Mysterious forces? As in…. Something that can happen but which you don’t understand? Like if you took a freshman chemistry set to the Middle Ages you’d be accused of witchcraft, of using “magic”. Not because it didn’t happen, but because the people didn’t understand it. And how do you know...

No you need to define it. Tell us exactly what you mean by “magic”.

What do you mean by “magic”? Definition of history: “the branch of knowledge dealing with past events.” If there have been “magical” events in the past then magic is part of history. So back to the first question: what do you mean by “magic”?

You are correct about that, and I appreciate your hypothesis. I actually think it's reasonable, as political wheeling and dealing happens all the time. I just think it's not the correct answer in this case, but it's certainly a reasonable thought.

After watching the Democrat party try to suppress votes in the Florida panhandle, not to mention (though I just did) suppressing military ballots (both of which which typically skew Republican), during the 2000 presidential election, I don’t want to hear anything about Republican vote...

Bill Clinton sounding like a MAGA right winger on the issue of immigration and the southern border was like 25 years ago. Not 160 years ago. Come on. There are Democrats right now pushing for some form of voter ID - albeit not the kind of photo ID laws favored by Republicans. But the question...

It's a problem when it does happen. Which....it absolutely does. Imagine having your vote not count because someone "stole" your vote because your district didn't have any measures to stop it? You wouldn't think it's not a problem then. The number of women who get abortions because of incest is...

So the Democrat-controlled and dominated governorship and legislature - which could have passed virtually anything they wanted - needed to agree to something that they absolutely hated, which would have (so the argument goes) undercut the number of votes they themselves would receive, in order...

Why would Democrats be interested in ANY voter ID laws though? What's the purpose? Doesn't ANY voter ID law serve as SOME impediment to voting, particularly for ethnic minorities and the poor? I mean, that's the argument you and others have been putting forth. Why would Democrats have ANY...

We should reduce the voter fraud no matter who it favors. I assume you’d like voter fraud that favors Republican candidates to be reduced/eliminated, right?

So while I can’t quantify the amount of voter fraud that happens, I assume that nobody here doesn’t think that it doesn’t happen. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/woman-arrested-voter-fraud-scheme...

I.e., not telling me the truth (lying) in order to cover his ass, politically speaking. You sure don’t think highly of politicians, do you? Not that I blame you. Not one bit. See, I assume that Democrats pushed ID requirements to vote because they think it’s important that when you show up at...

Ok thanks for this. Given that he didn’t know my political leanings, I’m going to assume that he was telling me the truth, and wasn’t lying to me to cover his political ass. But maybe you have an even lower opinion of politicians than I do.

I've already answered this: I don't know. But apparently it's a big enough concern that my state's democratic leadership felt the need to have people show their IDs when going in to vote, because they wanted to make sure that when a guy showed up claiming to be Joe Smith, it really WAS Joe...

This absolutely either IS or soon will be doable technology, and millions of people will want it. They won't care about the downsides of it (which are legion). They'll just think....I can have essentially a computer brain, be connected to the internet all the time without an actual device, get...

It’s not just that it’s part of the info they collect. They literally use it IN LIEU OF a drivers license or state issued ID, in order to register to vote. That is, you do NOT have a DL or state issued ID, you can register to vote with your name, address, and SS#. It literally acts as a way to...

We could spend days talking about how screwed up the government is.

from: https://www.voteriders.org/firstvote/ “When you register to vote or vote for the first time in a federal election (Presidential or Congressional elections) in your state, you must prove who you are. This is required under Federal law. Your state may have separate ID requirements for...

Silly? The government literally requires SS# for ID purposes even as they say it’s not to be used for ID purposes. You can cite the law that says its not ok to use SS# for ID purposes, but I’ve given you a bunch of examples where it IS used that way, by the very same government no less. It’s...

The point is that you either need an ID to register to vote or, if you don’t have that, many states use your SS number (or the last four digits anyway). Why on earth you went to war over this point, I have no idea. The government says you can’t use SS# for ID purposes, yet New York actually...
