Who are these prople who have voted for 50 years and now can not??

Most states do have an option to get a free ID for those who can't afford it but getting the paperwork together just isnt worth it for many people..if that s your excuse..

Part of the reason might be because individuals living below the poverty line are more likely to move....Then they have to reregister and don’t
Missing work is another excuse..
Elections are held on a work day, when time often equals money -- especially if you get paid by the hour... And having a car or paying extra for public transportation to get to the polls can just add to that expense, even though seniors can get free bud transpirtation etc to get to the polls..
Being 'too busy' or encountering 'transportation problems' were the reasons why 28% of people making less than $20,000 did not vote in 2012.
Did you know that??

Do you know more people with a higher education will vote in comparison to those with minimal education~ they just dont think about politics.. They run with whatever happens and likely do not even know who is running for office.. thus the reason party afgiliates will bus people in too.. its aggrevating no doubt and also the real reason they do not go to the polls.. It isnt racism and it isnt age or even not having a way to get to the polls.. They can vote via mail in ballots too..


State-by-state requirements


Red ~~Photo ID required (Strict)
Orange ~~ Photo ID requested (Non-strict)
Dark blue~~ Non-photo ID required (Strict)
Blue ~Non-photo ID requested (Non-strict)
Grey~~ No ID required to vote

In addition, In the "strict" states, a voter cannot cast a valid ballot without first presenting ID. Voters who are unable to show ID at the polls are given a provisional ballot. Those provisional ballots are kept separate from the regular ballots. If the voter returns to election officials within a short period of time after the election (generally a few days) and presents acceptable ID, the provisional ballot is counted. If the voter does not come back to show ID, that provisional ballot is never counted.

In states with non-strict voter ID laws, other methods of validation are allowed, which vary by state. Possible alternatives are: signing an affidavit, having a poll worker vouch for voter, having election officials verify a voter's identity after the vote is cast, or having the voter return an inquiry mailed to their reported address.

So now, tell me again about the people that voted for 50 years and now can not..

How would I write a voter ID law???

First, make the ID easy to get and cheap..

Second, would not require the the supporting document to get the ID were difficult or costly to obtain..

Third, I would support the voter ID by making polling location convenient both in hours and location..

forth, in random with these 3 points I would require an update of voter registration logs to keep them accurate..

when people move or die, no one thinks to clear the names out of the registration..

Fifth, I would take steps to be sure that ballots are not "forgotten" as happened in Wisconsin on at least two occasions..

I do not think this is inclusive but on only a few minutes it is the best list I can do for now..


Oh, and of course it would have to be in compliance with all laws pertaining to rights of the voters.. If unconstitutional, it gets overturned..

Mouse,

Those people you know are not normal..

Do you recall 2 wars, plan "D", on credit cards and more of those wonderful tax cuts for the rich that the republicans put through???

do you recall the great recession?? It was world wide and only now have other economies recovered to the point the US has done..

with higher spending and less income, could anyone have done better then Obama??

do you understand that Obama deported more then any other president?

Do you recall that both Bush jr and Obama increased the budget for the border patrol by millions of $$..
