Poor babies. If they all had to show ID in all 50 states, we might be able to have more honest elections again. They are really needed when they are signing up to vote, so we can cull out those non-citizens like the Washington Mall murdering jihadist.
I am not required to show ID but *every time I go*, I make a point of not only showing my ID, but announcing that *everyone* should have to.
My [D] poll people dread my arrival.
The [R] people grin.
*However*, in 2012, my regular poll people were all gone, save two.
[they are all people I have literally known, my whole life]
They’d been replaced by goons who were skilled at making everyone nervous.
Even the [D] woman, who I’ve seen there every election since 1980, was jittery.
I asked where the other ladies were and she whispered “they’re not coming”.
The now-ancient guy who carries ballots back to the box was shaking so hard, it looked as if he was terrified and near tears.
The goons were hostile to all of us “regulars” but very friendly to the insanely large hordes of “new voters”, who I have *never* seen at the polls, *or* in this area.
There was also a huge new cardboard ‘monolith’ in the middle of floor, outlining how to vote when you have no ID and stating provisional ballots would be issued, no matter what.
When I left, I saw blacks and Hispanics, both of whom are scarce as hens’ teeth, here, *walking* up the road to the polling place, which is in the middle of nowhere.
Where were they walking *from*?
It was not until after the polls closed that it occurred to me, there is a truck stop not too far from there, with a large lot in the back, with *no* lights.
I can only assume that the lot was full of buses, that night.
Out here in hillbilly heaven, we got rick-rolled.
MD was a given for Obeyme *but* the ballot included votes for pot and homo marriage.
They were there to make sure MD rolled over, for both.
