Right...one group who wishes to overturn an election result is equal to a group of street hoodlums.

What about the Texas reps that are obstructing democracy by leaving their state preventing the legislative branch from operating? Isn’t that what the people of January 6th were accused of?

Nah, they're assholes who didn't adhere to masking while flying and now have infected at least 6 people with COVID, but that's a far cry from rioting in the Capitol.  One is a federal crime, while the other is just douchey.  Not the same game, let alone same ballpark.

Nothing that happened on January 6th was remotely ok or acceptable. It’s just really hard to be taken seriously when people kept their head in the sand for 7 months, pulled it out for one day, then immediately put their head back in the sand are claiming they have an informed, let alone objective view of political violence in America and who has fostered and encouraged it.

Same old, same old in GN'R Land.

I agree, but people need the gumption to get the ID. There are already organizations and places to help people get their ID. I think, and this is just my opinion, but if you're not motivated to go get an ID you're most likely not going to vote anyway.

If you don’t have an id, you probably not informed enough to vote anyway. This is such a stupid talking point.

What IDs are available in America? Anything beyond Drivers License or Passport?

Because this has been an issue for years. I don't see anything wrong with proving who you are to vote. And as I said, fraud could be significant in local elections.

I’d agree with you if you’d simply acknowledge our election participation rates are shit.

I see this for what it is…widling away our electorate with a clear goal in mind. Let’s do voter ID….cool…but you better make sure everyone who deserves one has one.

You’d have near 100% support if you did that.

That’s how i know this is partisan….
