#Texas #VotingRights #Democrats
Having to prove who you are when you vote “restrictive”. Who cares about fair and secure elections
@Scientific Methodologist use your scientific methodology & make me, fool.
@shane3214 What fraud?
@The Morose Pittbull The correct word is ‘fraudit’.
@Steve California has a $75 billion surplus, and Governor Newsom is going to refund much of it to the taxpayers.
I think it’s funny
You need a ID to get a vaccine
But Democrats say it’s racist to ask for a ID to vote lol
They can’t really do much. They don’t have the numbers.
Lol this is such a joke. Can’t wait to hear about how it’s racist again
@jacksparrow good point. But if they came for a vaccine on my property they’d be walking out of town….
@Da Trap Pro Productions easy to call people names when you are protected behind a screen.
@Da Trap Pro Productions If one can have a say in justice & democracy, one can have an id.
@Da Trap Pro Productions the poor crackheads need to determine how everyone else needs to vote,. Does not make sense
@Da Trap Pro Productions the National anthem of America calls it a Republic not a democracy.
i thought the supreme court just ruled in favor of the bill contents? 🤔
@Stephen David Bailey your full of crap. Texas in 2020 there were at least 2 people arrested and criminally charge for voter fraud. Caught filling out ballots with other people’s names on them. Stop lying.
@Alex Mark yeah they’re both very high. The number was going around a bit early in the year when the id stuff first started, but now it’s hard to find with all the other news. States like arizona have free ids for 65+ year olds, and people with disabilities. There’s also organizations like homelessidproject. But they only cost like $12, which poc aren’t struggling to get
@Alex Mark no to cheating it’s just in uk we do it alternate reality we don’t need ID b’coz our Voting card that gets posted by the government. It’s got our Voting number and that’s our ID.. If we don’t have the Voting card we can just give our name and date of birth so the people moaning about Voter Fraud must be the ones cheating. We also have postal Voting for those with illness and disabilities so spineless repugz cry Voter Fraud b’coz they know they cannot Win an election without cheating. That’s why the orange face urangutan keeps Lying.
@Stephen David Bailey So, cite your sources. Chapter and verse. Just because you say so does not mean it is true.
@G.W. Rick When people start calling people names, that means that they are losing the argument. Typical Demorat!
Texas has the 10th Amendment on its side
Texas has nothing on their side. The future belongs to progressives. That is a fact, whether you like it or not.
@Tessmage Tessera you must live in Ca.
@Keith Crowell Texas will flip blue within the next few years.
@Tessmage Tessera sure it will, you should hold your breath until it does.
I don’t want ballots sent out in my name if I don’t request it!
dude, no ballots are sent out if you don’t request one
@Ivan Trabka that’s part of this bill.. several states sent out absentee ballots without them being requested in the last election
@MrPhilbert
Everything I don’t personally agree with is a lie 😭
@Brandy Y name them and you and I can verify with the election commission
@MrPhilbert what’s your point exactly. They themselves admitted to having outdated voter rolls. Many ballots were send to people who died, moved out of state, or they simply just got wrong. They couldn’t even send stimulus checks to the right addresses. You clowns are naive to a fault, dumb and complacent just the way the Democrats like em
Voting used to be on the second Tuesday in November. So, let’s keep it that way. In fact, let’s make it a holiday to vote.
Someone back hand that guy. Get Real. Lets vote again when theses are in effect and lets see the outcome.
“Dems opposed to common sense election security. “
@Stephen David Bailey actually Barr said there was no wide spread voter fraud. At no time did he say no fraud at all. Wording matters
@CapNate WR None of that occurred except a handful of cases, all by Repubs.
@Stephen David Bailey you are way off base. The 2 arrests made in Texas in 2020 the accused were filling out ballots for the Democratic Party. Republicans don’t vote for the other team. I live in Texas and have all most my life. Texas is a red state. Republicans don’t have to cheat, Democrats keep our decision easy every time they encourage more illegals to come on over.
@Stephen David Bailey wait you just said a handful of cases. Earlier you said no fraud in Texas. Thank you for admitting you lied the first time. This is what you Democrats don’t get, any fraud is too much
@Stephen David Bailey
First there’s no cheating.
Then there’s cheating but only republicans did it, gotcha!
NBC making a whole lot of crying videos today
“ID to vote is racist”
The left is assuming that certain demographics are “not smart enough” or “too poor” to get an ID to vote
Who is racist now?
I would think – not an american citizen, no right to vote 🤔
Racism = ignorance.
I watched a video on CPTV 20 years ago and a doctor/scientist found markers in our DNA and made it possible to trace the true origin of man by males blood. So he went around the globe for ten years drawing blood and came to scientific fact that every person on this earth comes from a black tribe in africa 50,000 – 60,000 years ago .
I saw that twenty years ago and racism still exists ? Unbelievable, sad.
Dems also say black folks can’t figure out how to use the internet.
@Co Vidio but you didn’t quote one of them. That like saying there is lots of voter fraud evidence, without providing any.
@Andrew M Just look it up brotha. He’s stated it a few times
Democrats think their constituents are not smart enough to figure out how to vote.
Secure elections is something everyone should want.
He says Republicans have to stop lying!
Huh! Sounds like he’s lying!
Having the word restrictive in the headline is indicative of your bias.
Imagine in 2021 you think a black person can’t get an id because of their skin color.
😂😂😂 ID is not voter restriction, it’s Demorats restriction from cheating!!!elderly abuse.
The Dems whined about the same thing about four years ago and the border counties had record turnout from the Hispanics. Just more of the same lame talking points. You get 2 weeks to vote in Tx. If you can’t vote in that time frame then maybe you are just pure lazy.
