The left is opposed to voter ID because they believe 85% of illegal's will vote in their favor.

There's plenty of stupid 'real Americans' who will also...

There's never been a presidential election swayed by illegal voting.
There's more at work here.

it doesn't even seem like he has conversations. he's like a guy in an insane asylum having a conversation with a wall. he name drops old tech and stuff about punchcards. or talking about using wifi in a coffee house all the

he was my feed for a msg net and his uptime was horrible. then later he was the feed for a buddy of mine and same issue.

it's hard to believe he's a manager, i honestly think he has some touch of dementia.

notice on his website on the bottom he's using a hispanic guy in a hoody as his photo.

on his twitter he looks even more like some bot

The premise is invalid. You need to show proof of citizenship *and* residency when registering to vote.

When I went to get my Real-ID drivers license I had my passport with me,
ready to show.

A non-citizen wouldn't be able to register to vote with just a DL - and photo ID is required the first time you vote, at least that's how it's
done in my state.

Same here, but every time I vote we have to show our photo ID.

in my state when you register in person you show photo id and then a utility bill to prove you live in that area. then every time you show id and they look you up in the book.

I didn't realize people were complaining about having to show an ID to vote. But I think one of the problems I've noticed, at least in some states (including mine), is that a state-issued driver's license can be accepted to vote, and you don't need to be a US citizen to get a driver's license in the state. So that means there could be non-citizens voting. In order to vote, I'd think they should require ID that proves you're a citizen, such as a passport, social security card, etc..

In Spain, voters are pre-registered. This means each voting table has a list of people who is allowed to vote at that table. In order to vote you need to show up with your National Identity Card and they check you and your card are in that list before they let you vote.

National Identity Card is an "existence tax" and it is mandatory to have past a given age. It also has a cryptographical chip with a certificate for use for signing and online banking and such.

I hate the fact it is mandatory for existing but the idea of voting tables that don't perform verifications is bananas. In fact the reason why so many people were wary of the Catanolian independence referendum was there was no verification mechanism in place so there was no way to guarantee people was not voting more than once at different tables.

At my first job, we had a midrange computer managing ordering, sales,

I think years ago that the states should have agreed on a common format
for drivers licenses, but the rollout of REAL ID has felt overbearing

Agree on both counts. In some states, like mine, the county court clerks were responsible for issuing the physical licenses. When the Feds forced Real ID, it
overwhelmed their offices because people wanting one couldn't, or refused to, follow the simple directions that the state had been broadcasting for months, and some of the smaller counties didn't have the extra manpower resources to deal with the new requirements.

So, while the largest urban area in the state still has multiple offices, the rest of the state only has regional offices which require appointments and
can be burdensome to get to.

The state did their best to make it less heavy-handed but it did not work out.

It's totally fair for law enforcement and TSA to have some commonality between license formats.

Agree, so long as they are mostly uniform but also still handled on the state level.

That is why I didn't get a Real ID as I already have a passport. IIRC, the passport is good enough for most things but there may have been something I would still be restricted from doing without it. Whatever it was, it must have been something I didn't care to do.

Ours look mostly the same now, too. Back when I renewed my license in 2019, I want
to say the Real ID was about twice as much as the regular license, which had gone
up quite a bit because they made it look like the Real ID (but with the "NOT FOR

I wish I'd gotten a passport card when I got my passport renewed. It would have come in handy. I have a real ID, still travel with a passport out of spite.

I'm saddened that most places I've traveled (Canada, the UK, France, Italy) don't stamp passports anymore. That was a cool memento of a trip and you could look at your passport to confirm trip dates.

stored on the magstrip. Because, when you buy alcohol or antihistamines
at Target, they should be able to pull the information off of your
license just fine whether you're in California or Arkansas.

Aside: I bought a bottle of wine at Target last week. They didn't
bother checking my ID. Don't know if this was a policy change or if
they felt silly asking a 60 year old with lustrous silvery-gray hair
for his ID.

Around the time of the Gulf War I was 19 and looked extremely young. I met my folks in Las Vegas between tours and went to casino's in my Navy Dress Blues. Free drinks, lots of pictures, and all the gambling I could handle. Later on I changed back into my civilian clothing and was instantly asked for ID...

You got treated that way because navy boys work hard and play hard.
They spend a lot of money.

Same here. I always looks about 10 years younger that I actually was. Funny how when I was younger I hated it when people thought I was in my teens when I was in my 20s. Now I love it when they think I'm in my 50s, or even in my 40s, though I'm in my 60s.

:)
I grew a goatee when I was 21, and there was someone who said he thought I looked like I was in my 30s.. I thought that was a little odd, so I shaved my goatee. I'm in my mid-40s now, I have a goatee again (which I've had since I was 30), and people have been saying I look younger than I am for a while now.

Some white hair started appearing in my goatee about 5 years ago though, so perhaps peoples' perception of my age will change again.. though I don't have much white hair on top of my head yet, and I haven't really started going bald yet..
