I don't understand how anyone could get through their day in America without an ID.
Can't drive. Can't buy a beer. Can't use a credit card.
The list goes on and on....

It is a constitutional right!

Nice try. Buying a gun and voting are not the same thing. There are background checks for gun purchases because certain people don't have the right to purchase one - criminals, mental patients etc.
but it's a constitutional right to own a firearm, dont you think that if we have to show an ID for a gun then we should have to show ID to vote for the person controlling the nukes? are you supporting letting just anyone vote for a nuclear war? holy shit koods. that's why you're so adamant that hillary become president, she's going to stop global warming with a nuclear winter
I'm glad to see you finally acknowledge that we already have common sense gun control measures in place. now would you kindly tell your liberal and progressive democrat thug friends to obey the laws

every state i've lived in, a standard id, non-driver license costs money. not as much as a driver license, necessarily, but something
This true. So why can't there be a state issued voter ID that one can obtain without cost? If these laws are intended to prevent fraud and not disenfranchise anyone who has the legal right to vote, then the state should go out of their way to make proving your identity as simple as possible, which would include not making someone pay money.
In maryland, it costs $40 to get a non-dl ID. If you are poor, $40 is a lot of money, especially if the only reason for spending it is to vote.
i'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you about voter disenfranchisement. but to claim it only for blacks is ridiculous, imo. there are just as many impoverished white people, equally applicable in this situation
i have no answers for you
I'm not claiming it is only for black people. There are certainly white people who will not vote because they don't have the right form of ID. The point is that black people are much more likely to not have the types of ID required. But it's not just that black people are less likely, it's that poor people are less likely. And other minorities are less likely.

Quote:
A federal appeals court decisively struck down North Carolina’s voter identification law on Friday, saying its provisions deliberately “target African-Americans with almost surgical precision” in an effort to depress black turnout at the polls.
The sweeping 83-page decision by a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upended voting procedures in a battleground state about three months before Election Day. That ruling and a second wide-ranging decision on Friday, in Wisconsin, continued a string of recent court opinions against restrictive voting laws that critics say were created solely to keep minority and other traditionally Democratic voters away from the polls.

I will give Georgia credit, they are one of the only states to provide a free ID for voting. Not that obtaining it isn't a hassle. It would be a lot easier to just allow people to use their voter registration. Even you think that is reasonable.

somehow these people dont have a social security card which costs nothing, of course that would require an ID, something that costs them a small amount and lasts for 8-10 years before having to be renewed. they manage to not have any source of income due to this lack of ID since you have to verify citizenship or residency in order to be employed in the US. immigrants have an ID, why do so many citizens have no ID that actually proves their identity? are they fugitives? clearly they pay no taxes since they cant work but somehow manage to get money in order to eat and have shelter. what gives. what kind of crookedness is this?

I don't believe you have used your registration card. If you are using your voter registration card, then they aren't following the law, as that is not an accepted form of identification.
This is the list of acceptable forms of ID in Georgia straight from their website http://sos.ga.gov/index.php/elections/georgia_voter_identification_requirements2
- Any valid state or federal government issued photo ID, including a free ID Card issued by your county registrar's office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS)
- A Georgia Driver's License, even if expired
- Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state
- Valid U.S. passport ID
- Valid U.S. military photo ID
And before you claim that the free ID card issued by the county registrars or DDS is what you are talking about... That is only available to someone without any of the other forms of ID. It is not your voter registration card. You cannot use your voter registration card to vote in Georgia or Texas.
Georgia's law is less restrictive than most. Like I said, at least they allow you to get a free ID to vote.
Meanwhile, you still haven't answered my question... Why isn't a state issued university of Texas student ID acceptable, but a gun license is? And you aren't allowed to say its because the student ID doesn't have an address, since neither do passports or military IDs.

With the exception of Georgia. Money. There is still the hassle and effort required to get these IDs. Nobody is saying these laws were designed to make it impossible for someone to vote (even though there are many cases where they cannot acquire documents required) What these laws do is make voting more difficult for certain groups to do so. A rich suburbanite, is almost certainly going to have a drivers license. For them, there is nothing more they have to do. They can just show up. If you're poor and live in the city, you may not have a drivers license. For them, you need to go to an office, probably spend the whole day there and pay a fee if you want to be able to vote. and that is how you suppress the vote, make it harder for one group to vote than another.

to answer your question, a gun license requires a federal background check and the holder is required to be a US citizen, it also doesnt have an address on it while a a student ID is not a state or federally issued ID and it doesnt require proof if citizenship or even legal resident alien status, in fact foreign nationals often attend schools in the US and allowing it without some proof of citizenship would certainly allow foreign nationals to vote in our elections which would skew results, something liberals are so fond of allowing
never once did I mention anything about an address, you may be confusing me with someone else

you're certainly implying it, so if these laws dont actually prohibit someone from obtaining the required ID to obtain a voter's ID card then how exactly are you claiming that they're disenfranchised? because of their own irresponsibility in failing to obtain an ID card
Quote:

and a wealthy or even middle class 'urbanite' may not have a drivers license, in fact atlanta is full of people that dont have a drivers license but they do have ID cards. it seems that in areas with public transportation people forego the luxury of a drivers license but they still want to cash the paycheck they work for, they still want to have jobs so they can afford to buy food and clothes and have a shelter, they just dont want the added expenses of a car

oh, so someone would be a little inconvenienced if they had to get a state issued ID, I guess that would require then to give up a day of smoking blunts, drinking malt liquor and slangin' crack. in order to work in the US a person has to have a state or federal ID AND a social security card, clearly if they dont have an ID they arent working legally. how would they be getting their money?

No, you do not need to have a home to register

You do not need a photo ID to get welfare either.

You're absolutely right. But, it is less likely. These laws target demographic trends, and you have to look at the entire voting population as a whole. The laws may make it difficult for that one middle class voter to vote republican, but it makes it difficult for five poor voters to vote democratic.
Don't take my word for it.

Why can't they just develop some kind of computer system where people have to input a valid social security number to vote. This way illegal aliens can't vote, if somebody tries to make somebody who is deceased vote it flags a notice, or if somebody tries to vote twice it flags a notice.
The only time I can see this being a problem is if somebody's social security number was stolen, but I doubt if it was stolen the thief would be using it to vote, especially if you were required to register some kind of fingerprint or something in addition to the SS number.

I guess since most would vote democrat you wouldnt want them to be disenfranchised

bullshit. what prevents them from obtaining proper ID? are they being denied the ID or are they simply choosing to do without it?
