I feel it needs fixing ASAP as I'm kinda shocked the USA hasn't clamped down on the ID issue way before now. :(  /rant

We here have this problem with fixing it, pixii. And the problem is the criminal democrats. Once they took the house in 2018, they had a bill (law?) up for passage about voting. I recall that one of the provisions was to make it illegal to purge the voter records of dead people. That is of course, because the democrats are notorious for having "activist" dems vote in the name of dead people. 

They had other eyebrow raising provisions in the bill, too. So as long as dems have power, many things concerning voting will be deliberately left ripe for corruption in the voting booths.

We'll never have voter IDs here. The dems won't know how to win an election if we do. And they complained so loudly about Trump stealing the 2016 election. Oy!

The "democrat" party. Now *there's* a twist of irony for ya! :tu:

It's such a shame imho.  I'm not sure how else you guys are going to clamp down on voter fraud without something like showing your ID to vote?   I'm guessing the USA will have to battle it out amongst yourselves, all the while leaving yourselves open to continuing corruption which is kinda sad imo.  People almost need to get behind some Democrats, encourage them and make them think it's their idea, only then will it go through. Kinda like reverse psychology!  I'm sure it's worked both ways over the years ie. Reps vs Dems and Dems vs Reps  :)

Yeah, you would think that would be kinda like a universal thing. Democrats have fought it every step of the way though.

It's RACIST...

I don't get it either.

It has some history, but maybe things are changing enough that Democrats might work something out.

Growing up in Texas in the 60's about the time LBJ was President it was customary for the election officials to put up some impediments to discourage black voters.

Voting always on a weekday, polls closing  by 7 or 8, making it harder for some working people to get to the polling stations.

Polling places not near bus routes, making it difficult for people without transportation

A two dollar poll tax in order to vote when the minimum wage was $1.25.

No voter registration card, but a driver's licence for ID, or birth certificate or SS card I think.

Those regulations combine to make it somewhat more difficult for low income people to get to a voting place.  For low income people at that time in Texas, the majority were Black or  Hispanic.

I think the issue of a poll tax at least went all the way to the supreme court and was struck down. 

Soon enough it appears we may have universal ID cards of some sort,   The insurance, medical, banking, and online commerce businesses will probably push for something, so maybe the government will use it too..

I think the latest absentee ballot offense in North Carolina was in a Republican Primary by a Republican political activist.  The race was between 3 Republicans..

as we practice the Voter ID thing here

If we passed a law requiring a biometric ID to vote, the Democrats would instantly be against illegals.  If we also required a biometric ID to WORK in this country bothe Dems AND Republicans would bail out on supporting the madness we have today.  It's all about the benefits that their lack of citizenship accrues for their supporters in Congress.

And that is WHY congress would never pass the law. The Democracts know that they would lose a large voting block.

The answer is simple. Trump simply needs to come out against it.

The purpose of primaries is for ONE PARTY to select its choice as a representative for that election.  How does allowing all comers to make that choice accomplish the goal of the primary?  What is difficult to understand about this?  If you want to negate primaries, say so.  Otherwise, having the opposition meddle in intra-party decisions is just THAT- meddling or attempting to subvert them.  I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, just explaining the logic of the primary system.  It isn't unfair because BOTH sides use them to choose the most popular candidates in any given election.  

You totally miss my point.  My point is the democrats and republicans together do not represent more than 53% of the actual voters and they get to choose who runs in the general election.  47% of us have to choose the "lesser of two evils" or vote for the third choice if there is one.   That is not fair voting practice.  You support a system that supports the corporations over the people.  The primaries are a dysfunctional bastardization of the original design that keeps certain people in control and caters to big money.

I disagree. The 47% of you, assuming that is correct, aren't doing your job then. Third parties and independents throw their hat in the ring all the time but if they don't get the support they need they can't primary. Bernie Sanders is an independent. He gained steam but besides you not drumming up enough enthusiasm for your candidates the other part is that there is no reason to because many third party options end up sucking. Dumbass Gary Johnson comes to mind.

No, there are no primaries for independents in my state, we get primaries for democrats, republicans and libertarians.  (and the libertarians are new to most of the U.S, though they have had primaries for 20 years or so in Texas).   So, how do we support a candidate when the voting system does not support them?  It is rigged from the beginning anyway, the democrats and republics decide who will run in the general election before the primaries are started.  If you think that is not true, then watch the democratic convention in 1973, and in the 80's when Dukakus ran with Geraldine Ferraro.  They were not chose by the delegates, they were shoved down the delegates throats and nothing has changed since then.  When Clinton ran the first time he and old George was put out to pasture.  That was not the voters, that was the party leaders from both sides.

Maybe you're right. What do I know? I would almost agree with the rest except I think Trump proves that the right guy with enough money can do just fine on his own. You really think the Republicans chose him to run?

Only crappy part being..."with enough money" but point made.

Perrot did pretty damn good before handing Clinton the election by dropping out 5-6 months before the election...

Ron Paul just didn't have the cash or recognition needed to put a dent in the numbers.

No, I think who ever runs both parties (think of a pyramid, one boss or group at the apex). chose him.  He is a puppet just like any one either party supports.  There is an agenda and the puppets usually make sure the agenda is followed.  Nixon and maybe old George Bush cut some of the strings and one was taken down, the other put out to pastrue.  Reagan is proof of this as he was already suffering from alzheimers the first time he ran.

Can't run a campaign without it though. Staff and travel are a must NTM advertising.

Trump is no puppet. He's hated by the establishment because he won't conform.

If Trump were hated by "the establishment" then he would have never been allowed to run, much less win.  He is the ultimate "conformist" as he has no real opinion of his own, just sound bites and incendiary remarks to  keep people emotionally off balance.

See and that's why no one can take what you say seriously...that's your emotional opinion of Trump and not reality. F3SS is right. Trump took them all by surprise and is managing to get things done because he doesn't follow the well laid out procedures of kowtowing and submission.

It's ok if you believe that.  I have been watching it a lot longer than you have.  Don't worry about me.

And you can only speak for yourself, it is your opinion that "no one can" take me seriously.

He's not a b-grade politician making decent money. He's a well known billionaire with the attitude, money and resources to fight back and buy security for himself and his family.

They couldn't stop him. The people weren't going to allow it. He became way too popular way too fast and besides who's going to push him around without him telling the world about it? That's why they, the establishment, came up with the insurance policy. Hillary was the chosen one and he screwed it all up for them. I digress on that and you're wrong about being a conformist.

I find it funny that there's quite a lot of American's that see Trump as a media personality.  I must be getting too old as I've only ever seen him as a rich playboy businessman who's always liked to have beautiful ladies on his arm.  He's always been someone to brag about what he has, and I get that.  I don't even find that offensive because some people are just like that.  They need to boost themselves up to feel better or keep their confidence up and I guess I just see him as one of those types.

Do you feel that the tv show he had in the US contributes as to the reason why some people see him as a media personality rather than a politician?  I might not see him as a media personality because I never watched that tv show either.   

I see him as a politician now, only because he was voted in and is now the president.   At worst, imo, Dems should be joyously thinking they only have to wait 8 years at a maximum to be rid of Trump and be ready for the next leader.  At least you guys have that in your favour as opposed to living in most other countries where we don't have that time limit of a max of 2 terms of 4 years.  To give you an example, I think we had some priminister for 15 years straight at one stage here!!! :lol: 

There are positives to each side, no matter which way you look at it, so that's always a good thing.  :)

I remember at the time, there were a stack of my friends online that were Democrats (from Cali and Hawaii in particular) and they were incredibly worried that Hillary would get in, even though they were Democrat!?!.  Meanwhile my Republican in-laws (who live in Scottsdale AZ) in particular were very worried about having to vote for Trump. 

I think perhaps a lot of people were stuck between a rock and a hard place.  Which one to choose?  Hillary who people knew was a career politician with some sketchy decision-making she'd made previously vs the rich playboy businessman with crude humour and had no problem calling out those he disagreed with? What a dilemma right! :lol:   

Personally, I think the media and the internet gods (the silicon valley ones :lol: )  have a lot to answer for with regards to getting people's hopes up during that time, especially for the Dems.  I have no doubt in my mind that it wouldn't have been such an outright disappointment for them if there hadn't been such hype created by the media re Clinton in the first place imo. 

Do you guys that are both Dems and Reps feel this way too?
