    After 4 years of non stop complaining about election integrity Georgia is doing something about it and democrats are already complaining about the very integrity they were so concerned with.

    Here are some of the things you can't do without ID:

    Open a bank account
    Get a hotel room
    Enter the democrat convention
    Buy booze
    Bus smokes
    Get a permit to protest
    Drive a car
    Cash a check
    Open a business
    Get a passport
    Enroll in college
    Get a loan
    Get married
    Visit a doctor
    Buy insurance
    Buy a car
    Get on a plane
    Get a job
    Apply for Welfare
    Buy a gun
    Buy an M rating video game
    Pick up a prescription
    Get into an R rated movie

    If a person can do any of the above, then they can get an ID.

    So before someone complains about their rights being violated, then think about which of the examples above have been considered rights by some people and literally are rights, yet an ID is still required.

    Georgia is doing the right thing here and I fully stand behind every other state in the country doing this.

    Do you know the status of their attempts to limit drop box locations, reducing early voting days and limiting voter locations and minimizing voting times?

    What about making it unlawful for voter registration drives?

    What about banning voting on Sunday?

    All for “election security” of course. Has nothing to do with Republicans not being able to win elections when more legal citizens vote...

    It isn't a perfect foolproof system but I am fine with the way my city does it. After you make your request for an absentee ballot, they mail something to the address on record which you have to then mail back in before you get your ballot. That was at least how it was done prior to COVID.

    I don't mind having to ID and I really don't care that much about not having one. I am just opposed to same day registration mostly. There should be a cut off date before election day by which you have to register to give them time to get all the absentee ballots out and the rolls ready for election day in a calm, organized systematic way. 2 or 3 weeks, maybe a month, seem reasonable.

    For the math-impaired like myself, there were 200 THOUSAND more votes than there were registered voters. If these states try this again in 2024,this nation may well break apart. The double standards and lies are no longer going to be quietly tolerated.

    First, that is PA — not Georgia
    Second, this image has been proven time and time again to be a fraud. It has been analyzed by various data scientists and several courts and found to have ZERO validity.

    As for you “not quietly tolerating” us not tolerating the blatant and — quite frankly — intellectually devoid lies y’all keep screaming... what are you going to do?

    Lie some more on the internet? Threaten Pence with hanging? All y’all did last time was break into our (not yours apparently) Capitol and smear feces on the walls. I would call it a joke but it isn’t funny, it’s just sad.

    If you truly believe that Biden got 80 million votes then you have nothing to worry about. Or did he?

    I don’t believe he got 80 million votes. I know he got 81,268,924

    As to your claim if I don’t think the election was stolen I should be fine with open disenfranchisement of the voters. Does that actually make sense to you?

    Also, you didn’t answer my question. Try again.

    Anyone one voting by mail in Pa. must supply their drivers license number as well as the last 4 digits of their Social Security number as well as name address and telephone No. and online address on the application to vote by mail.

    They already had to do all that when they registers. Just republicans adding more hurdles to voting, as they always do

    Your post insults the intelligence of every honest truthful person on this Forum. Only an out of control Trumpocity fan will " believe" the false allegations in your post.
    You know that a chart like the one you posted is easily made using a spreadsheet. Truth and logic tells us that election officials in the districts and at the state level will spot even if there is one more vote than there are registerred voters.

    I am a state certified election official so I know how many registerred voters are in my district ( as every district manager knows!. We know how many ballots are allocated to our district. Myself and two others are under oath and we signed acknowledging how many ballots we recieved.
    The number of ballots each district gets is based on a historical percentage of registered voters. This past cycle HQ increased the number of ballots by 20% and yes at a number that is lower than the the number of registered voters

    So using your fantasy numbers it is IMPOSSIBLE that there could be more voters than registerred voters.

    Stop and think honestly.

    I know of their attempts to require dropboxes to have an official there to monitor who is dropping off and at the least have security cameras on them. Unmonitored unsecured ballot dropboxes is one of the more stupid ideas some have come up with. The longer the voting period the more it cost, the harder it is to secure the ballots, the more open to ballot tampering, the more chance that people will vote and then something happen that might change their decision we should all be voting as closely as possible under the same information. If you are going to extend voting for weeks then you can't keep as many locations open and there is no need as daily volume will be less. How about you register with a government election official and not some stranger out there representing some partisan group.

    It's about election integrity without which we no longer have a civil government.

    All of which someone could fraudulently submit.

    And seven more in that database that's 31% of just those cases they could confirm.

    So you’re opposed to this GA law? Because that’s exactly what they’re requiring.
    When do you show your id to vote absentee? I believe you, just unclear how it works. Don’t you mail it?

    How can someone fraudulently submit my drivers license number or the 4 terminal digits of my S.S. number. Not something we usually pass around freely?? And how would it benefit them since the BALLOT WOULD BE MAILED TO MY ADDRESS IN MY NAME??

    The vote isn't properly verified, but it's still counted. Someone sent 21 identical ballots with the same information and signature. All the votes were counted before the mistake was identified. The election observers in Philly complained about the failure of election officials to properly verify votes, and were yelled out when they attempted to make sure the votes were being verified properly. They were hiding the ballots from view.

    I mean dude... the government has been defrauded out of billions in social security and Covid relief checks this year. State governments have been consistently defrauded by foreign and domestic scammers. In a state with politicians that are fighting voter IDs, signature requirements and verification, I don't find it difficult to believe that someone committed widespread voter fraud. People have already been caught in 2016 and 2018 around the same urban areas in Texas and MI. There are Government officials that have worked for decades caught changing ballots. But the government has assured us that she has been caught changing the ballots, and she has tampered with no other ballots. Because someone that randomly decides to forge information on hundreds of ballots would never have tried to tamper with like one and then increase the number after successfully committing voter fraud. That's conspiracy talk.

    The only available foolproof system requires iris scanning technology. Fingerprinting would be virtually foolproof. Do you really wat to go down that road?

    People "could" fraudulently do lots of things. They don't.

    This is window dressing for the frightened white rural voter (and city dwellers of the same persuasion.) This law won't prevent fraud, mostly because there is none to speak of. It's a solution without a problem. And to the left; people who want to vote will vote. This won't stop them.

    As far as the OP and Georgia?

    I am certain that such a law (if passed) would end up in The Courts.

    Interesting. I found a recent ruling. December 2nd.

    The article is a little incoherent to my armchair lawyer mind, but North Carolina added voter ID to the state constitution. Well within their rights. The law and amendment have survived the challenges. I'm thinking other states have done the same or are considering the constitutional amendment route.

    The only nations that DO NOT require Voter ID are Banana Republics and Authoritarian Regimes. That is what the Democrats want.
