How do you square the idea that "getting a LTC is just too time consuming to bother with so lets not worry about it" with "if you want to vote you should make time to get the proper ID and get registered?"
Those two things are not even close in difficulty.
If something is important to you, you'll find the time to do it.
The point of the legislation is to make it do one has to spend zero dollars and spend zero time to qualify to carry. Let's apply the same standard to voting.
I have no problem with that. Last time I checked, you need a state issued ID to purchase a firearm. Same standard should apply to voting
And I have no problem with that. As long as we make those state issued IDs easy to obtain. Which we don't do.
Very easy to obtain, actually.
No kidding. Here are the steps to procure a Texas State ID:
[ol]
Complete the identification card applicationMake an appointment at a driver license office.Provide the following documentation to the license and permit specialist:
[ol]
ApplicationU.S. Citizenship or, if you are not a U.S. Citizen, evidence of lawful presenceTexas ResidencyIdentity, andSocial Security Number[/ol]Provide your thumbprints.Have your picture taken.Pay the application[/ol]
Booray thinks that's difficult?
Maybe if people could just purchase an ID from amazon.com and have it delivered to them in 2 days, that would make him happy.
My wife has an employee that needed to do this. First appointment at the driver's license office was 7 weeks in the future.
Have you ever tried to conduct business in person at a Texas Driver's License office? They are incredibly inefficient, open limited hours and in West Texas can be an hour or more to get to.
So on paper it looks simple. For many hourly workers without regular transportation it is a big obstacle.
The GOP knows this and is using it to make it difficult to qualify to vote. It is a disgusting tactic.
If you will open the offices on Saturday, one night a week and contract to have substations at the local Walmart in underserved counties, I have no problem with voter ID. But you won't because this has zero to do with vote fraud. It has everything to do with keeping turnout low at all costs.
I have no problems with open Saturdays and extra locations. You libs want to stop the wall, open the border and allow illegal aliens to waltz right so they can vote for democrats candidates. It's all about getting more votes (even illegitimate) with no concern for the integrity of our elections.
The dnc talking point of the GOP trying to keep black people from voting is pure hogwash and you know it.
Lol, Democrat hogwash. In the same breath where you think undocumented immigrants vote.
And you believe they haven't.... you're an idiot
Less than a dozen and yet enough to put you into a perma-meltdown.
If I'm an idiot prove me wrong. I double dog dare ya. I won't even hold you to 2022: take a decade.
You're like a little gnat. "I double dog dare ya", how old are you?
Grow up child
Then tell me what you respond to? Simple requests for facts from you get met with insults.
You are wrong, sir. Prove yourself right, sir.
