Seems every year democrats find another way to compromise elections in the US. In 2016 "Russian interference" was all the rage.

There was no end to Adam Schiff's bullsh*t about there being evidence for collusion "in plain sight" although no one else could ever see it.

Trump only won because of Russian collusion. But there's a problem with that.

James Clapper had to admit that there was no evidence of Russian collusion.

democrats vehemently oppose anything that strengthens the integrity of the vote. They are constantly battering down the walls that protect it. They would see foreign nationals vote, they already push illegals to vote.

There are times the Federal government insists you have an ID for. Seven of them:

1. Welfare Benefits:
2. Registration for Buying Guns:
3. Petition Your Government:
4. Right of Assembly:
5. Right to Marry:
6. Freedom of Movement:
7. Public Accommodations:

There are a number of other activities which demand a photo ID.:

1. Boarding an airplane
2. Writing a check
3. Cashing a check
4. Using a credit card
5. Driving a motor vehicle
6. Applying for a business license
7. Applying for permission to hold a protest or rally
8. Securing employment
9. Purchasing a house or real estate
10. Renting a domicile
11. Renting a motor vehicle
12. Purchasing a firearm (Includes BB guns)
13. Applying for a hunting license (waived for 16 and 17 year olds when their legal guardian provides a photo ID)
14. Applying for a fishing license (waived for 16 and 17 year olds when their legal guardian provides a photo ID)
15. Purchasing alcoholic beverages
16. Purchasing tobacco or products that contain nicotine
17. Purchasing a motor vehicle
18. Initial registration of a motor vehicle
19. Applying for a building permit
20. Receiving prescription medicine
21. Purchasing OTC medicine that contains pseudoephedrine
22. Serving on jury duty
23. Getting a bank account
24. Cash transactions of $5000.00 or greater
25. Sales tax exemption for people aged 80 and above

And there's another big one- getting into a DNC convention or fund raiser requires a photo ID.

What does it take to get a photo ID? Let's use New York as an example

• Visit your local NYSDMV office.
• Complete an Application for Driver License or Non-Driver ID Card (Form MV-44).
• Provide proof of your name, identity, and SSN.
• Pay the identification card fee ($13 for 8 years, $9 for 4 years).

The requirements for an IDNYC card are here.

There are a myriad of ways to prove your identity and residency and they are not oppressive.

The argument against voter ID is usually that it's too much of a burden to demand them. And, of course, it's racist. When I go to purchase alcoholic beverages I am very frequently asked to provide a photo ID (one is not to assume age). If you look at the above lists, it's simply not reasonable to argue that those on the lower economic rung of the ladder never engage in any of those activities. If you really want one, you can get one.

But put that aside for a moment.

This year mail-in ballots were in style. Big time. democrats used the pandemic as a ruse to flood the country with mail-in ballots, warning that it wasn't safe to vote while being socially distanced in a controlled environment. These would be the same morons like Gavin Newsom, Steve Adler, London Breed (that sounds to me like a kind of terrier) and Nancy Pelosi who flout the rules they use to slam their slaves, er, constituents. It's safe for them to dine, go to Cabo or hit the hairdresser in between bites of caviar and $13 per pint ice cream at the French Laundry (has that been closed yet?) all without the need for masks.

Millions voted safely. If you can go to Walmart, Costco or Target safely you can vote safely in person. If you can buy lotto tickets, Old Crow or nips of Popov you can vote safely in person.

There is no excuse.

I am all for absentee balloting- especially for the elderly, the infirm and the military, but something else must happen.

Now, about mail-in balloting. It's easy to understand why democrats  are so drawn to them. They're simple to defraud. There was a time when even the left recognized that.

Someone put an op-ed in our local newspaper. Our city trash collection service is changing over to a new contractor.

If you have a “large” family, and want an additional trash bin, you must submit a NOTARIZED statement to indicate that you qualify..... but to vote, ? nothing needed.

Every time Dems come with some voting innovation, it is always to make the rules more open to fraud.
Bill Clinton motor voter bill made joke of the registration process.
Mail in voting, internet voting, ballot harvesting. All very prone to fraud.
Fontes even came with an idea that you could cross over your vote and fill in somebody else - that was stopped by AZ legislature - otherwise anybody could fix any vote during the count.
All those ideas are great if everybody was an angel. However all those make a joke out of the voting process.
