The solution is very simple. Pass a law requiring a Guberment issued photo ID. Within that law allow for a 2 year grace period. After two years, no ID no vote. I'm sure two years is more than enough time to get an ID.

As far as absentee balloting, all absentee ballots must be cast no less than 60 days prior to an election. That way when the election rolls are printed, it can noted that taht person has voted. The absentee ballots themselves can be dropped off in person at a voter registration office so ID can be checked before acceptance of ballot. For service members overseas, they can be collected by the unit personnel office and forwarded to the appropiate secretary of states office. Others who are out of state can go to the appropriate location in the state they are in with a stamped envelope. Have this I'd checked and give the ballot to the registrar who will place it in out going mail. Overseas, at the embassy office.

If someone misses out, oh well. Ample oppurtunity was given.

Pass a law against assault weapons? “Oh no! That would not stop crime!” but let’s just deny people with expired drivers licenses the right to vote – that will keep us safe.

This is the same crap as not allowing people to fly without a picture ID.

Because it is not needed. You have to be on the voter roll and know you are there in order to vote.

What is a “valid” reason to not ban assault weapons?

What is a “valid” reason to not have license to own a dog?

even if you don't know how to drive or your license was taken away the DMV will still issue you a picture ID... some high schools and most colleges issue them... some places of employment.. 🤔
seems like if you could find your way to da polls once (or six times) every 4 years you could get to the DMV at some time or another.... 😟

You can't really function in the USA (or most other countries) without a valid ID....but ask people to show it to vote and the liberal panty-wastes get all freaked out.

Truth be told, the only segments of society that probably don't have some form of valid photo ID are those who live in pockets of dire poverty, the very old, feeble, (may not have renewed driver's licenses, etc.), possibly the mentally ill, those incarcerated who legally can't vote anyway, and the HUGE number of undocumented folks who have crossed over the border and may not have had the chance to forge documents. Well even if they haven't forged papers, they can get registered to vote at any DMV when they get their driver's license. These are more likely to vote Democrat IMHO. Thus, the Republican opposition.


Having said that, it is a travesty how the Democrats have prevented many of the military votes from counting as well.

voter fraud is a real concern to many people, should be to all. calling anyone a racist for pointing it out is insane.

In-person voter fraud or impersonation on Election Day is virtually non-existent.

ID's would be a waste of time and money, IMO.

Fraud will occur but not at any substantial level to cause the election to go one way or the other. JMO

^ It is generally acknowledged that the illegal vote probably threw out Dornan & replaced him with Sanchez in Orange County.


Brew, you don't believe that the Democrats DON'T want the military vote (from abroad), which tends to go Republican, to count for less, in other words made more difficult? Not sure what big kids taking my milk/snack money as a child have to do with that.
