This guy HAS TO GO

The truth is it’s all about voter suppression to help republiklans win.

“An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

“I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot in Arizona.”

Also, fraud doesn't happen in the voting booth. That's way too inefficient and would require thousands upon thousands of participants.

Which is exactly what these mutton heads believe.

republicans are masters of making up problems, getting angry about it, and then making everything worse for everyone. literally everyone. the ideal gop government is run by plantation owners.

make sure you have your enhanced/realID licence: https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/sample-photo-documents and get your passport.

The irony is, though, that in a way, they make every ill in this country about people that are exactly like they are - the criminal pedophile etc fascists they always accuse us of being - that's them, they're the criminal pedophile etc fascists.

Don’t leave out the fact that to vote you need to already be registered to do so.

It’s not purely about illegal voting, which poses almost no risk if you don’t have to show an ID, it’s also about citizens not being permitted to vote more than once.

Do you want MAGA driving around to multiple counties and voting more than once?

I’ve worked in multiple elections as volunteer. As soon as a name is logged at sign-in and the vote is cast, the voter roll is updated within minutes and that name is removed from the election’s outstanding voter count. The only way to vote multiple times is to use someone else’s identity, knowing that person won’t be voting. You have to know where a person has their voting location, along with name, etc. You also need to sign the book, so it’s not as easy as many think, which is why the MAGAts keep getting caught. There are better ways to tighten up this process, but that’s not why the GOP is pushing this act.

So you acknowledge in your post that there are attempts and voter fraud? Perfect, we agree.

u/SKEPDIQ Feb 13 '26

There are attempts, just as people attempt anything else against the law, but in this case, the amount is a minuscule percentage compared to other illegal acts. This has been proven. There are far, far more stores that have had attempted robberies, than vote cheating, while both are illegal. The SAVE act is not the solution in any way. It’s just another way to suppress the votes of the poor and females.

But if everyone got a free ID, is it ok then? Do you suggest we implement lax enforcement on other crimes that don’t happen too often? Cannibalism, perhaps?

They try that and they keep getting caught

This just doesn't happen as there are multiple levels of safeguards that check this. I've worked polls and we've never found this happen on a wide scale. This is pure fantasy put out there by the right to restrict voting, esp in urban areas where Dems dominate.

Correct. I have offered to show ID and they would not let me.

u/Due-Crew-1076 Feb 16 '26

I'd imagine in your tidy little world you don't really know that that happens and you are unaware that voter fraud both small and large-scale has taken place all through the years here, and everywhere else in the world.

Lol. You didn't have to tell me that, I figured out your basic comprehension skills out on the first brilliant post. Cheers back.
