Catered buses?

Sounds like he thinks they're feeding then ribs and watermelon on those buses!

No. Because we were talking about BMVs. Different subject... again.

So how will that help them on election day if they have no car and the closest polling station is 50 miles away?

Why do we have appendixes? Why is grass green? Don't know, wasn't what we were talking about.

And here I thought the thread was about people voting.

I know it's hard to follow a conversation without moving the goalposts, we're used to it, Bubby.

When it comes to people having the right and the access to vote, I think we should be looking at things in their totality rather than trying to parce it up.

I know that it's pretty inconvenient to look objectively at how hard southern republicans have made it much more different for poor and black communities to vote, but it's a very real thing.

and BTW, that "moving the goal post" line is usually just a convenient way of dodging a very real issue that one doesn't want to face.

I'm not dodging anything. I'm glad you think we should be talking about something different, but you're not the internet police. For the third time...

WE WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT.

I know you like to force people into a different conversation, not working today bro. Pound salt or keep up you're tired, childish narrative ~ your choice.

... that was funny ...

You need to get your sense of humor checked.

Well damn. 20 people in Harlem. Proves everything right?

So the governor of Kentucky vetoed a voting ID bill.

I heard he did it while standing in front of the only BMV in the state. Is that true??

Let me fact check that and get back to you on the second tuesday next week... The same day Trump will tell the truth about everything.

And just like that, we are back on topic.

Is "voter supression" the new dumbocrat phrase of the day, lead by the empty headed AOC? You guys are like parrots.

How do I sign up for this?

GOPers project their flaws onto others, like trump does. Decent job eve.

Report: Trump commission did not find widespread voter fraud

Remember when Trump made a big deal out of forming these voter Fraud commissions?

they found nothing and then everything went quiet..

Facts simply don't matter even when they are Trump's own facts from Trump's on fact finding investigation .... the fear mongering and the xenophobia and the frothing at the mouth that can be stirred up by lying about this sort of stuff is what the Trump faithful desire. I mean the facts are there yet somehow this is a hot button that gets Trump supporters going as if it's an important topic.

You can't vote in Ohio without a license or some other form of ID....

The showing of ID is to prove who you are, to deter someone from claiming to be someone else and voting, possibly multiple times.

In some places a utility bill with name and address are sufficient, I guess they assume you wouldn't possess one if you weren't the person on the bill, so I wonder if that means they only take mailed copies, not home printed copies.

100 years ago gangsters paid people to vote for their guy in local elections... Nobody is paying anybody to vote now or nationally that I know of. And the facts do not support the claim to the point of denying millions the right to vote. You've been lied to...

Facts matter. At least to some of us......

So is not a problem because they check ID making it harder to do, or was it not a problem before,or was it a problem before and we just never had a way to verify it?

The miniscule amount of voter fraud does not justify silencing millions.

Good luck finding anyone other than me to respond to your post. I've shouting about this to the rafters, but the only thing folk want to talk about is ID's.

So people just need to get in the car and go stand in lines... If they can't afford that they should stay home and NOT watch TV or cable if they are so broke... ~ Right wing white guy

Well, my mom in law doesn't have an id. She used to drive but at 87, her license expired. She was born and raised in Ohio.

You would probably be surprised by the number of folks that don't have nor need a Government ID of any kind..

Will they acccept a Medicare card,, if so, she's good.

Here's the odd thing about it. When you get a drivers license with a new address, utility bills or any government mail transactions are proof of your new residence. Yet in order to vote, they're not good enough to prove residence. I find that odd.
