1 Citizen, 1 Vote.
Paper Ballots, No Machines.
National Holiday.
It really is that simple.

I came here to find out what is racist or Trump's fault today.

[garyoldham]

The point of voter ID and making things verifiable is so that no one can be angry about the results. They can be disappointed but not angry.

Trump spoke about this long before the elections when he called for voter ID.

[User-zkn]

How does this have to do with “voting rights” isn’t this more voting security?

[fergusferguson]

Everyone seems to have plenty of ID when it comes to getting money from the government, but none when it comes to voting.

[IamFantastic]

This bill is NOT about voting rights this bill is about so much more. People are waking up! We are tired of your lies!

[johngorick]

Federal government needs to stop trying to take state rights away.

[eagleriver]

We are not afraid of "Voting Rights, " we want "Fraud free voting, " those aren't the same things.. We want those who are eligible to vote to vote, and we want them to be able to provide proof of eligibility when they go to vote or when they send in their vote so we all can be sure there is no voter fraud.

[JosephFrancisBurton]

If requiring id for voting is racist, is requiring id for driving a car, purchasing alcohol, applying for a job, getting a bank account, applying for a loan, cashing a paycheck, applying for Obamacare or getting a covid vaccine also racist?

[chris-fcim]

How is having a voter ID that can only be obtained by u.s. citizens, voter suppression ? You need an ID to buy beer, get on a plane, enter a casino or open a bank account, how can there not be an ID to vote ?

[armandhammer]

I'm 51 years old and just today the clerk asked for my ID to buy a 6 pack of beer C'mon man.

[guillermocortes]

“Voting rights” it’s all just wordplay.

[darthmagavader]

Nobody gets into a whitehouse press conference without an ID. When it comes to voting on the most important elections in the world

[TexRay]

What are democrats afraid of with a voter I.d!

[natedevilin]

An ID is required for everything in the US. It should also be required for voting. Not a problem if you’re a LEGAL resident.

[Jkief]

What's so wrong with making sure everyone who votes is legally allowed to do so, and ensuring the integrity of our elections?

[bobmerrill]

I’d like to ask the Democrats why they’re afraid of ID’s?

[victorguzman]

Let me fix that: "WHY ARE DEMOCRATS AFRAID OF ID VERIFICATION?"

[Jerome]

We are afraid on not knowing who voted, that is all.

[josephmcbride]

The people who surround themselves with high walls and the National guard are asking us what we are afraid of lol? That's rich. Voter i.d. is not and will never be voter suppression. You're attempts to make it so are pathetic and obvious.
