Absentee. They have changed the time frame on being able to do that, to make that more restrictive. And I know that around here, there are buses that bring the elderly to the polls to vote.



This is a blatent attempt to disinfranchise and make voting rights more restrictive. They've been trying to do so for years without success. I would think every American would be against that. Especially the most conservative folks. It's been proven that "voter fraud" isn't a big problem anywhere. So why should any of this be changed in the first place? Why is it justified to change the law in the face of ... not a problem currently? The RGA admits that this will make it harder for voters that tend to lean Democratic to vote. That is the whole point of doing it, and everyone knows it. It's a political ploy.

Because voter fraud is very hard to prove. There have been many stories of political groups going around and giving smokes or cash to people if they go and vote. There is nothing restrictive about showing a photo ID. If the government is willing to pay for everyone to have a photo ID what is the issue? You need a photo ID to buy cough syrup. How else can you prove that the person that actually voted is the same person recorded in voting records? How would you know there is fraud if there is no way to prove the fraud? Is your real name Lena Taylor?
