It amazes me that people (basically, election-stealers) even MAKE the “argument” that requiring an ID (which is needed to drive a car, get a WIC debit card, get a job, and must be presented at the demand of law enforcement) is somehow “taking voting away” from people.
I guess voters are too stupid to apply for a free ID card (available in all jurisdictions).
Just the way liberals need them to be.
Who makes government IDs? Government employees, often SEIU members. If Government IDs are required, the SEIU will just make as many millions of extra people as they need, and have them issued absentee ballots. In some ways it will be easier this way to steal an election- previously when they wanted to get an extra vote in they would have to match it (normally after the polls close, and the poll watchers have gone home) with a voter who had not voted. With millions of extra people voting by absentee ballot, they have the entire campaign season to create extra absentee votes.
One prudent approach would be to require voters to thumbprint their ballot, and so mark their thumbs. That way any false ballot would provide legal evidence of their crime, if they voted twice. Most people would be a little shy about giving a prosecutor evidence of a felony, and such evidence could be checked for years afterwards.
Another would be to demand a non-government ID to an account with at least 500$ in it. That way people created out of nothing cost at least 500$, and welfare voters would at leaast get paid for committing a felony, and the crooks would have to pay that much for each false vote.
