Don’t Forget You Voter Id Tomorrow If You Are Going To Vote.

[Hymie]

Apparently 2 million people have been disenfranchised because they don’t have an acceptable form of photo ID, and have not applied for a Voter Authority Certificate.

But remember this has all been done to stop voter fraud.

At the last local elections within the UK, there were 7 allegations of personation fraud, which resulted in zero cases in which any evidence was found – so money well spent on a problem that does not exist.

^^Another clown post. Applying for your voter ID doesn't require "intelligence" it requires action and intent. Although I can understand your own confusion in these matters.

//most voter fraud is from postal votes so I'd stop them.///

Cant agree entirely with that TTT. I often spend a day as polling clerk or such like at a polling station. It is never at my own polling location so I have to have a postal vote or else I am unable to vote. I am in attendance before polling begins and there until it is over and cannot leave my designated poll position during that time. Proxy voting is not an option for me but it is another method of casting a vote that needs modern scrutiny. I agree that postal voting needs rethinking and it needs to be done at the initial point. If you need a postal vote the application should be in person ... not via post or internet means.

Togo; You said "Are these the same clowns who don't know how to get a passport? Natural selection it is called. Not fit to have a vote if you can't manage to register. Bless. The eeyoo would "look after them". As long as they were voting for the preferred "candidate"."

That smacks of eugenics. Referring to natural selection sounds as though you approve of it as a useful (and scientifically respectable) way of improving the human race. That's what the real Nazis thought.
And I'm not a clown. The more times you trot that insult out, the more you weaken your own credibility as an intelligent agent.

The threshold for what is considered low intelligence is not set by you or other clowns. It would be very low indeed otherwise. Applying for voter ID with your local authority is not rocket science or an emotional "experience". It is just a little grown up thinking and application to a simple task.

Perhaps Neville Shute's solution in 'In the Wet' is the one to follow? It definitely has its merits.

By the way, I've posted before that I know, irrefutably, that postal voting pressure - actually fraud- was going on in the 1990s on a large scale amongst the illiterate (usually women) members of the huge S.Asian community in my area. Blind eyes were turned then, as they probably are today.

I’m still waiting for someone (anyone) to find a racist post from me – having apparently been outed as a racist in the past.

[theshedman]

Hymie, still waiting for reply from you to my post at 06.57 yesterday as well, or is it just us that you don't want to have to have voter ID.

[Hymie]

The difference is that in countries requiring adults to have photo ID, producing it should not be a problem when they come to vote.

But where a country has no mandatory photo ID, and then making photo ID mandatory for voting will obviously lead to some of the electorate being disenfranchised.

Now find my racist post(s).

I should have guessed it would be ok for EU members to want ID but not us even though it is easy to get and also free. As long as it's anti British you seem to be happy to write about it.

[Hymie]

I did not say that it would be OK for EU members to want ID but not us; in fact I did not mention the EU or the UK in my reply.

[theshedman]

It was implied in the answer though as you were answering my question. As the EU do want voter ID and we have started asking for it where is the difference. Seems to me like we are following them regarding this so you should like it.
