Anyway, I won't get into it here since there's a thread on the topic:

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostFirst of all - I never said I was against VoterID laws (see my previous posts). And statistics about how many support it doesn't counter the data that outlines how many will be disenfranchsed if the voter ID laws are implemented without regard to those who will indeed be disenfranchised. Your mixing apples and oranges. I f I were polled, I would say I support VoterID laws. That does NOT mean I want them implemented in a way that disenfranchises people when there are ways to implement them that don't.
You folks keep arguing againstt hings I'm not saying - and providing arguments that don't refute the underlying point. At this point, I've basically repeated myself multiple times, so it's long past time I step away. Last word to ya'll - if you so desire.

Originally posted by Sparko View Postand yet when I said the same thing, that I support voter ID requirements and even cheap methods for voters to get photo IDs, you kept arguing against me and saying I was for disenfranchisement. You are harder to pin down than jello with a nail gun.
If I have been sloppy with language, please point to the posts that were problematic and I will clarify or appologize. If we have been agreeing violently, then I certainly apologize. Your posts left me with the impression that going gangbusters with a VoterID program without taking time to ensure no one's vote would be disenfranchised. Indeed - I seem to recall you explicitly saying that you didn't care if some validly registered voters couldn't vote as a result. Didn't you express that opinion?
Edited to add: You can look at your post 1500 for why I have this impression. But I also missed some posts in the flurry of exchanges, so I never saw your post 1492, in which you said,
So I agree with you that we should be working to make sure everyone has an ID rather than arguing that people should be able to vote with no ID. That is the way to solve the problem, you get voter checks to make sure only eligible people are voting and everyone has a photo ID to use for all of the things they are needed for in today's society.
This suggests we might be agreeing violently. I think the only possible point of disconnect is that I believe the VoterID system should be implemented and reasonable efforts made to make sure everyone who is a validly registered voter has one BEFORE it is mandated in order to vote. Based of the database of actual voter fraud, the delay will have negligible impact on voting, a valid assumption because there is negligible evidence of voter fraud to date.Last edited by carpedm9587; 12-15-2017, 09:59 AM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostDisenfranchisement is.
I think the problem is that the Democrats would have a harder time going into a neighborhood with buses and vans and swooping up "whoever" to vote for their side.
Here's the definition:
: to deprive of a franchise, of a legal right, or of some privilege or immunity; especially : to deprive of the right to vote
disenfranchising the poor and elderly
Nobody is depriving them of the right to vote. If they're not interested enough in voting to attempt to meet the requirements, maybe they should stay home. There are a LOT of other qualified people who do.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
