Despite Foreign Threats, Senate Republicans Block $250 Million for Election Security

[Jack]

Why would anyone oppose voter ID?

I don't know? Who opposes it? That would seem to go along with Election security.

[TOP]

Is that what we have now?

Yes...the 250 was "extra"....

[PostmodernProphet]

I just answered you. Trump won, so it worked well. And Russia will probably help him win again.

is there some kind of medal we can give them?......we should show them some appreciation......

You wouldn't think photo ID would even be an issue, would you...? Seems like some feel that it's "unfair".... Pretty silly right?

[PostmodernProphet]

why spend money on polling place security when the Obama administration investigated and found that not a single vote had been tampered with........all we need to do is keep Russia from cooperating with the deep state.......

Makes sense to me. Where's the problem? Is that what the extra money is for?

There you go. I'm guessing that won't cost anything.

Don't know....IDs aren't that expensive...

Maybe some people are living close to the Poverty Line and if there is a choice between medicine and Voter ID Card, they have to pick medicine?

Well, duh. Their guy can't win without Russia.

It appears to me that the RUSSIA threat was taken care of when those who colluded with Russia in order to alter a US ELECTION were exposed. Comey, McCabe, Hillary, Clapper, Brennan....etc.,

The real threat to our free election system was from those who were to stupid to realize they were being used to spread RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION as evidence when none of it (the Steele Dossier) was ever verified or tested for accuracy and truth. THREAT OVER....the game was over when AG BARR declared, No Collusion (between Russia and the Trump team)…..No Obstruction.

The only thing our national security needs to be SECURED FROM.....are the people who were in charge of securing our national interests. Looks like the threat was more DOMESTIC than FOREIGN in 2016....especially when BHO ordered our federal police forces to STAND DOWN from investigating RUSSIA. https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news...acks/36273651/

Reality: Mr. Trump is doing a great job in defending the oath taken via all those who swear to defend our constitution, "....do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, both FOREIGN and DOMESTIC...…………" When our 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th amendments have come under attack DOMESTICALLY from certain fascist representatives calling themselves....THE ELITE ALL KNOWING agents of a certain political organization who paid foreign agents to spy on their political opponent....Mr. Trump has taken fast and effective action against those threats.

Voter IDs were offered for free here.... No need to make a choice....everyone should have an ID....

And they don't even seem to care about how the optics of this appears, eh?

Sounds good to me.

Tell us again.....WHICH POTUS was it that ordered our federal police forces to stand down from investigating Russian attempts to hack into our cyber networks? BHO? In hind sight its easy to see why this order was given. His own Sec. of State was using an unsecured personal server and it would be a most embarrassing thing to find our national secrets in the hands of the Russians when some federal cyber expert actually caught Russia red handed. All this RUSSIAN interference happened under the watch of one Barry Soetoro....unless you want to give credit to the Russians for the democratic victory in house during the Midterms. If not....why not? Did the Russians suddenly decide not to interfere when the democrats won the house back?


How do you like those OPTICS?

Photo ID versus Non-Photo ID

“About half of the states with voter ID laws accept only photo IDs. These include driver’s licenses, state-issued ID cards, military ID cards, and passports. Many of these states now offer a free voter photo ID card if you don’t have another form of valid photo ID.

Other states accept some types of non-photo ID. These may include birth certificates, Social Security cards, bank statements, and utility bills. Each state is specific about the documents it will accept as proof of identification. Be sure you know your state’s voter ID requirements before Election Day.”

“FREE voter photo ID.”
