Wtf? I thought voter ID was about voter fraud

Hondo was wrong again.

Asked about how Ted Cruz or Donald Trump could win Wisconsin in the general election, Grothman said, "I think Hillary Clinton is about the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever put up. And now we have photo ID, and I think photo ID is going to make a little bit of a difference as well."

    Maybe he's right and the Ds benefit from voter fraud more than the Rs? Ever think of that? You have a weird habit of making someone else's argument for them with your retard logic.

    How many Americans vote as it is? 25%?

    Registration should just be part of your tax return: automatic and compulsory. It's just that the GOP recognizes that their vote share in inversely related to turnout, and so they support anything that suppresses the vote. It's soft discrimination, not hard, but it's still a factor in disenfranchising people.

    If you're confident in your political argument then it shouldn't matter how many people vote.

    Tammany and I shared a good laugh over this one. Maybe registration should be mandatory, but some people don't like being put on lists. You act as if there isn't a history of shady voting practices on both sides. Aren't the Dems suppressing Sanders voters right now? The fact of the matter is that the election system is fucked on both sides.

    So how about the DNC rigging it now?

    Agree it's happening on both sides, and is not a partisan issue (at least it shouldn't be).

    Although GOP Governors gerrymander like nobodies business. But I digress...

    It all boils down to those in power doing what it takes to hold power. And since good ideas are too much work for these whores, they quietly change the rules to prevent being challenged. At this point they don't even try to hide it, because they know people can't or won't do a damn thing about it.

    It should be harder to vote. Not financially but if you are too stupid or lazy to make an effort to vote then fuck you.

    Why not just have everyone who isn't registered to vote marked down as a D vote and be done with it?
