Not a Biden faithful but one needs to acknowledge that there are people who refuse to get vaccinated.  I’d be interested to see of those 200k, how many were fully vaccinated?  You know context.  Kinda like the Browns have won 4 NFL Championships doesn’t really explain franchise success.

 And again don't they need identification to collect welfare checks or food stamps?  Or any of the dozens of other things that have been listed at nauseum?

 And why does it seem that only democrats are up in arms about identification at all?

WSS

I can’t speak for “Democrats” but I’d wager this would be a larger factor in major cities where driving isn’t a requirement. Now many of those could be strong Democrat districts.

I’m not so naive to believe that there isn’t a  measurable amount of voter fraud.  I just don’t believe it’s a new concept or as rampant as many would have us believe.

We should do our very best to protect the integrity of our electoral process and I have no issue with voter ID.  That is just one component.  We need more secure technology, better on-site staff, greater access and a complete overhaul of campaign finance.

No. The materials they print it on and the people they have to pay to facilitate the license cost money. Quit crying and scrape up 8.50. 

That’s why taxes are collected. To pay for government services. And no one is crying just staring an opinion but carry on.

The Trumpettes are only loyal if you do exactly what they want.  They’ll be coming for Kavanaugh, Roberts, Thomas and Coney Barrett next.

 Do you consider the right to own a firearm a constitutionally protected right? If so are you outraged somebody might ask for an ID?

WSS

Yes and no.  I’m not outraged that ID would be required for voting, just think it should be free for such purposes.  

Wish I had today off.  This move doesn’t affect my life one way or the other.

So difficult. Look if people can't put in such a minimal effort I don't think they should get a say. I bet at least half the people that claim they just can't swing the $8.50 find the money to buy cigarettes. 

I consider the right to vote to be constitutionally protected.  If the government requires ID to participate it should be free IMO.

Why?... We need an ID for everything else...

I think that is very true but DMV issued IDs have a cost associated with them.  If IDs are required, make them free and a bit easier to obtain.

58,000 non-U.S. citizens voted illegally in Texas elections ...

Jan 25, 2019 — Texas election officials say 95000 non-U.S. citizens are registered to vote in this state and around 58000 of them have cast ballots here since

 

Illegal immigrants are voting in California and 'it's going to happen in your state soon'

https://www.foxnews.com/media/illegal-immigrants-voting-election-integrity

Again, c’mon man.  The Texas article uses terms like may and could.  When questioned on how the results were tallied, no response.  Then it goes on to say four women indicted on voter fraud,.  When not 58,000?  The California link is an opinion piece by Tomi Lauren 😂

A $4.2 million effort funded by Broadband for America, which includes major internet providers like AT&T, Comcast and Charter, reportedly accounted for more than 8.5 million of the fake FCC comments. Millions more were submitted by a teenage college student in California.

Good job NYS AG

‘Evidence’ yeah he said disappointing jobs report is proof we are on the right track 😏

Just now, Vambo said:

19 in that instance just imagine how many more that were not investigated and reveled.

There are many more but you will make excuses anyway.

Not making any excuses.  There is a difference between making the leap from 19 to 19 million.  In addition you don’t know who each person voted for.  This narrative is not new.  Every time an election happens illegal and cemetery voting is brought up.  Nothing is done because the secret is it is better argument fodder than it is over turning elections.  Just went through a Congressional race that came down to a few hundred votes.  They were looking at ballots for stray marks, addresses, voter registration, etc..  not once was illegal or cemetery voting mentioned. One of the candidates is a HUGE Trump supporter.  I guarantee if they believed it would’ve helped them win, they would have raised it in the case.  But there again.  I’m looking for objective data, not conjecture.

So none and you're only OK with it as long as it's someone else's money got it!

Again, complex question.  I pay a substantial amount of taxes and I believe in NYS citizenship is not required to receive benefits from Social Services.  In addition the $15,600 to be paid is NYS funded to which I’ve explained I contribute. So yo answer your question more thoroughly, indirectly I’m supporting my stance but no illegal immigrants live with me.

19 votes isn’t enough to overturn a local alderman race in East Bumfuck New Jersey.

How about the actual quote 

Biden reacts to weak jobs report, says US 'still digging out of an economic collapse,' but on 'right track

That’s a very good question but I think separate from the undocumented worker unemployment payment.  
I’m all for immigration reform as long as it’s reasoned and comprehensive.  The problem is, like most things on this country, polarizing with little objectivity.

Show a picture ID and be a legal citizen easy as can be!

I’m on the fence with the ID aspect of it.  If the DMV would issue a voting only ID, free of charge, with less ID requirements, I’d be on board. 
 

I believe the non-citizen argument is propaganda.  The same as the dead people voting.  If may happen but at a rate so low as to not affect results.  Otherwise we would see tangible court cases where elections were overturned and Election commissioners fired.

The Illegals were very happy in New York they were trying to give them $5,600 checks

It’s actually $15,600 and I’m completely ok with it.  Until employers stop hiring illegal workers, I have no issue with them receiving the same worker protections the rest of the proletariat enjoy.

I think suppression is another term that is misleading and needs to be cast aside.  I would like to see technology embraced and election protocols reviewed to make sure voting is as easy as we can make it.

And Americans love it too.  We are in the process, where I live, to name a location as part of the National Park system.  This will mean an influx of Federal monies to the area.  Residents are very happy about it not realizing everyone has a “pork” project in their backyard.

Whether or not you believe the press release by Coca-Cola on the topic is your choice.  They have stated that slide, while part of LinkedIn where the training module was located, was not part of the required employee training.
