Why are the poors even allowed to vote in the first place? What kind of 3rd world shithole has America become?
Sheesh.

As I said, you use a driver's license. If you don't travel outside of the country you live in, your passport is a paperweight.
If you want to argue that only property owners should be allowed to vote, I'd agree. But the poors are what swing elections, so...
only proves residency of that state.
there are 30 million LEGAL foreigners in the US that get valid state DLs / IDs
True
I was just saying all those forms of ID cost money where I live, maybe you get them free if you don't have $$$.
My point is just that using a passport seems silly because it's a pretty flagrant attempt at charging people to vote.
That's why you have voter information cards. This isn't fucking rocket appliances.
All good.
Voting is quite different among the 50 states, I hadn't even really thought of it until now.
What about only allowing taxpayers to vote?
They could pitch it with the slogan "No representation without taxation."
It's pretty straightforward here. When you turn 18, if you're eligible you go on the roll. When an election comes up they mail you a voter information card. Which has your name, address, etc on it, and tells you where your poll is. To vote you bring it and a piece of government issued voter ID.
Absentee ballots are very important in alot of northern states where it's literally unsafe to travel that time of year or distances are significant, are important for the elderly who take a risk with any travel, and are obviously imperative for our servicemen and women abroad.
Set up 500 hoops to prove identity & right to participate, no real citizen will complain. Removing ALL mail in ballots, in conjunction with ID/same day paper ballots, would be a net loss for conservatives imo.
I've got a whole list of people who shouldn't be allowed to vote. You don't pay taxes, you don't get to vote. You don't own property, you don't get to vote. You're a civil servant, you don't get to vote. You're the recipient of a government contract, you don't get to vote. These all pose very obvious conflicts of interest.What about only allowing taxpayers to vote?

Here when you turn 18 you're supposed to register to vote and register for selective service (the draft). It's just what you do. Lots of gen x never did either because they didn't want to war and they didn't want to deal with jury duty and other civic responsibilities.
You give up stuff like grants & loans for college if you go that route.
No, I've spent most of my life in these places.
how do these voter information cards prove you are a citizen ?
"Voting is the most important thing!!! Oh, a dusting of snow. Guess I won't be voting this year"

@MountainMedic , probably
They're only issued to eligible voters.
Who is proving/verifying they are eligible ?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Unlikely, fucknuts."Voting is the most important thing!!! Oh, a dusting of snow. Guess I won't be voting this year"

Most of this state has been under feet of snow since long before the last election. It was a fucking slip & slide, in a very capable jeep, driving into town to vote that day.
I don't know what part of maple slurp country you live in, but apparently they plow your roads and shovel your walks for you on a regular basis.
Why are you even yapping in a thread about not your country?
