You cannot apply for a job, fly on an airliner, file your taxes, etc... without some proper form of Gov't ID.

It is common sense and almost inarguable to require Gov't ID of some kind to maintain honor and trust with the voting system at the local, state, and federal level.

To say it would be a disadvantage to someone who doesn't have the resources to get a govt ID is insane. (Not saying you said this, this was a response to the question in the quiz). If someone doesn't have the cahoots to understand what it is they need to do to obtain an ID, that is likely not someone that needs to be voting. Uneducated individuals also should also be held to a higher standard and needs to show their understanding of government policies and what is it they are voting on. Why would we let someone - who maybe didn't graduate high school, milks the system and takes…  Read more

Agreed, democrats say the disadvantaged don't have the funds for an ID, but what they really mean is illegal immigrants can't attempt to vote on election day where dems control the box, threats on paper don't scare those people, and Americans who don't have an ID are probably not paying taxes or contributing to their community so their vote isnt important to me and i have yet to meet an old elderly person that didnt have all their ducks in a row.

Agreed. If you don't have the resources to obtain a voter ID it's most likely that you're an uneducated voter, or you're in The US illegally

Shut up your opinion is dumb!

NO! You are dumb ASF!

You must be a democrat, no opinion that has any sense, merely a disagreeing, angry, uneducated answer. a sign of the times and one of the prime reasons to close the NEA, they couldn't even spell fascism even in the world of spell correct, lmfaooo.

That's a valid point. Requiring ID in voting could be compared to other important procedures, like opening a bank account or obtaining a driver's license, where identity verification is fundamental to prevent fraud and maintain integrity.

You can’t open a bank account, get a cell phone, get government supplements, buy alcohol or many many other things. Let’s face it, people have access to IDs and to say otherwise is just false. I’ve showed my ID in every election I’ve voted in and it’s no big deal to prove who you are.

 @B5H6PVG from Florida  disagreed…1yr1Y

You can do all that without a PHOTO ID if you provide some form of identification and you can fly without any form of ID at all as long as you consent to a more thorough security check.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
