Afghan Elections Held This Week

The Taliban had asked people to stay away but they came and used their ID! Third world country requires ID? US blue States? Nope.

Curious how people who are literally risking their lives and harm to their families and villages are willing to show ID to vote when the "vote early, vote often" crowd here in the US of A make such a fuss about it. I guess it's harder to vote more than once if you have to show ID and dip an appendage into some permanent ink...

Gee, Fred, what an absolutely stellar (but irrelevant) apples-to-oranges comparison of voter-ID rules.

But it IS down to your usual standard... Still don't get it, do you? But, you already knew that.

The NY Times itself said less than 1% of voters don't have photo ID. And it would have minimal effect on most elections. Polled Americans want people to present photo ID to vote. The only people who don't want photo ID for elections are extremists on the Left.
