RE: Help me understand why anyone would be opposed to proving citizenship in order to vote

I have a better idea: let's agree it's too hard to get ID, and start dismantling the system we've been handed by our ancestors who trusted government too much.

Sort:  

There are lots of reasons not to trust government but getting an ID is not hard.

Only a racist would suggest it's easy to get ID! 🤣

getting a driver's license in North Carolina is a huge pain in the ass! But that is just because the DMV is the most inefficient establishment in existence on the planet and is a case study about how the government will do anything in the worst way possible.

My local DMV (in Florida) isn't too bad provided you make an appointment. The process for getting a state ID is pretty much the same as getting a driver's license without the testing requirements of course.

I wonder if my state just has a seriously bad version of the licensing procedure. When I talk to people in other states it certainly seems like we do!

DMVs have a horrible reputation in general though. As luck would have it, I have an appointment to renew my driver's license this afternoon and also become RealID compliant. We'll see how that goes.

I know that when I go I know I am in for an all-day affair. The people behind the counter, I wonder what sort of arduous process they have to go through to get the job done because it just seems like a snail-pace process for an ID.

this made me laugh. good one!
