Yep...there are certain people who don't deserve to vote.....despite their legal right to do so...
You probably want zero registration voting too and vote where ever you want voting and any other measure to make counting hard and cheating easy.
I think if you're going to bitch and piss and moan about this...you should show that there is a real problem to solve. So far I'm not convinced there is one...and therefore must conclude that there is a hidden agenda.
Every time Republicans lose an election they try to clamp down on voting rules. It's bullshit.

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?
Those are the main two as a far as I know...you can get just a government issued ID that looks like a driver's license but isn't. I don't know many people who have both a DL and a government issued ID bc they're basically the same thing.

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….

The fact Joy Reid has a job is mind boggling.
I think voter fraud has the ability to sway a local election, though. And voter suppression is the left's voter fraud conspiracy. Neither are significant in any way.
Well if it’s not significant then why all the new laws addressing it?
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.

Because dip shit each vote is a sacred thing and should be treated as such. Plus a few hundred here and there across a whole state CAN change an election
Uh huh? So why not address the voter fraud in Trumps favor?

For those who don't know, Carlson got sued (technically FNC) and their defense was he more or less makes up shit.

A judge just said the same thing about Rachel Maddow. But I don’t think the Secretary of State disputes these findings and he also happens to support the new voting laws. Also the recounts just simply recounted the same duplicate ballots anyway though they claim they didn’t. There were shenanigans going on. Was it enough to give trump a victory? Who knows. But none of this shit is acceptable
There are numerous examples of voter fraud in Trumps favor across the country…why don’t you address those first?

Exactly the response I expected Flagg...pivot...turn...exit...

Easily one of, if not the biggest abominations on the album. After desperately waiting for a proper version to compare to the original cassette leak, it was just gross.
This coming from someone who doesn’t necessarily mind Ron’s solo, maybe because I never found May’s that compelling.
Again, I thought the original Catcher demo had something...something that we widdle away by the time the final album version came to be...
What a compelling thing to write a song about. What an interesting idea...but it led to nothing.
Maybe Brian May's solo stands out because his replacement basically tried fit 500,000 notes into a solo.
