Democrats believe that black people are too dumb, or too lazy, to get a driver’s license or state ID.
And I’m the racist?

In some states, IDs are free. Not drivers licenses, or “Real IDs” but and ordinary state ID.

So the argument about cost of getting one is bogus.

“I’m pretty sure you need an ID to purchase a firearm. Guess Libs are ok with minorities being denied certain constitutional rights. Consistency was never their strong suit.” – RockMeAle

They don’t want anyone to have legal, aka openly purchased according to state and federal regulations whether Constitutional or not, firearms.
They are fine with illegal, aka stolen or similarly acquired, weapons for their own folks.
Their only consistency is what serves their agenda.

Speaking from the other side of the pond, this isn’t really solving a problem that we have particularly. There just aren’t too many issues with our in-person voting (ballot paper marked in pencil, counted by hand). Granted, it’s not going to hurt anything either.

There is another side to our voting system that I think keeps our elections clean(-er) – that you have to re-register every year, and if you don’t the default is that you’re removed from the Electoral Roll. That means the voting rolls are auto-cleaning essentially.

Being registered to vote at your home address is also a major factor in your credit score, so there’s actual personal incentive to be registered correctly.

Has been interesting watching US elections though, mostly in the way you can’t keep your eyes off a car crash. So much of it is “Wait, what? How or why is that allowed?”

The inmates and criminals are in charge. Neither group will peacefully relinquish power. There’s no safe place to escape to, no land across a vast sea in which to find refuge. The inmates and criminals are intent upon America’s destruction and the LIVs are clueless. This cannot end well.

expat,

That’s a great idea*!

*However, you are forgetting that the Republican party is completely clueless regarding communication and salesmanship.

Bravo for Britain!

It’s my understanding that European countries eschew mail-in ballots precisely because of the possibility (probability) of fraud.

Republicans should do the comparison you did and then show one every week or so. This week, US vs France; next week US vs Denmark, etc. People need to see that the US is really the outlier. Maybe they should also publish this abroad, so that foreigners will laugh at us. Maybe some will even stop getting their US info from CNN.
