Elections are run by the states, not by the President. This is more federal overreach.This is a constitutional and commonsense security measure. Over 80% of Americans agree with Voter-ID laws. If you have to show ID in order to buy alcohol or rent a car, you should have to show ID in order to vote.
Jim Banks Calls for Passage of SAVE America Act to Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote
Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN), an original sponsor of the SAVE America Act, called for the passage of the legislation to require proof of citizenship to register to vote and mandate photo ID at the ballot box.www.breitbart.com
People also have to show ID to get on an airplane or to receive government benefits. It is time.
But what makes you so sure that my asking did not include travelling into another country. Its the most obvious if we are talking about ID. Your playing semantics.
Are you kidding. Its the biggest fraud in US history.
Yes it is. Voter ID is a voting method.
But you assuned it only meant travelling within the US. If I am talking about ID its obvious I am talking about travel that requires ID. Which is travelling outside the US. How can you not work this out.
What are you living on another planet. They have arrested nearly 100 people. I am talking about the money fraud. We were talking about ID for welfare.
What is wrong with you. It was about voting methods.
No, you talked about traveling, not...
... entering a different country, which is not the same thing as traveling (and something I've done without showing ID).
It wasn't, and it is off topic. Quit deflecting to some other nonsense.
No "Voter ID" is not a voting method. "pencil marks on paper" (a functional method) or "first past the post" (more of a counting method) are voting methods.
Yes in the context of ID. The only travel in the context of ID is traveling outside the US. Surely you understand this simple and obvious logic.
Stop looking for exception. Traveling does not automatically mean domestic. We were talking about ID for traveling. The most obvious is going overseas. Now you admit this you want to then make exceptions to avoid acknowing the obvious and the rule rather than exception. .
Its not off topic. I am use the idea of having ID to get welfare to stop fraud as a direct parallel to having ID to stop voter fraud. Its a good parallel.
Voting method as in 'one method requires no ID and the other method requires ID.
It isn't. I've done plenty of traveling and little of it was outside the US. Your general lack of precision in your writing is causing you problems again.
Hey, this brings up an interesting scenario: what’s to stop a state from “securing it’s borders“ and have all out-of-state people have to show ID, (or pay to “bypass” this on EZPass?)?

Still doesn't sound terribly unreasonable...
There's simply no evidence for your accusations.
Germany has a great system. They keep a national registry of citizens and put them on the voter roles when they turn 18. If a citizen moves it is the responsibility of the citizen to provide a new address. Weeks before elections they notify everyone of their valid registration. Many election problems in the U.S. stem from states having their own systems. North Dakota, for example, doesn't even require voters to register.Many citizens don't have access to documentary proof of citzenship.
"Kansas offers a case study of how a documentary proof requirement would likely play out in practice. Before the law took effect, noncitizen registration in Kansas was exceedingly rare, accounting for about 0.002% of registered voters. After adoption, the documentary proof of citizenship requirement prevented roughly 31,000 eligible citizens, or 12% of all applicants, from registering to vote. In short, the law prevented far more citizens from registering to vote than noncitizens."
Five Things to Know About the SAVE Act
The House of Representatives will vote this week on H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act). Introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), the SAVE Act requires voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship at the time of registration.
Let's see if you understood the bill...
Nope. Still talking about "voter ID".
Great, so let's do Voter ID like Canada. Canada is the cool progressive neighbor to the north that doesn't like guns, is cool with LGBTQ stuff, and is hyper-aware of racial issues.
