When a conservative paper ditches its well-worn path, it's a
bellweather for a shift in position. If the Rs continue to walk the
path they're on, the Ds are going to rule for quite some time.

Especially as long as they can buy votes and prohibit voter identification.

Which happened where or when?

It's just more right-wing bull****. The only significant voter fraud is
what is being perpetrated by Republicans on groups of voters who tend not
to vote for GOP candidates.

The latest example is in Texas...

Texas voter ID law may disenfranchise a third of female voters

Texas? new voter ID law, set to go into effect on Nov. 5, requires
individuals to provide a photo ID featuring their legally recognized name
in order to vote. It?s well-documented that such laws disproportionately
disenfranchise low-income voters, people of color, students and the
elderly, but married women and transgender people (some of whom are
married women) are also among those likely to be impacted by the new law.

According to recent data, 34 percent of voting-age women do not have a
document that currently reflects their current legal name. Among
transgender women and men, the number is 41 percent. That is a lot of
people who no longer meet the current requirements, and who may be
hard-pressed to get a valid ID in time for the November election.

Natalie Smith at Policy Mic notes:

If any voter is using name different than what appears on their birth
certificate, the voter is required to show proof of name change by
providing an original or certified copy of their marriage license,
divorce decree, or court ordered name change. Photocopies aren?t accepted.

Now ask a woman who?s been married for years where her original
marriage certificate is. Ask a woman who?s been divorced ? maybe more
than once ? where all the divorce decrees are. Ask elderly women where
their original birth certificate is.

Republicans are having an increasingly difficult time winning elections
so where they control the legislature or governor's mansion, they change
the rules to make it harder for those who support their opponents to
vote. The conservative-controlled US Supreme Court of course is aiding and abetting them.

No cases of significant numbers of actual voter fraud are being reported anywhere.

Bull****. You have to show ID at the doctor under HIPPA laws. You have to
show ID to use a credit card at times. Who does not have ID these days?

Whoosh. Try reading for content, Bilious.

Whoosh my ass! You have to show ID for most things these days. Why not
for voting? Very important function. Look how many dead people vote in
Chicago!

How many?

Look it up...

I'm not the one who made the statement, moron. Have your jawbone look it
up and get back to me.
