    81,268,924 people didn't vote for Biden. 81,268,924 people voted against Trump. Biden was never really liked very much and had Trump been able to shut his mouth and quit tweeting, he would have won easily. Trump beat himself by being outrageously stupid.

    Back on topic, people are smart enough to get an ID. I don't see the problem.

    Were all of those Insulting Personal Attacks really necessary?

    Wow.:smh:

    When replying to a post, your own post must be about the post to which you are replying, not the poster themselves.

    Thank you for the links.
    Maybe, I will check them out.
    Once again, thank you for bringing them to my attention.

    I just fail to see the need for the Blatantly Insulting Personal Attacks.:smh:

    Since when is it legal for a tax exempt church to inject itself into the political process without losing their exemption? The only answer I can come up with is that if it's benefiting Democrats, then authorities look the other way, otherwise every single church that hosts a GOTV event would (and should) lose their tax exempt status.

    For that matter, ALL churches should lose their tax exempt status regardless, but perhaps that's a discussion for a different time and place.

    There were four + hour long lines for the 2020 elections. We do not have enough voting locations.

    Why can’t you keep as many locations open?
    Why does it matter where you register as long as you vote with a picture ID?
    What about Sunday voting.

    So you are saying that if someone registers with on of the voter action network then goes to a precent and votes on a Sunday with a valid picture ID their vote has less integrity than anyone else’s?

    That’s a stretch. But I guess whatever helps you process that you are advocating stealing votes from people because your team cannot win any other way.

    I grew up and currently reside in the Deep South. I can assure you that churches (Southern Baptist) are absolutely pulling for team red. Black churches may be for team blue — but it just doesn’t benefit one group.

    And yes. All churches should lose their automatic tax exemption and be free to apply like every other entity does.

    You are absolutely correct. The vast majority of voters did so against trump. Myself included. Biden (or whoever is pulling the strings) seems to be doing a better job than I anticipated however.

    I don’t have an issue so much with voter ID as I do with all of the other items surrounding voter ID. You have to admit it looks like Republicans are just trying to make it more difficult to vote...

    Why is having an ID to vote even a question? I know! so they can get ILLEGAL votes.

    Not to me. I value privacy. The government got my prints when I enlisted, but I'm thinking of the hundreds of millions of people who would prefer not to be identified by their fingerprints or irises. Do you really trust government that much?

    Go complain to your LOCAL ELECTION OFFICIALS. Where is where? We have no mail in voting and absentee was just opened for anyone and in the primary, the runoff and general I waited no more than 30 minutes as I posted at the time. And I have been quite clear in what I have said. ID to register, ID to vote, no weeks and weeks and weeks of voting and have said why.

    I am sure you are aware — maybe not — the backwoods of Alabama is not similar to a modern city. That you had to wait 30 mins has no bearing on anyone else — your experience is likely not similar to anywhere else just because of the area you have taken residence in.

    France take it a step further to ensure absolute integrity in their elections. Mail-in ballots and voting machines banned in France.

    Voting without Valid I.D. is for Authoritarian Regimes. No sane nation on this planet allows it.

    Also, that requirement is pure racism. Anyone supporting no voter I.D. is a racist or incredibly uniformed.

    Should we be able to buy and sell guns using the same ID criteria the left wants to use for voting?

    The Georgia GOP can go eff themselves. They could have done this before the last election. The GOP will do it now that it doesn't matter. If you think the GOP will ever let a populist candidate on the ticket again, you are far more optimistic than myself. I would bet the ranch that the next election will be nothing but George Bush\Romney\Biden style neocons\neolibs.

    Has your Establishment MSM really not informed you of what the Democrats have written into their most recent attempt to take complete control?

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/12/democrats-coronavirus-bill-would-eliminate-states-/

    Consider yourself educated.


    Agreed. The Democrats wrote it right into their bill and these Leftists are either ignorant to that fact, or don't care that they are supporting Authoritarians. It's un-American and they are 100% for it.

    You need ID to register.
    Voter ID would be less controversial if every other republican election change wasnt intended to make voting more difficult. So it just seems like more of the same.

    Not allowing voting on Sunday, limiting drop box locations, limiting voting locations, limiting or completely eliminating early voting, not allowing registration drives — I have no issues with trying to make voting as secure as possible but these measures seem to be being pushed to make it as difficult as possible.

    Is that sarcasm? It must be sarcasm. Or you mistyped that and meant 'doesn't happen often'. Idk

    What's the chances that GA administration, election officials, and courts will follow the new laws?

    I know blacks who own and drive cars. Since they are law abiding citizens I can only assume they have a driver license. I've seen black people at the DMV. They seem to be successful at getting licenses. I think saying that getting an ID is harder for black person is nonsense. I think it should be viewed as an insult.
