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.

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.

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.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
