Requiring you prove who you are to vote is NOT voter suppression

IIMAGINE HOW STRONG OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE IF CONGRESS SPENT THEIR DAYS WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM.

I don't understand what is so difficult about showing a valid ID and signing your name when voting in person or being a verified registered voter prior to receiving a mail-in ballot. I have done both in my lifetime without any issues. The only reasons this would be viewed as unlawful or discrimination is if I was trying to get individuals who are not eligible to vote to cast a ballot.

I am HOMELESS, and EVEN I have a Valid.

It would take you longer to make one of those stupid signs than it does to go online and get an ID.

[gomerpyle]

Background check for people like Hunter.

[mateobeans]

If you don’t wanna show your id, don’t vote!

[cmontoya]

Very disappointed reporting. No facts about the law or what is the areas of disagreement. Just playing into more drama and not helping people learn so we work together and compromise.

[RoamingUndertheStars]

What is so wrong with valid id requirement to vote??

[garydavidson]

they have id when they get food stamps and welfare

[atlanticmermaid]

Love the new laws.
Be a Victor, not a victim. BYOB!

[underestimatedsmilin]

Pack a lunch, bring your own water and show an ID. Why is this difficult?
You can get a picture ID, if you don't drive, fairly easily.

[mattyjay]

How hard is it to get a freaking ID? I just don't get it.

[jhawk]

it isn't racist to make someone prove their identity.

[smittysanitarium]

So pathetic people can't see the big picture they have POWER and they wanna keep it pay attention they say power alot

[KM-qtgg]

There is nothing controversial about this law.

[idonthavetimereply]

WH should push Voter ID laws in all 50 states. We have to have a license to drive a car, hunt and fish, we should have one for voting.

[HooyahPeacock]

So this is just the lead up to Congress circumventing the Constitution in regards to voting. The Bill was introduced months ago.

[danielhansen]

You need id for welfare. if you go vote and you think there will be a line. Bring your own water. Duh?

[cherylduvall]

This does not limit being able to vote.
