IMHO: V**er Photo ID is important, and necessary. It is the v**e counters that determine who won an e******n so it is important in an argument of who v**ed to have photo proof so the counter has no choice of which of the duplicate b****ts is legal. Photo IDs are NOT any more difficult to obtain than a drivers license or a non-driver card, unless you are illegal and/or in one of the anti-USA states that issues drivers licenses out of c*****rjax boxes or sanctuary states.
Well, although I don't like to be wrong, but I would like to correct a couple of things I said above. I went into the Blue Springs, Missouri Drivers License office to renew my drivers license yesterday and things have definitely changed, and not for the better. We now have a Drivers License that is "not for identification," and a "Real ID" drivers license which requires several forms of ID and a Passport to get. I got the "Real ID" drivers license because the deadline for having one is October 1, 2021.
Now, I said it was not difficult to get an ID here. I was wrong. I was second in line at the office, which is operating under the C***d farce of isolation and masking. Arriving an hour earlier than the office opened to stand in line did help me a little; it got me into the office before many others so I got one of the few available chairs and didn't have to stand outside on this somewhat chilly morning like those who were further down the waiting line. They said they would text you when your number came up if you wanted to go do other things, but my cell phone doesn't text, so I couldn't leave.
In this office, they now have a computer registering system to determine who is first to be "helped," and it is NOT the "first in line!" The system can register people on-line, and although I was second to register in at the office, there were a great many who were registered on-line before me already, and I sat there for nearly 5 hours before my turn came up. The lady that handled my renewal was very pleasant and all went well once I finally got to the window. What I thought was going to be easy turned into a half a day wasted wait due to their computer registering system that I was unaware of.
Being a bit on the elder side of life, I was lucky I finally got waited on when I did. Had it been much longer, my bladder would have caused a rather large wet spot on their carpet because they wouldn't let anyone use the one toilet they had because of the C***d farce. They were lucky I had skipped breakfast and anything to drink. After waiting over 4 hours, I wasn't about to leave and go to their suggested gas station about half a block away, wet pants or not. Just another great Democrat inconvenience they offer.
Just think, if it weren't for the Democrats and their mega-paperwork mass control operations and their political correctness and agitprop, thousands of people wouldn't have a government job. Com'on man, show me your papers!
Sorry I may have misled anyone in Missouri, or anywhere else, about how easy it is to get a photo ID. The day before, I had stood in line at the Lee's Summit, Missouri License office who didn't have the computer system and was a subcontractor office, for 20 minutes until some lady came out to see who wanted what and told me I was in the wrong line for what I needed to do and they wouldn't be able to get to me that day. This was a bit annoying, especially since there was only one line and no signage or evidence that another line existed. She also chewed me out because my mask wasn't over my nose; Hell, the line was outside the building in fresh air. I guess she was well indoctrinated and programmed but a bit under-educated about what masks will do or won't do.
When you are dealing with a Democratically controlled office, in a Democratically controlled county, that is just how Democratic policy works to confuse the public. They keep people confused in order to mask their shady operations. Hopefully, we will one day get out from under Democrat (Mob) control, but we have been trying for years and the Mob Machinery is very well entrenched here in Jackson County, so it will probably be a long time coming. Doubt if I'll live long enough to see it. No, I'm not a Republican, they're nearly as bad as the Democrats. If I was a praying man, I'd pray the USA someday has a president again.
