I didn’t bring it up 

these aren't your words?

 

A very liberal state requiring ID to get health insurance.    Will the ACLU be staunchly advocating to get rid of these restrictions?   Or does that only apply to voting?  According to you and the ACLU, minority groups and the impoverished won’t be able to access these benefits designed for them because they have no way of getting an ID??  But yet, somehow they are able to get one and sign up for benefits.    Hmmmmm

Yep.   Seems to not have the constitutional rights words in there though.

The conversation you jumped in on and replies to and was one I was having with someone else in this thread was on voter ID impacts.  
 

My link wasn’t in regards to healthcare as a whole which I’m sure you understand, because I was specific about the signing up for benefits component of it and the ID requirement of signing up.

i wonder what trumps historic announcement will be tonight?

"America is in rough shape.  America needs a leader!  America needs someone tough!!!  Please send money to my SuperPac to make sure someone gets elected to make America great again!!!!"

 

He'll continue to walk the fine line of making an announcement so he can continue to grift without having to follow rules.

Read this “fact” sheet…

 

Voter ID laws deprive many voters of their right to vote, reduce participation, and stand in direct opposition to our country’s trend of including more Americans in the democratic process. 

 

This is just simply not true which is shown by the “increase” in vote totals after states have implemented Voter ID

 

 

 

How many of these 11% are under the age of 18 and don’t have a drivers license.  Roughly 20% are under 18 in general.  

  • Millions of Americans Lack ID. 11% of U.S. citizens – or more than 21 million Americans – do not have government-issued photo identification.
  •  
  •  
  • The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.3

These same people often travel the same distance to see certain medical specialists a couple of times per year.   To do so once in their lifetime doesn’t seem like an undoable venture. 
 

 

  • Voter ID laws reduce turnout among minority voters. Several studies, including a 2014 GAO study, have found that photo ID laws have a particularly depressive effect on turnout among racial minorities and other vulnerable groups, worsening the participation gap between voters of color and whites.8
     
  • Recent voter turnout shows this to not be true. 
     
  •  

 

You keep refuting statistical facts, but you're not bringing any evidence to support your argument.

I am confused as hell. First you say this:

Should we get all hot and bothered when said “collector” pushes vulnerable people to vote a certain way.   I’m sure you are well aware that not all these Ballots are completely filled out prior to collection. 

 

Then you say this:

These things aren’t gonna change, which is why I’ve said R’s need to start doing a better job of reaching out to the low frequency voters and start collecting “harvesting” their votes and stop just waiting for Election Day voters to vote. 

 

So, you're saying that Dems are "breaking the law," and in the next breath you say that "Republicans need to do the same thing?"

Problem is Dems aren't breaking the law. He wants to change the law because the current system means they might have an easier time cheating - despite no evidence that they are.

 

Repubs can't do the same thing because they've spent decades telling their voters that collecting ballots is bad.

I mean, let's be real here.

 

The reason why the Republican Party lost their chance at the Senate and will just barely squeak across the finish line in the House is because the leaders of the party embraced the crazy in this country.  People like MTG, Boebert, and others.  Politicians without any kind of a backbone.

 

It doesn't matter how many laws, legislative things, gerrymandering that happens.  If they continue to subscribe to:

  • Cockamamie "alternative facts" about people stealing elections....
  • Cockamamie "alternative facts" about people "harvesting ballots"....
  • Cockamamie "alternative facts" about people fixing ballots....
  • An unwillingness to do their freaking jobs....
  • A willingness to continue embracing this nut that says that he's this genius leader and he's likely going to be in prison in the next couple years - which is why he keeps running for office....

they will continue to lose elections.

 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again. 

 

It's been six years of this guy. 

It's relentless. 

It's non stop.

 

People are tired of it.  Anyone who is willing to say no to EVERYTHING that their opponent says is just an idiot.  EVERYBODY has some redeeming quality about them (most do, at least).  You can't say "I'll never agree with that person."
