Voter ID and Such

[White_Unifier]

Requiring ID is not too much to ask. I could see maybe allowing four types of ID to be scanned: passport, state ID card, driving license, or finger print. I'm sure most voters carry their fingers with them everywhere they go. Correct me if I'm wrong. The culture might be different in the US.

I'm sure a person who really cared to vote would make the effort to get the appropriate ID and maybe even have his fingers scanned so he could vote even if he lost his ID. That could be doubly good for crime investigations too. Massive finger-print database. If he doesn't want to give his fingerprints, then make sure he bring his other ID. More than reasonable.

American voting is Third World level.

From voter fraud to hanging chads - its just one shit show after the next.

Are you saying the US should have a voter ID law?

So you're saying the US should have a Voter ID Law?

More than a million undocumented immigrants have received California driver's licenses

More than 1 million undocumented immigrants have received driver's licenses, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday.

Assembly Bill 60, authored by then-Assemblyman Luis Alejo in 2013, required California DMV offices to issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants as long as they can prove their identity and residence within the state. The law has led to 1,001,000 undocumented immigrants receiving licenses as of March 31 but doesn't give the licensees carte blanche to drive outside of California or fly across state or federal borders.


"Immigrants are getting tested, licensed and insured and this is making our roads safer for everyone," said Alejo, now a Monterey County supervisor, in a prepared statement. "Today, we see the law working the way it was intended to and has dramatically improved the lives of a million immigrants and their families."

Twelve states plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Undocumented immigrants were free to receive driver's licenses anywhere in the U.S. until 1993, when California became the first state to restrict access and 45 others followed suit.

It would seem to make sense to me. If the concern is with people losing or forgetting their ID and such, then let them scan their fingertips. Americans usually carry their fingertips with them everywhere they go I assume? Correct me if I'm wrong. Might be a cultural thing.

Voter ID Laws are racist.

Are you saying that the US government couldn't access fingerprint scanning technology and than African Americans don't have finger tips? What a strange country you have.

Are you alright?

 

[Curious Cdn]

Are you alright?

"Are you all right?"

 

[EagleSmack]

"Are you all right?"

Did I introduce you to a new word?

 

[White_Unifier]

Are you alright?

That was a gross assumption on my part. The US is an exceptional country.

 

[Hoid]

A thousand-word essay to say that "Voter fraud is a legitimate problem".

There ya have it amigos.

Anyway, I agree.

....aaaaannnnndddddd 7 years later you've managed to trim it down nicely.

You don't even need 100 these days.

Yeah, not like Canada where you vote for a party representative who can be booted from the the party at the whim of the PM. Without losing the votes they garnered from that person. And of course no photo I.D. is necessary to vote in Canada....oh wait. :lol:

Do you not understand that there's a difference between voting and party membership, or do you just drag out your pet whine whenever you detect a comment that is somewhere in the same ballpark?

He should have specified elected representative. Can the speaker of the house , kick elected representatives from their parties caucus ? The Prime Minister of Canada can .
Is the leader of the party required to sign the nomination papers of all candidates in your country , as in ours ?

Do you not understand the system of voting for a party and NOT an individual?


In the US, you don't vote for a party in the presidential election, you vote for a specific candidate to be President. Every voter in the US can vote for one or the other directly. In Canada, the only people who can actually physically vote for specific candidates for PM have to live in said candidates' riding. Everyone else has to vote for a "party representative". Elections are won based on how many votes a PARTY gets, not how many the candidate running for PM gets.
For those who have to vote for representatives to a party, if said member gets tossed from the ruling party, the party still gets to keep the votes that person garnered while those who voted for them are left with zero representation, except as an independent back-bencher or unless they cross the floor to another party. But their votes still don't go with them.

Yes, I know all that.

What does that have to do with your whimpering about Trudeaubama expelling somebody from the party? It's your system.

You sound like those Yank imbeciles grizzling over the Electoral College, a feature that's only been in the Constitution since the day it was ratified.

But remember, The US-American Politics forum is the PERFECT place to whimper about features of the Canadian government system that you don't like and that don't exist in the U.S.

Which really leaves a head scratcher if the PM punts a representative from a party, it should go back for a constituency confidence vote in their representative IMO

Maybe you should make rules for how YOUR posts and threads are responded to. You got bent out of shape on your thread about Space X when I poked fun at a CANADIAN anti-oil doofus cheering a private company that relies on fossil fuels to power their rockets. And now you're all bent out of shape because I responded to that same CANADIAN ironically whining about the US voting/electoral system on a CANADIAN forum.



New rule for Tec's threads folks. No responding to other people's comments in those threads. Stick specifically to the topic at hand or he'll get all butt hurt about it.
