Because the right to vote is important.Indeed it is. Which is why we owe it to ourselves to ensure that our elections are free, fair and
secure.
It is exceedingly unlikely that any large number of people have engaged in in-person voting fraud that could be detected by voter ID (which is basically impersonating a registered voter). There are records of exactly who voted in each election, those records are fairly comprehensive, and several efforts have been made to parse those records to try to find people voting fraudulently. I keep hearing this, variations on the theme that our elections are completely secure, blah blah blah. But then there are Fulton Counties and Mar-A-Lago and my all-time favorite from my home city:
https://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/king-c...It is fair to say Sawant and her supporters conducted one of the better election ground games in recent memory by utilizing a system most voters don't know about.
"It is legal," said King County Elections Chief Julie Wise, unequivocally, about the pop-up voting sites that Sawant supporters created around Seattle's Capitol Hill.
"We heard this election from about 100 voters that were concerned and I think frustrated," said Wise, in reference to the tents where people were printing ballots for the recall election.
"That's a program that we've offered our voters for over a decade now. Since 2010, voters have been able to go online and access their ballots," said Wise, who believes the print-at-home option enhances access to voting.
Wise said the online platform allows registered voters to replace their ballots and print them at home, putting the ballot in a postage-paid envelope. She said the ballots are held to the same strict standard and verification as ones mailed out by the elections department.
In this particular election, 3% of ballots, or 1,400, were printed. Wise said the normal rate during an election is one-half of one percent. Given the small margin, it is highly likely the ballots printed at pro-Sawant locations were the difference in the race.Sawant held several events where she would print up a ballot for you. You could then vote and she'd turn it in for you. I'm sure they did a bang-up job of verifying IDs.
And back up to Mt. Righteous we go:
Which is why it's wrong when you claim that Democrats are motivated by a desire for fraud in elections (or whatever the terminology was above). Democrats are motivated by what happens to the people without ID, not what happens to the people who try to fraudulently vote in person, because they are aware that the former population is at least 1000X larger than the latter. Even if you think that motivation is purely self-interested and driven by a desire for power, rather than protecting the interests of the voter, it's still the much much larger number. The fraudulent votes (if any exist) are too small to matter, but the people being blocked from voting is large enough to matter - so that's what motivates Democrats.Yep, there's a funicular that takes you up and down. They must have a nice cafe up there as well.
You're testifying on behalf of your entire party. Sure, go ahead, but since you don't live in the heads of guys like this

What if the SAVE act mandated the feds provide anyone who wanted a secure ID could have one for free?
