WASHINGTON, D.C. — With President Trump and Republicans campaigning hard to shore up election integrity in the U.S., congressional Democrats agreed to negotiate on the issue on the condition that death certificates be added to the list of acceptable forms of voter ID.
Though initially opposed to any form of legislation mandating voter ID, Democrats surprisingly came forward with a proposal to compromise by guaranteeing that presenting a current death certificate would be accepted as valid identification to vote in elections.
"It's our base's most widely used form of documentation," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We didn't want to open any kind of discussion with Republicans about requiring voter ID unless it included death certificates. If they're not willing to consider granting us that request, then it's a no-go. How would our voters be expected to contribute to democracy if their death certificates aren't accepted as identification?"
Democrats stressed that including death certificates on the list of valid forms of identification was vital to any potential agreement on the issue. "This is about making sure our voters aren't disenfranchised," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "While it's often challenging for our supporters to obtain drivers' licenses and other forms of official ID, we have millions and millions of registered Democrats who have valid death certificates. Their voices must continue to be heard."
At publishing time, Democrats had updated their demand to allow documentation from every other country in the world be acceptable to vote in the United States.
Brilliant.
bttt
That may be their all time best title.
I had a big argument with my Grandad. I told him he has to stop voting for Democrats! Satisfied that I had finally released my anger at him I placed another flower on his grave.
They’re certainly not a disqualifying factor in some places.
How is this satire?
And people people who be stayin on vacant lots by tha dozen too. It is the “You know s” they mails in vote ballots that gotta be counted.
Oh my gosh, brilliant indeed!!!
That may be their all time best title.

Agreed. By far!
Wonderful! You’ve found a way to satisfy both sides. The R’s want voter ID and the D’s want their core deceased voting block to keep electing them.
Yay!

I can’t wait until Gravy Newscum starts passing out “reparations” checks on the graves of all African American graves in Cauliphonya.
Been like that for a very long time ,LOL
Love this!
Don’t give them any ideas.
ID for Medicaid, CHPS, SNAP/EBT, WIC, TANF, Sec8 should be acceptable as voter ID. Then Deloitte will have a reason for continuing eligibility to the dead and DUPS.
