Why wouldn't I feelbad for them? Most of those people were innocents. The nerve of you to even post such a comment. Really?

W was in office. History tells us he won Florida, and the presidency by a scant few votes. How many people died in Iraq? Would they stillbe alive if Gore had won? Would a single, or several men with firearms be able to kill that many people? These are questions you need to ask yourself before your next comment on this matter.

What your totally off topic anecdote about old timers not having enough foresight to design democracy for today...
#1. VOTING ISN'T AN ACTUAL RIGHT.
#2. "Half" the founding fathers had intense concerns about a scenario of a nation of morons voting themselves into the dust.

It's a big deal because it disenfranchises the young and the poor to a greater extent than the rest of the population.

Do that three thousand times.
That's how many votes trump claimed were all illegally cast for Clinton.
Sorry foxy there's no way he's ever going to come out on top of this claim.
Any more than he's going to come out on top of the Obama wire tapped me claim.
Because it's a fantasy.
Jesus will return before trump proves his ridiculous fantasy.
When grandpa started talking like this he was diagnosed with dementia. We humored him but didn't waste time investigating why that sweet nurse stole his favorite pajamas or kept hiding his glasses.

I sincerely dont see how. I can see where maybe MAYBE a case can be made for the ultra-poor, whereby they couldn't potentially afford to even get a copy (if they dont already have one) of their particular form of ID...im not heartless, I know personally I would go out of my way to pay for someone's ID in a case such as that and I would hope that anyone in this thread would do the same for their fellow Americans, but the young? If they're not young AND ultra-poor as described I just can't see the disenfranchisement.
But looking at it another way, the ultra-poor under such conditions probably have a lot more on their mind other than what buffoon is sitting in the White House or REP or Sen. seats like where they're getting their next meal from.

Most everywhere requires some form of ID.
Answer honestly have you ever voted without having to show ID?
Not me either.
