is, it is not enough to hand the docent a form that says citizen on it.
100 lawmakers are discussing this as we speak and certainly have done a lot of homework to be sure that citizens prove themselves. Assume all y’all agree with that, what would be their best process?


Congratulations to the forum, all those posts, and not one mention of the name Trump. A record.

Let’s say we have something so important like our presidential elections, we see holes. Now tell me, should we make them as secure and honest as possible for all the people of our country and those running? This is why so many people from both sides wants them shored up. Is this common sense?

Come on, man, have a conversation. There's nothing in what you said previously that I haven't responded to in a serious manner with facts. Maybe you could try that?

The question of "what would replace it" is what I asked you.

You are trying to close pinpricks and very isolated examples by making voting more difficult for everyone. Why not go the other way? For every birth in the U.S., creat an automatic voting record online. For every passport issued, create a voting registration. For every citizen getting a driver's license, create an automatic voting registration. If you do that, then the number of people who aren't registered will stand out and they can be scrutinized when they want to vote. Oops, sorry, I forgot the intent is not to get people to vote but to stop the wrong people from voting. Got it.

I already showed you that handwriting is more reliable than relying on a photo ID (does Aunt Plum have training in facial analysis techniques esp. when someone has altered their appearance or expertise in identifying a fake photo ID - of which millions exist in the US?).
