Apparently, the Democratic Party only wants walls and IDs when that benefits them.

It is pretty hypocritical to complain about the DNC security practices when the RNC had a security perimeter and required ID.
At both of these events, a presidential candidate was there and many other party official, senators and representatives. Last night, the President of the US.was there and tight security is ALWAYS required when the President is there.

Plus, they knew in advance about pro-Palestinian protests would be held, and planned for how to handle it if they became violent or got out of hand.

I'm not complaining about the security practices at the DNC in Chicago. However, I do believe that it's ironic or even hypocritical for the the DNC to believe in the usage of walls, IDs and security when it benefits them. But then the Democratic Party politicians say walls don't work at the borders and that voter ID ought to be illegal.

You are conflating different situations. Walls do not keep out immigrants when they are flying in. Nor do they stop immigrants who are applying for asylum.
Immigration does not benefit Democrats more than Republicans.

IDs are required to attend the DNC the same way tickets are required to attend a concert.

Come up with a real complaint. This one is rather silly.

It stops those who sneak in though.

That’s a blatant falsehood. Immigrants vote Democrat and live in blue states more, which gives the democrats more seats in the house and more electoral college votes.
IDs are required to attend the DNC the same way tickets are required to attend a concert.
And it should work that way for voting as well.

No it’s not.

There is a clear difference between using walls and border security measures that cut back and limit the massive illegal immigration as compared to actions that would reduce illegal immigration to zero. Also, if y'all truly believe that massive illegal immigration is NOT something that the Democratic Party believes helps them, then why has the current administration allowed millions and millions of illegal immigrants across our borders since January 2021?

They have pulled the border guards back? Stopped immigration from checking passports at ports of entry?

They climb over walls.

NOPE. They have to get their citizenship, which is an involved process. Immigrants who gain citizenship may vote either party. It depends. For instance, many of the Venezuelan immigrants who get citizenship vote Republican.

And it should work that way for voting as well.

No it’s not.
I had to have ID to get a driver's license and had to provide ID when I registered to vote. It was done at the same time and I had to show my birth certificate.

When my mom lost her state ID and the time to easily renew passed, we had to provide her birth certificate to get the new ID and she was registered to vote (update) at the same time.


It is silly to conflate border walls and ID for voting with the requirements to go into a political event when the president and presidential candidate is there along with House members and Senators.

I noticed you ignored the part about the electoral college and House of Representatives.

I didn't ignore the electoral college or the House. While that is based on total population, it is still only citizens who vote for the president. and that is only citizens who are on the mainland, Alaska and Hawaii, in the military or US citizens abroad. Those citizens in Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, Mariana Islands and US Virgin Islands can only vote in a primary. They have to move to a State in order to vote for president.

IF having immigrants was so important to increase a state's number of electoral votes/number of Reps, then Texas wouldn't be so anxious to move them out.

Here is an article that explains things:


no it’s not.
Yeah, it is. Insisting on security for an event like the convention, or other public events, is not the same thing as the border or voting.

Nah, ID and security matter play roles in each. You’re just pouting because it proves the Democratic Party is hypocritical.

Did you read the article you linked to?

No, I simply am pointing that your comparison fails.

And do not make personal comments as in that last line.

It doesn’t.

Personal as in the "pouting" comment. Stick to content.

Responding to the OP, it is very reasonable for the DNC to make sure those that entered were allowed to enter.so as to protect the candidate and others. A better comparison would have been if the Dems critiize the GOP for checking ID but then did it themselves.



ID is required to vote. I have voted in 4 states - MI, WA, TX and AZ. In each state (different times), I had to bring a birth certificate to the DMV in order to get a driver's license and I registered to vote at the same time. I do mail in voting in AZ and they compare signatures, I get a notification when it is received, when the signature is cleared, when the ballot is scanned and then when it is finally counted.
What the Dems balk at is the purging of voter rolls by one side, required new ID from the elderly who have voted for 70 years but their ID was lost at some point. There were other things - like reducing early voting, bills that required 2 forms of ID for absentee voting, restricted mail in voting, and restriction of some forms of ID.

So the democrats wanna defend themselves because it benefits them.
Voter fraud can occur though. In fact it has occurred. Requiring voter ID counteracts that.

The DNC wants to protect the folks inside just like the RNC wanted to protect those inside. The Secret Service is involved in both conventions regarding security as they provide protection to the candidates. Why is that so hard to understand?

Voter fraud like this?


An Iowa woman found guilty on 52 counts of voter fraud, carried out in support of her Republican husband, was given an eight-month custodial sentence.​
Kim Taylor, of Woodbury county, will serve four months in prison and four in home confinement, KTIV, a Sioux City TV station, reported. Subject to two years’ supervised release, Taylor will also pay $5,200......​
“After Taylor’s husband lost in the primary, he ran for Woodbury county supervisor … and Taylor again engaged in ballot fraud, causing absentee ballots to be fraudulently requested and cast.​
“Taylor submitted or caused others to submit dozens of voter registrations, absentee ballot request forms, and absentee ballots containing false information. Taylor completed and signed voter forms without voters’ permission and told others that they could sign on behalf of relatives who were not present.”​
