There are police stations all over the place and they're already quite experienced at identifying people without ID so it shouldn't be a problem for anyone.

Libtards can rejoice in the fact that no one will need ID and people who care about voter fraud are probably going to be satisfied with this solution as well.

Problem solved.

Libertarians are about individual accountability and responsibility.

If you are interacting with a government service or function, your citizenship by definition must be verified in most any Libertarian structure I've ever heard of. It is to verify you are a party to the social and legal contracts which govern voting.

Libertarian != Anarchic

Police stations already exist and it is already their job to prevent crime.

I've never heard of a libertarian who was opposed to preventing crime.

Keeping the whole quote for a righteous pwn. However, not for the reason you probably think.

I got lazy and used the capital 'L' as in the party. Not the lower-case 'l' to mean, general philosophy.

There's a REASON I am not a "Libertarian" party member, and it is the jack-ass-ed-ness involving their inability to put any practical, workable governance structure around most of their ideals. I've stated on the board before a for-instance of that: Ron Paul's foreign policy. "Just let it happen" is not a terribly good foreign policy stance or structure.

Libertarian (little l) ideals pretty much all begin with "consent of the governed" and "contract" and "social contract" somewhere in the first sentence or two. It's simply not possible to have a contractual relationship where one party is identified, and the other... isn't. Particularly an exercise decidedly about logging that every individual is indeed in a contract with the government and vice-versa (voting).

Of course not. Why would you even ask such a silly question?

BTW, do you like my idea? It solves the voter fraud issue without requiring IDs. The solution gives libtards everything they admit to wanting. Only reason they might oppose this idea is if there was something they wanted but were avoiding admitting.

The police identify her the way they would anyone else.

She votes and goes home.

Of course it wouldn't really be much of an issue since we both know she doesn't exist and even if she did exist she doesn't vote.

More like:
A thirty-five year old hispanic American shows up to a police station in Arizona and in Spanish, tells the Duty Officer he wants to vote but has no papers. The Sheriff walks in and says, "We got ourselves one now boys! Yeeehaw!" The duty officer says, "Squeeee!" in intimidating mockery. This is, of course, the signal for Officer Squee to come out and translate Spanish for the upstanding young American.

I've never been in a police station to be identified. Please explain the process. And plenty of 80 year old moderately disabled women vote. Just because you don't see them in your basement doesn't mean they don't exist.

In Ancient China, prefects were government officials appointed by local magistrates, who reported to higher authorities such as governors, who in turn were appointed by the head of state, usually the emperor of the dynasty. The prefects oversaw the civil administration of their "prefecture", or jurisdiction.


Prefects were socialized paul. doh!

I'm convinced. A remote control seems to be the perfect solution for voter fraud. We just install little boxes in every home and hook them up to a TV and people vote on the remote. Presto, no more voter fraud.

JFC just because Paul's googling sucks today doesn't mean the fact isn't true. We've covered this before. Lrn 2 read. In case you learn in the next 30 seconds:

One source posted:
In Great Britain, the police function was historically performed by private watchmen (existing from 1500 on), thief-takers, and so on. The former were funded by private individuals and organizations and the latter by privately funded rewards for catching criminals, who would then be compelled to return stolen property or pay restitution.

In 1737, George II began paying some London and Middlesex watchmen with tax moneys, beginning the shift to government control.

Are they going to issue a voter photo ID card for free so they person doesn't have to come to the police station next year?

For years, I voted at a fire station. I'd have no particular objection to voting in a police station. I find it ludicrous, though, to claim that the police have some mystical power to ID people that the rest of us don't have. As usual, paul has made a flat assertion with nothing to back it up.

Once again, if anyone can show evidence that voter fraud that can be prevented by photo IDs is a serious problem, then, I'd be okay with requiring them. Using the fact that that have been virtually no convictions for this type of fraud of evidence of just how pervasive it is doesn't count.

A solution in search of a problem.

Got a link for that?

JFC just because Paul's googling sucks today doesn't mean the fact isn't true. We've covered this before. Lrn 2 read. In case you learn in the next 30 seconds:

One source posted:
In Great Britain, the police function was historically performed by private watchmen (existing from 1500 on), thief-takers, and so on. The former were funded by private individuals and organizations and the latter by privately funded rewards for catching criminals, who would then be compelled to return stolen property or pay restitution.

In 1737, George II began paying some London and Middlesex watchmen with tax moneys, beginning the shift to government control.

[/quote]



Ummmm paul said police have been around before socialism and then posts a link that states law enforcement started in ancient china which was socialized.

If the point is about police predating socialized police which is the only point relevant to this, asked-and-answered.

If the point is about police predating socialism, which is a semantic point that has really nothing much to do with the thread... IDGAF.

And if the person has no finger prints on file, how are they to identify the person? Some sort of magic the rest of us don't know about.


Oh hey there's that old person no one knows, put them through the super duper special secret person identifier machine!

An estimated 15% of voting age folks. Seriously, there is virtually no voter fraud that could be prevented by picture IDs. Seriously.

It makes it harder to vote for no reason whatsoever.

Elderly citizens are less likely to possess government-issued photo identification.
Survey results indicate that seniors disproportionately lack photo identification. Eighteen percent of American citizens age 65 and above do not have current government-issued photo ID.9 Using 2005 census estimates, this amounts to more than 6 million senior citizens.

About the only reasonable measure that could be taken IMO is a Thumb print system simular to what law enforcement uses.It could match prints from year to year,check to see if the same print appears on any other ballot and even be ran against the areas known felons and wouldn't cost anybody anything(directly) or give any unwarranted info about them....but the right wouldn't go for that because it doesn't disenfranchise anybody.

Plus, just imagine the outcry when people are told their fingerprints would be kept on file! The government would be potentially tracking them every time they touched something! shock

Obviously a system requiring a photo ID would be much less intrusive.

What a stupid topic. Vote fraud happens all the time during the republican primaries but somehow people are all concerned about someone not having an ID during a general election? I worked as an election judge last election. We have the voter rolls and use an online database to make sure nobody votes twice and that only people on the updated voter roll can vote. I also handled any issues that arose with people who weren't registered. This usually only happens when people just moved to the state and didn't register yet.

The only voter fraud that can be impacting during the general election would be made at the software level. In fact Romney's friends own the manufacturer of the software.
