It’s a bribe,it’s illegal
This is an example of how poll taxes and other limitations can be manipulated to exclude people from voting.It’s a bribe,it’s illegal
Only if he talks to the individual and hands them a check/cash and tells them to go and pay off your debt and then go vote for this person. Then you might have have point.It’s a bribe,it’s illegal
ID’s are required for social benefits. If they already have an ID to claim benefits, why not require that ID for voting?This is an example of how poll taxes and other limitations can be manipulated to exclude people from voting.
Legal requirements can be manipulated. There was a law in PA forbidding a universal ID, that probably would have made the use of cards for government benefits from being used for voting id. It sounds like a good idea, but there are always complications.Dovekin:

You’ve drawn an unnecessary equivalence between ID’s and poll taxes.
Poll taxes I can understand. ID’s I don’t understand. At all. Not one single bit. Not when IDs are required for literally every other function in the economic and social welfare arenas. Except cash. And even that’s going away someday.Not that this is an argument I was making. It is an explanation of why Democrats oppose IDs. It is the history of abuse that leads them to oppose limitations on voters. Poll taxes and voter ids were just exaples to help explain.
What is he this week?Bloomberg is not a Democrat.
It should go nowhere, but it depends how many anti-voting Republicans are involved in the investigatory process.And now it’s under investigation…
In the case of Planned Parenthood and abortions. The government says that the money goes for logistics only, and not abortions.Paying a fine allowing someone to vote is different than paying them to vote. There is no stipulation that they actually vote. That’s pretty simple.
I think this is an interesting series of events to look at.In this case, it is tricky. However, I like to think. What if President Trump spend 16 million, to help felons vote? How would this be reported, and how would I feel about it. And it does not feel right either way. But what is done is done.
They are applications. What’s your point?Family of 4.
Received 8 Mail in Voter Applications.
Yes Republicans tend to be more of law and order. I do not know all the details in what you posted, and I do not trust the media much. I blame the media for the current state of America.The Republicans didn’t like that, and they controlled the legislature and the Governor, so they threw roadblocks up in the form of a law that said before the voting rights were restored, the felons must pay off all debts , including restitution. This was not mentioned in the Constitutional amendment.
The thinking is that some of these people will never be able to pay the fine or whatever, so the amendments purpose is being thwarted.Paying the debt of a crime, to be restored your voting rights does not seem harsh. But I bet there can be good arguments to be made in both sides.
I did say there can be good arguments to be made either way. There is also the Crime. So until you pay the debt, due to your actions you lost the ability to vote.The thinking is that some of these people will never be able to pay the fine or whatever, so the amendments purpose is being thwarted.
So, is it law and order, or suppression of voters you know probably won’t vote for you?
