This highlights another problem at the core of our country. There is no real thing called "property". To illustrate, consider not paying your property taxes for several years. Unless you are a Dem or bigtime Dem donor, you will lose your "property" and be put in jail. We are all, in essence, paying rent. The USG, and by default (almost literally) Chimcoms, own us.
I'd have to see that poll. Extremely hard to believe. But thank you for being truthful. Guess the only answer is to boycott these rigged elections. Right?
Maybe this will wake rogan up from his wokeness.
Hey, you guys did it (meaning create this distrust). This stuff started waaaay before orangie. And, just like all the responses you are making to others, you are being disingenuous. I said, it is up to the STATES. No compromise on federal involvement.
Even an elementary understanding of American history requires understanding machine politics and elections. Voter ID is a start but doesn’t fix that.
I could be wrong, but think he was arguing the opposite. Interesting though, you link that, when it says this, "after the Democratic Party had generally regained control of state legislatures decades after the end of Reconstruction, as a measure to prevent African Americans and often poor whites (and following passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, women) from voting."
The left cheats in a lot of ways. Do you recall Hillary being provided debate questions by CNN? How about blocking the totally true NY Post story about Hunter Bidens laptop. How about Dan Rather and the hoax TANG memo just before the election. How about Harry Reid lying about Romney taxes. They lie and cheat because they can.
They did cheat, hell, it’s plain as day.
But you said an ID is equivalent to a tax. Private property... you got a problem with taxing that or are you just gonna cherry pick little slivers of facts to fit your narrative?
This is a huge topic on my LinkedIn feed. The TX AG is also getting involved. GoFundMe is definitely getting some well-deserved blowback for going woke to appease Trudeau and his minions.

A poll tax. A non-free ID required to vote is a poll tax. And poll taxes are illegal(unconstitutional technically) for federal elections because of the 24th Amendment. We're not talking about taxes more generally which are obviously legal and constitutional.
You need an ID for other things so its not tied directly to voting. Property taxes on the other hand are a direct attack on private ownership of property. If I don't pay taxes on my property the government takes it. So who actually owns it? It doesn't cost $500 to get an ID. most states are somewhere between free and $15. How do you prevent illegal voters or people pretending to be other people without ID?
None of which changes the fact that requiring documentation that costs money, any amount, is unconstitutional.
Your reasoning is so hit and miss yet you argue like you are the epitome of reason. If ID were free would you still have a problem with it? what if if taxes go up to provide ID for everyone....
If it's free it's fine. That's what started this whole conversation. Did you not read it before chiming in?
I don't know, would that be covered under apparel? Don't know if it's been legally challenged. Can you vote naked? Can't find if it's ever come up. Obviously there are bans on political apparel but are there dress codes in general? I think my polling place provided masks if you didn't have one. But yeah I would think under the current reigning precedent of Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections's interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th you can't require anyone to buy one. From the decision, "a state violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution whenever it makes the affluence of the voter or payment of any fee an electoral standard. Voter qualifications have no relation to wealth."
That is why nearly every state, every state that i know of, provides an ID to anyone who registers to vote at no expense to the registrant. Just force the rest of us to pay for it...

From your OP: If we issued a free voter ID to every citizen and nationalized the standards/requirements, which is how it'd have to be done or it couldn't be implemented, would all of y'all's concerns be addressed and you'd stop all this nonsense?
He knows this just as most others on the left do. It just tells us all we need to know about dims. They have no problem with corruptness and cheating as long as the result is getting what they want. These people are self-serving idiots who only want to take and not work for what they want. Entitlement culture who have no clue as to what the end result will be. It is like some I have talked to about disability money and welfare (abusers) The response is so idiotic it is scary. "That's what they set the money aside for." I have heard them say that the government has plenty of money and there is more than enough to handle the problem.
With all of this ID talk, how is it not everyone has an ID? Banking requires it as does receiving money/help from social programs as do Dr/hospital visits, pharmaceutical needs, and many other areas. If there are people who do not have an ID it is a very, very, very low number and those people could get one if they wanted. This excuse is clearly a lie to be able to cheat during an election. It does not stop any peoples to vote at all to require it.
Every single voter ID law provides for ability to receive a free ID. Your poll tax comparison is a straw man. Will they allow you to vote naked? If you have to purchase clothes or pay for gas or a bus ticket to get your ballot is that a poll tax in your world? Can you provide evidence of anyone who wants to vote having been turned away?
