NYC Mayor Explains ID Requirements to Shovel Snow [semi-satire]

New York City's democratic-socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani explained why he requires two forms of IDs to shovel snow, but opposes IDs for casting a ballot.

"Casting a ballot is a human right that should not be infringed by requiring the voter to prove his or her identity," the Mayor said. "It would be like requiring an ID to be allowed to breathe. In contrast, shoveling snow is a job that pays $30 per hour of labor. It would be fiscally irresponsible for me to spend public money without knowing who I am paying to do the work."

"Republicans say that without requiring IDs to vote people who are ineligible could still cast ballots," Mamdani said. "I say how can any person be ineligible to vote as many times as he or she pleases? The whole 'one-man-one-vote' restriction doesn't allow highly-motivated voters to demonstrate the passion of their commitment to a candidate or cause by casting a quantity of ballots they deem commensurate with the importance of ensuring that the election results come out the right way."

In related news, both Mayor Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Casio Cortez (D-NY) are encouraging illegal immigrants to register for free child care. "These are the types of benefits President Biden promised them when he invited them to come into our country," she said. "It would be tragic if they fail to take what was promised to them." Mamdani is demanding that Gov Hochul fund these benefits "because these immigrants' need is the only justification required for compelling the able to pay for them."

Voting is only a right if you are the person who is legally entitled to vote. The rest of us have an inalienable right to have our legal votes protected from dilution or nullification by votes submitted by people not entitled to vote.

This man is a moron.

Of importance would be whether the worker did the work to earn the $30/hour, not who he was.

He’s lying through his teeth. He needed them to bring IDs because FEMA won’t reimburse invoices for work done by illegal alien invaders.
