    Voyer ID requires other IDs. That is often troublesome to obtain and costs money. Old people, poor people, those who cannot take time off work and those without transportation, and some rural people are given an often difficult task.

    Hmm, agree overall.
    I also have a Hungarian friend who introduced me to Alex Jones & Norman Finkelstein back in 2000.

    Do you have any actual scientific study to support that claim?

    My examples are pretty easy to explain with science. How does carrying a gun reduce your risk of being attacked if the attacker is not aware of your gun? The opposite may be true if carrying a gun makes a person act in ways that increase their risk. I know of no study that points to one direction or the other. Anecdotal evidence is not proof of much of anything. We do know that having a gun in the home increases the risk of death both by suicide and accident.

    A poster named "SmarterThanYou" accusing other posters of thinking they are smarter than other people. That is irony.

    I don't know anywhere that someone can't get a photo ID for free if they cannot afford it...

    Are you going to go door to door and give everyone a free voter ID?

    No?

    So shut the fuck up about it.

Since it's important for intelligent people to set the example for our nation's dumbasses, I will start wearing a mask again when away from home. It helps that I picked up several on sale at Walmart for $1. LOL

    As the link below notes, vaccines and masks are effective but not perfect. Even 97% effectiveness leaves a 3% window of infection. What the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and other dumbasses don't understand is that even they catch COVID and survive, they've deliberately infected put an unknown member of loved ones and friends at risk. IMO, that's as fucking stupid as demanding no one who rides with them in a car should wear a seatbelt.


    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/21/delt...-indoors-.html
    Fauci says vaccinated people ‘might want to consider’ wearing masks indoors as delta variant surges in U.S.
    • Fauci told CNBC that U.S. officials are concerned that they are seeing more breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people.
    • The more transmissible delta variant now makes up roughly 83% of sequenced Covid-19 cases in the country.
    • Some areas of the U.S. are reimplementing mask mandates due to spikes in cases.



    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...th-by-age.html

    Note that the over 65 group is 95X more likely to die of COVID than the 18-29 group.
    I can tell you some amazing places in Canada to go.
