Can you tell me how it is disenfranchising? And why is it so bad to prove who you are and that you are registered to vote there? Like was stated, you have to show ID for anything anymore. Why are some Dems so against showing ID to vote?

I thought my irony/sarcasm was obvious enough. Where you been this evening? lol

I'll spell it out. Liberals say you disenfranchise voters by requiring an ID, even if it's free. I pointed out that in RI, even the Dems agreed to a photo ID because in that case it helped their cause. Hence, they "disenfranchised voters" just like they've criticized the Repubs of doing. Read this tomorrow, it may make more sense to you.

And to continue. What's so difficult about a free photo ID? You are supposed to take some personal effort to vote anyway. You need to register, which used to take some effort. You need to get your ass off the couch to go vote, even if to mail it in.

Yes, the Dems have been making it easier and easier to get their voters who won't get their ass off the couch to register and vote. What's wrong with helping them get a voter ID photo as well, so long as it's legit? I see no problem with a photo ID. RI got it right, assuming it's free and legit.

Sorry, been home with pneumonia and not always up to date on things, and my sarcasm detector is on the fritz. Got it now.
