Pete - “it’s interesting that you claim to be conservative yet want more laws to prevent voter fraud.”.

where the heck did you get the laughably stupid idea, that being conservative means you don’t support any conceivable law?

read what he said, please, and if it’s confusing to you, have a child explain it.

there’s nothing anti conservative about taking obvious, basic steps to ensure voting integrity.

When the voting system has no signs of a significant lack of integrity, it make no sense to pass laws that restrict voting. This is entirely opposite of any Conservative position I'm aware of. Groups calling out Biden trying to create a Monarchy are a joke. If anything the electorate should be concerned about the massive gerrymandering now underway in red states.

Let's keep our elections free and fair.

massive gerrymandering now underway in red states. The only way Republicans can win elections in the modern era …. Cheat while blaming others of cheating

which his what the democrats do as well, did it in CT when they redefined the one rural district that occasionally went red, redrew the lines so it now includes enough urban areas to be solidly blue. shady, but both sides do it.

Both sides do it but the Republicans have perfected it and do it to a much more extreme basis. New York is going to lose one seat but may gerrymander 5 Republican seats out.

you’re saying there’s no problem, so no need for voter id.

that would be a great argument if there weren’t hundreds is aspects in your life where you are proactive already.

you wait until you’ve had a car accident to get auto insurance?

you wait until your house gets broken into before you get an alarm?

please explain why it’s more burdensome to require an id to vote, than it is to require an us to see a doctor or pick up a prescription.

Who are these massive groups of people who don’t have an id? they don’t travel, pay rent or a mortgage, go to the doctor, have utilities to pay, etc?

it’s such a lame argument.

They've developed and used software that can map likelihood of votes down to each house.

republicans did that? wow.

now can you provide data to suggest gerrymandering is done more by the gop?

i guess since the gop controls
more states, that gives the gop more opportunities.

Once again Jim you love to make comparisons that don’t exist..

If you think Dems use gerrymandering to the degree and intent the Republicans do it your crazy

The AP scrutinized the outcomes of all 435 U.S. House races and about 4,700 state House and Assembly seats up for election last year using a new statistical method of calculating partisan advantage. It’s designed to detect cases in which one party may have won, widened or retained its grip on power through political gerrymandering.

The analysis found four times as many states with Republican-skewed state House or Assembly districts than Democratic ones. Among the two dozen most populated states that determine the vast majority of Congress, there were nearly three times as many with Republican-tilted U.S. House districts.

A separate statistical analysis conducted for AP by the Princeton University Gerrymandering Project found that the extreme Republican advantages in some states were no fluke. The Republican edge in Michigan’s state House districts had only a 1-in-16,000 probability of occurring by chance; in Wisconsin’s Assembly districts, there was a mere 1-in-60,000 likelihood of it happening randomly, the analysis found.

The AP analysis also found that Republicans won as many as 22 additional U.S. House seats over what would have been expected based on the average vote share in congressional districts across the country.

1. Republicans’ gerrymandering increases seat share by 9.1%. Over 20 years For Democrats, the study found no significant overall increase in congressional seat share when the party controlled redistricting. Democrats having legal control over redistricting does little to swing the seat share in their favor—or to correct the disproportionality drawn by Republicans. Conservatives use the redistricting pen to draw maps advantageous to their electoral chances—and they do so enthusiastically, netting partisan benefits that last for a decades worth of elections.

Maybe they should have mailed out a voucher good for the cost of an ID at your local town offices/DMV with the Stimmy checks.

You’re assuming that all people in this country have access to health care, transportation and a polling place that is open outside the hours they are required to be at work or financially able to take time off work to go and vote.
How long did people in low income districts stand in line to vote and how does that compare to middle and upper class districts?
Careful, the data exists

maybe do a million dollar drawing or free college tuition drawing to incentivize people to get a form of identification...or maybe just free Big Gulps

[wdmso]

Please look up the History of voter Id .. then come back and tell me why is suddenly became a concern for conservatives only starting in the 1950s .. and I doubt you’ll find the term voter fraud or election integrity mentioned never mind evidence of fraud as the cause for these changes .. but demographics and who’s votes. Now your getting to the bones of the issue. . But some how the the left are the intellectual dishonest ones.. 😂
