    Should follow UK?s lead and REQUIRE voter ID for voting

    Should the US follow UK?s lead and REQUIRE voter ID for voting ?to eliminate corruption and fraud?


    Donald Trump has said the United States should follow the United Kingdom's lead and introduce 'photo ID to eliminate any corruption and fraud' in elections.

    Sharing his thoughts on voting laws, he said 'all States should pass Voter ID laws'

    That would mean the US would 'never again have an election rigged,' he added
    Trump pointed to the UK's example to 'ensure the integrity of elections'

    The Dem's are against it using the argument that it's difficult for some people to get registered to vote!

    I wonder how difficult is it for anyone to get registered? Can someone explain...

    Republicans mounted an aggressive case Tuesday against Democrats? election and voter-access legislation, pushing to roll back a number of proposals

    Republicans are fighting a national campaign against it rooted in state battles

    In the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been forced to defend his plans which will require voters to prove their identity before casting ballots

    Campaigners have warned that people without ID would be disenfranchised

      I think your list says it all and why isn't voting included?

          Funny how the "slippery slope" is cited in opposing any gun laws, but not as applied to voting.

          "Well you see," goes the argument, "guns are a foundation of liberty, and constant vigilance is required!"

          But voting isn't?

          Just saying!

          Comparing voting to getting store credit or adopting a pet does in fact trivialize voting, and undermines the argument that voting is more vital to safeguarding our liberties from tyrants, than say bringing home Mr. Whiskers from the shelter.

          It shows a disregard for Democracy, which is what they've been saying is the problem for awhile now.

              I think Togor's attempt to justify an ID for voting above kind of sounds like double talk... and rings hollow for the justification!

                  Comparing voting to adopting a pet was your move, not mine.

                  Fact is, people who are suspicious of government are nonetheless arguing for tying the ballot up in more government red tape.

                  And they can't see the irony?

                  Have to wonder what our great-grandfathers would think of this. If we're being honest, it would depend on the region of the country.

                    It should have to be a Real ID, no ID that federal limits apply otherwise "NO VOTE".

                      it's true,
                      we had to show ID to get a cat from a store , years ago,

                      and when we got the 2 rescues we have now,



                      wake up,,


                      showing an ID that everyone has anyway is an easy was to end the vote issues,,



                      my patriot ancestor did not have ID when he signed up 3 times, but then no one really did, but it's not 1780 any more either
