Wyoming's House of Representatives has just passed a Voter ID law requiring all residents to show identification before voting. The bill also allows for poll registrars to refuse voting to Wyoming residents who cannot show voter ID.
The bill states:
AN ACT relating to elections; modifying the definition of acceptable identification; requiring that acceptable identification be presented before voting in person; providing that provisional ballots may be cast as specified; providing that in person voters may be challenged for failure to present acceptable identification; modifying department of transportation notification requirements for identification cards; making conforming amendments; and providing for an effective date.
. . .
Except as specifically provided otherwise, a person may vote only if he the person is a qualified elector, and only in the precinct in which he the person resides and, if voting in person, only if the person presents acceptable identification immediately before voting at the polling place or absentee polling place. If a person is unable to present acceptable identification immediately before voting at the polling place or absentee polling place, the person may vote by provisional ballot pursuant to W.S. 22‑15‑105.

Our State Legislatures are showing some backbone in moving forward new electionlaws.
That being said I am not seeing three items in these bills that are important to achieve Election Integrity.
1. Total ban on NO EXCUSE MAIL-IN ballots.
2. Present citizenship documents in order to register to vote.
3. Periodic re-registration of all voters every five or ten years.
“An Obama judge will overturn it just before the 2022 elections thus allowing no time for an appeal before that election.”
What needs to happen is that a consrervitive group needs to challenge it once it’s signed and force it through the courts well before the midterm elections.
Doesn’t matter. We have that in FL. It’s the machines that count the votes. Seminole County, FL went to Biden.
An impossibly. Suck on that FReepers
“””While I applaud Wyoming for doing this, Wyoming isn’t a state where massive voter fraud is occurring.”””
Last week I listened to a Wyoming Committee debate the WY election laws.
The common argument from the Democrat Legislatures and leftist organizations like ACLU and League of Women Voters was this: “”There is little evidence of fraud in Wyoming Elections, so if it ain’t broke, then no need to fix it””
Blue and swing states are the only places this is desperately needed. It should be mandatory, at least for federal elections, everywhere.
Here in the backwards state of Alabama we have had picture voter ID for sometime. We have paper ballots that the voter puts into the counting machine themselves. At my polling place they make you stand there watch the count change. Non driving license picture IDs were free the last I heard. I live in a rural, majority black county. If we can do it, every one should be able to get with the program. In my county folks are serious about voting because of the price that was paid to secure rights for everyone.
When I voted in Houston last November I was required to have a State ID that had an address that matches my Voter Registration. The vote fraud in Texas is from #$_&-+!!!!!! Absentee ballots because s###bags are to lazy to go vote in person.
Abolish absentee voting, require voters to appear in person and probably 75% of the opportunity for fraud disappears.
Its a start, but I expect law suits to get it removed.
I have no sympathy to gop today. They are not going to win. The problem is they still have fairness mentality toward election. They don’t view it as game of getting power. They got taken advance of by democrats. If you count counties nationwide controlled by gop, I’m pretty sure that gop controll more counties than democrats. So far I don’t see anything in what democrats have been doing beyond GOP. They could do the same at election as democrats do. But they don’t. They believe in fairness and ethics and morals or whatever, they insist one (legal) person one vote and photo ID (on their voters). That’s why they end up where they are today.
It should be passed into law as soon as possible so that if there are court challenges, they will be decided way before November 2022. Anyway the Supreme Court allowed gerrymandering to continue. I don’t hear many trolls on Free Republic say that gerrymandering will be stopped by liberal justices any more.
India has about a billion people—give or take a few million—and they manage to get voter ID to over 800 million of their voters. And they’re mostly dark-skinned. That blows our Lunatic Left’s arguments that OUR dark-skinned citizens are too stupid to get an ID here out of the water. I don’t consider that type of “soft” bigotry soft—it’s HARD RACISM.
Or at least in purple states, at a minimum.
“...Even if its signed into law the corrupt courts will deem it unconstitutional and overturn it. I would bet my life on this statement....”
Well, after every court in the land refused to hear any evidence of the election fraud that took place in November, I’d say there isn’t a court in the land that has “standing” to declare anything when it comes to election procedures...to hell with em. As my good friend from Maine always says...”let em all go piss up a stump..”
Good. And that’s the point. Secure rights for every citizen. I’m awfully sick of the establishment talking like we’re still living in 1954.
It only matters when the Governors sign it into law.
Legions of Progressive lawyers and NGOs will be heading there immediately.
I wouldn't discount the SCOTUS after what they have already done. Hiding in the corner like frightened kitties.
I saw what you just now did exactly right there.
Good, now use it to get rid of Liz...
