It's really insulting to minorities when dems insinuate that they are too stupid and/or des ute to acquire an I.D.
Not only that, mandatory I.D. polls very well. Something like 70% agree with it.
Do you guys actually know the law in Texas?Yes nobody has ever cheated
I want mandatory ID.
It looks like none of you has voted in the last three years.

I am not referring to TX
You first, since you brought it up.
Since you'll keep repeating yourself like a re ed Chatty Cathy doll, what specific changes do you have issue with?
Just say you don't have an answer. Admit you have nothing.
Drive up voting. 24 hour voting. Multiple drop off locations. Multiple polling stations. Convenient weekend poll hours. I don't think there was anything wrong with the way the election in 2020 was conducted. Don't fix what isn't broken.
Your turn: Why did Texas change voting laws again last year?
To what state are you referring?
My guess is, we won't need the lax voting provisions of 2020 (because of covid) in the next election.
What do you mean by "lax"?
Be specific.
Were there actual problems in 2020 or is it just some hysterical fear you've got in your mind?
To recur for a moment to process, the OP started by whining about changing the Senate rules to protect voting from cynical attempts to limit it, now Darrin and Dirks are defending voting restrictions the Texas lege twisted the rules to introduce.
For those who don't remember, Texas (R)s set the calendar back one day after the special session had already expired to change the Senate rules, have an all night one party conference committee to change a bill members had already passed, inserting most of the things you just mentioned, then cut off all discussion and debate about those changes the next day.
The Dems walked, denying the quorum, but most of the crapola Texas (R)s introduced that day got crammed down our throats in a bespoke extra special session to address the dire public emergency of Texans voting in elections in slightly larger numbers.

Except for say situations like the voter ID law in North Dakota that required a physical address knowing full well that thousands of Native Americans lived in a reservation and didn't have a legal address. In that case it actually is pretty difficult for them to get an ID that complies with state law.
What's wrong with anything he listed (24 hour voting, multiple drop boxes, weekend polling hours, drive-up voting, etc.)?
This is why I laugh when Republicans claim this is just about muh voter fraud, to them it's clearly about abating access to the polls.
Maybe they just prefer inefficiency and standing in line all day.
That's definitely what they prefer for inner city voters.
I've complained about shady NY election laws a probably a half dozen times in this forum, nobody seemed to notice or care.
I kinda doubt you do either, Darrin.
Actually existing voter ID laws are a solution in search of a problem at the level of declared intention ("secure elections"), but in practice they address a well-known "problem" -- black folks voting for Democrats.
What do you say was "lax" about voting in 2020 that had to be changed in your opinion?
Election security is a fig leaf.
CC, Dirks and Darrin are on the side of George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis.
Typical Whinehole hyperbole. Just proves the original post was dead on.
Why was voting changed in Texas in 2021?
Almost right. Fake electoral slates were sent for seven states.
What hyperbole? Are you for protecting g voting rights or against it?
Your purported principles and procedural concern trilling have been thoroughly dragged in this thread. All that remains is Republican will to power through voter suppression.
Comparing us to the President of the Confederacy is pure hyperbole, Whinehole.
Why was voting changed in Texas in 2021?
ok, withdrawn. but I'll keep George Wallace and Bull Connor.
