Overheard. Them: "We need to get our id so people will know its ok if we vote" Me: "it's always been required". I'm not sure if dem joke or maga doing their thing. Could be dem joke since it's early. But in my state talking about needing an id is as worthless as talking about id for being pulled over for a speeding ticket. It's required. It's always been required. Not one damn time has anyone here seen someone vote without having to provide id. Not one damn time.
My mother used to spread the Maga lie about ids and I asked her when she was ever able to vote without an id that got checked. People hate it when you call them on it and can call them on it. They act like you don't live in the same damn state or follow same damn processes. These lies may work with a 16 yr old not another adult. If you don't have an id they don't let you vote. They document you voted so you can't go back and vote again 3 times. You're in a damn database.
@AnnetteTRemain Tennessee didn't require photo Id to vote just a paper voter registration card and if you forgot that you just needed a upon perjury that you were who you said you were on paper and allowed to vote. Photo id wasn't required until Project Veritas James O'keefe proved the system worked by not voting. The lawmakers decided Tennessee needed photo id to vote.
@Ruthat But where I am it's required and people echo Maga lies like we were all walzing in and voting and say we are whomever we want when anyone who lives here knows that isn't true.
@Ruthat of course with all the emergency situations there could be a lot of people right now that don't have access to their id.
@Ruthat I don't see the issue with id. Probably because I have had to go through efforts to get id since it's required in so many situations including driving but even without driving people can get an identification card. And if people need help getting identification then we should be addressing that so they don't have problems in so many areas. Plus many places allow expired ids for certain identification. Like the elderly are probably going to have expired licenses.
