ID Ideas

Guest post
by Suzann Darnall

We just had primaries yesterday. I had already voted early ‘cause I like to get it done. That way I avoid the rush and don’t have to worry if something else comes up on election day. I was very happy to see they are still requiring a photo ID for us to vote here. I wish that was required everywhere. But, I am also concerned that the requirement for a photo ID will still not protect our elections from voter fraud.

Some places are now giving photo IDs to illegal immigrants. Which means non-citizens may well continue to be able to vote in our elections. In other places organizations are stealing mail-in ballots or using identities of the dead to obtain mail-in ballots. Then, we have the voter machine “errors”, as well as the stuffed ballot boxes or the missing ballot boxes. Don’t even get me started on the people who have been found to have voted multiple times in a single election. And, anyone who believes voter fraud does not exist is not paying attention to the numbers.

I think it makes me even more angry about the lack of ID requirements for voting when they require it for so many other things, including driving, purchasing weapons, buying cigarettes and alcohol, or getting into movies with certain ratings. Why do they try to protect or restrict so many things in our society, but do not adequately safeguard that most precious right of an American citizen? The right to select the government we want to protect and defend us.

We are hearing a lot about background checks and age limits being raised. Yet there is no real investigation into the backgrounds of voters and the voting age is 18 years. So, why on earth is is okay for an 18 year old who is virtually unverified to vote for our government, but not okay for an 18 year old without background check to buy a gun? Surely our entire nation is put just at much at risk by compromised elections as it is by guns possibly making their way into the wrong hands.

Oh, my bad! Our government has already been party to putting guns in the wrong hands. Can all y’all remember the “Fast and Furious” gun-trafficking program? Maybe if we took as much care about registering voters as we do about purchasing guns, we would have less incompetent administrations doing idiotic things like “Fast and Furious”.

Anyway, it’s just an idea.

DNC Required Voter ID and Paper Ballots for Chair Vote.

krakatoa reports at Ace of Spades,

Irony: DNC Required Voter ID and Paper Ballots for Chair Vote.

You could feed all the villages of the world with the intellectual pretzels baked by Progressives.

“We have to make sure that we can not just count the ballots but verify every name and signature,” Brazile said as party members began applauding. “And I want to make sure that at the conclusion of all of our votes, that you, the members of this party, will be able to review those ballots.”

Commenter TheJamesMadison writes,

It's voter suppression.

Why won't they let undocumented Democrats vote?

Commenter Broseidon writes,

Well duh, this is an important vote, it's not something picayune like, uh...President of the United States....

Roland THTG explains,

They just didn't want that mukin fuzzy to be the DNC chair.

Astro Mike further explains,

Well, see they have to check the IDs and ballots because...these are after all democrats, and they will lie and cheat without remorse to win.

They understand each other better than you think.

Going for the dead vote

The People's Cube brings us this news:

The swing states' Democrat Party chairpersons have always been able to correctly predict a massive turnout of the embalmed. Anticipating strong necrophobic resistance from Tea Party types and other conspiracy theory aficionados, Democrat leaders in the House and the Senate vowed to preempt the living by expanding civil and voting rights of the decomposed by eliminating the voter ID requirement.

The dearly departed have risen for the Democrats in past elections in large numbers, and this year the Democrat strategists predict a record turnout. Back in 2008 and 2012, many non-breathing humans have been reportedly spotted walking about the Main Streets of the smaller towns of Ohio and Wisconsin, heading in the direction of the polls, some in shredded outfits, painfully dragging their bones, trailing dirt and streams of formaldehyde. The cost of cleanup has never been an issue as it's always been paid for by the losers.

In Brooklyn, Clinton Headquarters moved with urgency to motivate the exhaling-impaired to shrug six feet of compacted dirt and get themselves to the polls once or twice. Given that this may be the most important election of their afterlives, mere disability like personal decomposition will not do as an excuse not to vote.
