Can ANYONE give me a good reason why we shouldn’t REQUIRE an ID to vote?

[Marvin Martian]

I don’t understand why it should be easier to vote than to buy cigarettes?

[Beefjake]

Ok, so I have thought this to be a joke of somekind.

But so far you have not had to indentify yourself when voting?

What in the actual fuck…?😮‍💨

Example...mail in ballots. Not absentee, straight mail in. How many are printed, where are the being sent to, who is filling them out, etc. The whole idea of not voting in person en masse is Stalin's dream.

How is fair that illegals can vote - Sounds like a Scam & far to easy to rig
The election.

Oregon is the forerunner of mail-in voting being as how it is the first state to vote by mail in a presidential election. Oregon voters made mail-in ballots the state’s standard system more than 20 years ago and it has worked out so well for us that multiple other states have followed suit.

Yeah, it's kept democrats in control, amazing how that works.

Your insinuation is flawed for several reasons, Chaos.

Prior to 2012, Oregon was the most consistently Republican west coast state. The Oregon Legislature approved vote by mail in local elections in 1981 and state elections in 1995, seventeen years prior to Democrats' control of the legislature.

As is the case in most of the U.S., voters in urban areas are more liberal, left-wing (democrats), and rural areas they are more conservative, right-wing (republicans). The bulk of Oregon's population is in its largest cities. this is why democrats have been in control of the Legislature and not because of mail in balloting.

All Election voting should require ID to Vote - who would argue against that.

If republicans started winning, they'd put a stop to mail in ballots for everyone.

[SOMEPARTS]

YEAH?

[Primemuscle]

If republicans started winning, they'd put a stop to mail in ballots for everyone.

To do that they, i.e. you would need to win in every state in the U.S. or change the law which currently places these election matters in the hands of each state to determine. Don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen, because the odds are that it never will. In fact, look for more and more states to adopt mail in voting.

As an aside, you do realize your leader Donald Trump and many republican party leaders have changed their stance and are now pro mail in ballots. Does this change of direction disappoint you?
