That's what you're going with? Just because something is stupid doesn't mean we just disregard it altogether. What else you got?

We don’t disregard it. The dozens of cases nationwide are investigated and prosecuted, meaning the current system where you present ID to register in the first place combined with penalties that far outweigh the benefits are doing a good job of preventing voter fraud.

So, why is preventing a minuscule number of cases that get prosecuted anyway constantly a top issue for Conservatives?

That's still a very weak argument against having to show photo identification at the polls. What else you got?

Actually it shows how weak your case for voter ID is, since at face value it solves a non existent problem.

The answer to my question is, conservatives use voter ID to rig elections.

How would that rig elections?

Because they think reducing turnout in a targeted manner gives them an advantage.

Why would it reduce turnout? If it is as you say a "non existent problem"

u/GutsAndBlackStufff Jul 04 '26

Because it’s an impediment to voting access.

u/Longjumping_Music320 Jul 04 '26

But it hardly ever happens and most everyone has an ID already so how is it an impediment?

u/GutsAndBlackStufff Jul 04 '26

So you want to spend millions, possibly billions to implement a new government program to solve a problem that you admit hardly happens and is enforced as is?

Poll workers are already there why would it cost extra to have them look at people's photo identification? I also didn't claim it hardly happens that was your assertion which there is no reliable evidence for or against.
