I don't want to hear oh they are too poor, I am flipping poor and can't buy food some weeks, yet we both have ID's, responsible people have ID's. Take a taxi or a bus and get the ID, I do not view it as a way to suppress anyone, only takes a little effort, time, and a fairly small amount of money to obtain an ID. I see no valid reason to not have an ID. Come to Canada and see how responsible adults vote, produce ID and don't whine about having to do so. |

Are you being deliberately dense in ignoring the laundry list of ids that are admissible in Canada in comparison to the single photo id admissible in some US states? Perhaps you could explain why the Canucks have that laundry list rather than a single id?
I am done here you insults are not acceptable and trigger my mental health. |

Incidentally, at some point, before I got the falsified document from the state of Texas, I was listening to a bunch of left-wing alarmist reporting about the new Republican strategy to suppress voter turnout. Apparently, the Republicans were trawling the rolls of registered voters, digging into their public records, and changing the names on their voter ID certificates. It sounded a bit far-fetched to me but either way, I had nothing to worry about, because I had only one legal name that I had ever used. EVER. Fast forward ------> I've now been given a name, on a legal document, that I have never used. Coinky-dink? I don't think so. The point is not that it is (should be) an easy fix. The point is that I shouldn't even have to. Shady right-wing ****wits shouldn't be ****ing around with my name. |

What's really ticked Leslie off is that somehow her registration card was mailed to her and contained, for the first time ever on any of her IDs, her ex-husband's surname as her surname. I certainly don't think some faceless employee deep in the Texas voter registration bureaucracy had anything to do with it, but it would be very interesting to find out what procedure resulted in the change. That would be a lot more difficult than simply following the instructions to correct the voter ID. If the registrar wanted her off the rolls, there are much simpler ways. |

Try insulting people less, insulting people the way you do, shows me how little you respect other human beings and are part of the problem instead of the solution to the current problems.

I found the information Leslie needed to correct her voter ID in 10 seconds and two mouse clicks, with the help of Google the Good. It's fairly simple.

If the state of Texas had "mistakenly" changed my name during the time that I was actually married, rather than 7 years after I was divorced, it would be a lot less suspect. I'm sure it had nothing at all to do with (1) Obama winning the White House twice, (2) single white women overwhelmingly voting Democrat and (3) the inevitable and impending purpling of Texas. |

https://texaselectionlaw.wordpress.c...-certificates/ I'm going to re-register and keep all of the documentation. If they change my name again, I'll pursue it further. |
Re: 2016 Election
Holy shit - did someone actually claim to be 'triggered'? Is BE becoming tumblr now?
I'll pop over to Reddit to see if that's true :nod: |

While Hilary is being grilled - yet again - over Benghazi, the issue of Bush failing to act on reasonable info about 9/11 is being re-surfaced, thanks to Trump.

You're suggesting that Trump is a Hillary plant, and I'm enough of a conspiracy buff to agree. As for Bush failing to act to prevent 9/11, It's All Jeb!'s Fault.:eek:

It's only a big deal if someone makes it one or is too lazy to correct the mistake, google it and probably take you less then 60 seconds to find the info you need to correct the mistake.
I have never been well off, I have never had a DMV within a convenient location as California just never had enough to begin with, and yet I still managed to get on a transit bus and get myself to the DMV office to get a license or ID card and pay the fee. Doesn't take a whole lot but the person has to be willing to put in some effort, if they choose not to, well not my problem, voting should require some sort of identification, common sense really as signing a declaration saying it's true is a little silly in 2015. It's even more difficult in parts of Canada to get an ID, yet people here don't bat an eye at needing some sort of ID in order to vote, no controversy, the poor still manage to vote if they desire to do so. Seems everything in the US has to be more complicated then it really needs to be. Helpful. Not. |
Re: 2016 Election
Leslie, I didn't mean to upset you and I didn't miss your point. My suggestion as to what ticked you off should relay that.

Dad There are several different topics getting mixed up in your brain. First, the discussion that was going on in the thread was about voter suppression. I offered my anecdotal experience (not to be a lazy whiner) as an example of how votes can be suppressed by confusion and bureaucratic chicanery. Most specifically in a Republican run state with a long history of gerrymandering and tinkering around with the rolls. Rick Perry, as it was determined by the Supreme Court, in the very recent past got his hand slapped for signing a law that was specifically written to discriminate against minority voters. I'm not imagining this and it's not all in my head. I subsequently got lectured about being lazy and too stupid to operate Google and basically blamed for everything bad that's ever happened on the planet. Charming. Secondly, the issue to which you are alluding, is about the patriarchal bullying in American society where a woman can be forced, against her will, to use her ex-husband's name when she has a perfectly good name already. Yes, that is some seriously jacked-up bullshit, I don't like it and it's not even remotely cool. There. Happy now? However, that's not why I brought up the situation. Thirdly, I can, and will, fix the situation as I see fit. I don't need a bunch of men doing all the hard brain thinking -n- stuff for me. My brain works just fine. |
