Voter ID

Tim Simmons · March 24

Best I can figure out is that its whether or not there are obstacles to people getting IDs (There are) or are some people just lazy (There are). Both can be true.

I recently forgot my ID at a car rental place in Florida. They seemed unable to get it in an envelope and mail it to me.
I replaced it by going online to the Colorado state lic/reg site and renewed online. Eazy peazy.

But for some people getting a state issued ID is nowhere near that easy. Not everyone has their birth certificate or even their SS card readily available. Or have a DMV located near to them.

If they're going to make the IDs mandatory then they need to male it easier to get them. For EVERYONE.

Tim Simmons · March 24

I mean thats the bottom line for any of this. Get IDs into peoples hands. For anything. Not just voting.

But this "issue" is an issue because its not really about requiring IDs to vote (I know it comes across that way with the appeals to the public and among public conversations, like this thread), its really about preventing as many people who fall into certain categories who can vote from doing so.

I guarantee you she doesn't know where her fucking birth cert is

Neither do I. But I can get one, I've done it before. Would probably be easier to order a new one than to sort through the boxes in the crawl space where it probably is.

I don't want to argue back and forth about your mother in law, so speaking in general of that age group. My grandma is in an assisted living and there are people there who can take residents to appointments and I'm pretty sure the DMV if needed. They also work with social workers who can help get help for that sort of thing too. Thats really the whole point of assisted living, and why it costs so much. If they don't assist you in those things, it's just an over-priced apartment that serves food.
Also, some states offer homebound DMV visits, especially to facilities like nursing homes and assisted living facilities. My state offers homebound DMV visits, they just require a formal request to be paper mailed in and document a reason.
You can also renew it online if a new picture is not needed.
My point is, where there's a will, there's a way. She would need one to update her will and power of attorney. It's not completely irrelevant for someone in her situation to still need an ID after they stop driving. Sure, it might be a hassle, but so are taxes.
I agree requirements should be made far in advance. But I do think resources are available to those who need them. I've said before I don't agree with the SAVE act, but basic ID requirements are not unreasonable. As long as any changes are made far enough in advance.

But but for the 2024 campaign no one was demanding this then so why now? It’s the same as always when Republicans win elections they don’t question any votes but when Democrats win surely they must of cheated

Dems are against safe and secure elections and want non-citizens to vote.

Dems want to defund DHS-TSA, that’s why you had to wait in line or missed your flight.

Dems are for men playing in women’s sports.

Dems are for mutilating children.

There’s your campaign ads for September through election day. SCOTUS decision on mail in ballots by August, maybe as late as September.

Exactly
Bottom line is that the retRUmplican party doesn't want anyone except white men to vote or to have access to vote.

why? to fit the narrative that the orange fuckhead vomits out regularly that some of you believe

I said in previous elections. The save act does not apply retroactively.
I don't agree with all of the save act, but I do think there is nothing wrong with basic ID requirements. As Tempo pointed out, nobody is struggling to get a basic ID and who is willing and able to go out and vote.

Again, what part(s) of the SAVE Act do you agree with or is it now that you don’t agree with any of it? What’s the number of Americans managing their daily lives in the absence of valid government issued ID?

Its a good thing the things this Admin are actually doing are way more unpopular with the median voter than any of these issues.

From Letter From An American:

The SAVE America Act Trump wants is pretty openly a voter suppression measure: voting by undocumented immigrants is already virtually nonexistent, and it is already illegal. And the Brookings Institution reported in 2025 that only about four cases of mail fraud occur per 10 million mail-in ballots, or 0.000043% of total mail ballots cast. But Republicans are using the idea of voter fraud to argue for measures that could toss more than 21 million Americans off the voter rolls.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of what you bolded.

Yes, I agree if any changes are made, they should be made far in advance. I also believe there are resources available to those who need assistance in obtaining some documents.

And yes, I also don't agree with all of the save act (I have said I think a basic ID is reasonable).

I'm not sure what you think is the big "gotcha" moment there.

Thats not moving the goal posts. Moving the goal posts, for example, would be like claiming 21 million people not have a basic ID. But when asked for a source, quote data that shows 21 million people don't have a passport or citizenship paperwork, and claiming that the original number of 21 million was accurate, which is not the same thing. Thats moving the goal posts. Just an example I made up. See the difference?

I don't agree with having to show anything beyond a basic ID in order to register to vote. The majority of the country also agrees with that. I've said that several times, not sure how else to say that for you. Maybe I'll try again, I don't agree with having to show anything beyond a basic ID in order to register to vote.

is not having an id a crime?

if not, if this passes, it probably will be at some point.

I don't think voter fraud is rampant enough to change an election. I'm sure there is fraud, but it's not by the millions. I also think showing a standard ID when voting and registering is completely reasonable.
But I don't think a change should be effective immediately. Say maybe 5 years from now would be reasonable. I think my state already requires it though.

It's not like people have to go through this process of getting their first ID every time they vote. At least in my state, non-driving IDs never expire for people over 65. So when you are done driving, renew your license one last time for a non-driving ID and you will never have to do it ever again even if you live to 104.
Anyone who doesn't currently have an ID has 5 years to figure out how to get the documents they need and get one. That seems more than reasonable to me. I really don't know what a valid argument against that would be.

Requiring people to show a standard ID when voting is reasonable. Proof of citizenship, passports, birth certificates, etc should not be required.

Not really sure how else to say it. But you keep asking over and over. A standard ID has your name and a picture issued by the government. If it has that, it's a standard ID and should be all that is required.
