With Republicans threatening to reverse LGBTQ civil rights and generally undermine democratic elections, there’s a lot riding on the November midterms. But Voter ID laws across the nation could seriously impair transgender people from voting.

New research from The Williams Institute found that out of 878,300 eligible transgender voters in the U.S., as many as 203,700 could be blocked from voting because their government-issued IDs don’t reflect their gender identity — that’s nearly one-fourth of all eligible trans voters.

If a trans person arrives at a polling place with a government-issued ID containing an incorrect gender or name, they may be turned away by poll workers who think they’re trying to “impersonate” another individual.

There are probably some states that don’t allow them to change the genders sex in their ID. I’ve always opposed reissuing birth certificates with a new gender or new name. But some states allow that stuff. Maybe even Georgia.

[usurper]

Yes. It could stop them from voting under their fake, make believe names.

Well I guess if you consider yourself non-binary you should be able to vote at lest twice./s

These people are sick. It’s simple for anyone to avoid this entire transgender thing. Just act like the sex on your birth certificate. I have no compassion for these people. Compassion is for children. These people need a heavy dose of reality.

Yes GREAT…mentally I’ll should not be allowed to vote…

[FlingWingFlyer]

If they’re confused about which gender they are, how the hell will they ever be able to figure out which political party they belong to?

[pelican001]

Good

[Allegra]

I don’t see the problem. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“...poll workers who think they’re trying to “impersonate” another individual.”

That is EXACTLY what they are trying to do. Men impersonating women and vice versa. Author Daniel Villarreal unintentionally told the truth!

[Cobra64]

Promise? 👍

[Verginius Rufus]

Probably 99% voting for the Democrats and 1% for the Green Party or Socialist Workers Party.

Voter ID laws could stop nearly 200,000 transgender people from voting in the 2022 midterms. . .

Stop them they should.

There's obviously been a Dem plot to have trannies vote twice--once as a "he," then as a "she."

I thought I was kidding, but that's probably what's been going on.

[bert]

If they have no ID then they do not exist.

Since they don’t exist, they must be prohibited from voting

[TribalPrincess2U]

They bring it on themselves.

[gitmo]

Lying on your documents causes problems.

200,000? Forget that. Go for broke. 200,000,000 transgender voters!

[EastTexasTraveler]

“The mentally ill should not be allowed to vote at all.”

I agree.

[Howie66]

Nor should they be anywhere in Public Employment, at any level.

[humblegunner]

They decided that they were better. So much better, in fact, that they fancy themselves specially deserving of the attention, respect and obedience of the People.

That reminds me of another group of folks.

Pretty much exactly. Odd, isn't it?

[mfish13]

The Libs say that it is really not that many trans in the US.

[EasySt]

You mean Trolls like you, telling people they need to be in their cage or deserve to get beaten?

Yes, very odd indeed.
