Please make another thread if you wish to peruse this topic... Sorry, Joether, but it's similar enough. Unreasonable search and seizure is being claimed. You are also griping that you are having to prove you aren't doing something illegal before exercising a right. I'm surprised you can't see the similarities to requirements to entry of a public courthouse. I doubt that's true, though. You just don't want to have to defend anything that might show your prejudice.

But, in like fashion, voter id is an unconstitutional invasion of my right. (twice, at least).

And, how does requiring every voter show ID not an "everyone" thing? You do understand a metal detector is safety precaution, right? Our rights are more easily infringed over safety concerns. The simple fact remains that coming up with a very restrictive ID requirement to vote is clearly a partisan attempt to restrict voting unless you can show there is a widespread problem that needs to be addressed. Until then how about dealing with the actual abuses like the one that definitely changed the outcome of the 2000 Presidential election. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Central_Voter_File

And, how does requiring every voter show ID not an "everyone" thing? Your talking about two entirely different situations. The first is a voting booth, the second a court house. In the first instance, one is protected against unreasonable search and seizure. In the second case (i.e. the courthouse) it is not unreasonable to search one's person through a metal detector for two good reasons: A ) Most weapons are metal (i.e. firearms), B ) There have been plenty of instances in which metal weapons have been used to injure/kill others in the courthouse. Also, a metal detector does not spot fake IDs; it detects metal.... quote: ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri quote: ORIGINAL: joether Whether entering through a metal detector or not in a public courthouse, is well off this topic.

I'm surprised you can't see the similarities to requirements to entry of a public courthouse. I doubt that's true, though. You just don't want to have to defend anything that might show your prejudice. This topic, is about VOTER SUPRESSION THROUGH PHOTO ID LAWS, not what goes on at a courthouse. Unreasonable search and seizure as it applies to a POLLING STATION, not a courthouse. I am not griping about anything; simply stating that by law I don't have to show my Photo ID under the 4th amendment; if I was guilty of something, I would not need to say anything under the 5th amendment. But it is up to someone else to say: A ) I am not who I say I am, B ) I am not living where I stated I lived, or C ) A combination of 'A' and 'B'. The evidence on the table is that voter fraud is so completely low as not to be even a tiny factor in the election results at state and federal levels. Not one person, supporting such laws has shown actual evidence to back their argument up. However, people have noticed that these laws do nothing to increase voter turn out, but have a large factor on less turning out to vote. When only a small number of people vote, special interests win; when many vote, America wins.

quote: So it's a strawman argument to ask why you need an ID to do damn near anything else important, and even a lot of things that aren't important at all, but not to cast your vote? I didn't post the picture in response to a question--which, after all, isn't an argument anyway. I posted it in response to a trollish effort to ascribe ludicrous positions to folks who disagreed with the poster.

The problem with the bulk of analogies presented as "logic" in these threads is completely ignoring and/or denying any sense of scale. To equate a murder with a voting violation as if the same principle ignores other data and principles, notably that murders are far more common and the results far more serious. It makes sense to take stronger measures to ensure against them, especially in high-risk locations, like a courtroom, and where the lack of those precautions would interfere with the justice system. No doubt, the next post will be "So what you're saying is" and going on to insert something dramatically removed from anything I said. That's why debate goes on pointlessly here.

You are grossly wrong. inconveniencing people to protect lives is one thing because lives cannot be replaced. There is simply no evidence that people are voting under false ID's so there is no problem to solve. The law is a blatantly partisan ploy to keep Democratic demographics away from the polls.

It can't be because they are poor since you have to have id to get medicaid. So what is the problem? Even your aunt managed to get a copy and while you told us it was difficult, I find it hard to believe it would have been an easier for her if she was a republican. So why is this such a hard thing for you guys.

If we don't require ID, how do we know that right isn't being interfered with?

mnottertail -> RE: Oops. Voter ID advocate Asa Hutchinson forgets Voter ID at polls (5/29/2014 2:38:52 PM)
How do we know that anyone is not committing a civil or criminal violation at any time? How do we know someone is keeping the law?

Get them fetuses a voter id so we know. guess that is what you are monkey fucking around with here, the concept of rights as concerns our constitution. Remember, you are either a strict constitutionalist as you bray here all the time without having a handle on the constitution, or you are full of shit as a christmas goose, which I will leave as an exercise to the reader.

You are the one who keeps claiming it's to stop democrats from voting. If this is true then please explain why it's harder for a democrat to get an id than a republican. And as to changing the system, you already have to show id to vote here and it isn't a big issue.
