Our county only does Drivers Licenses one day a week from 8-11. It's always been that way. They issue state ID's everyday during business hours.

Absentee ballots have a place. I'm thinking about homebound elderly and college students.

I would think so too. In (liberal) WA they went to all mail in ballots, there are no more polling places. After how hard they had to work to steal the 2004 election they switched to an easier method.

I never said "minorities" either.
The who specifically will be disenfranchised? All the poor, elderly, minority, non-drivers, pretty much everyone I know had a legal photo ID, so again, Who will be disenfranchised?

Happy for you. Just because you have doesn't mean they aren't supposed to be required.

if the person works 10am - 8 pm at night, because they need to, and the DMV is only open from 8 am to 3pm - and many DMV's are no longer open M-F (having furlough schedules) or the weekends....what is a person to do?


That's why i said "some". cause "some" people just simply can't make the trip due to reasons that are to numerous to list.


The requirement puts an Undue burden on people.
Then I guess these people must be dead because if they can do any of this then they will starve.

It's disgusting how readily you are willing to shut eligible voters out of voting because the GOP tells you to think this way.


Impressive statistic, but more felons voted
illegally than the margin of victory in the
Minnesota election that put Stuart Smally in
the Senate to be the deciding vote for Obamacare.
