    Politics and voting has become the lesser of 2 evils. 1 party believes that riots are justified and do not take a hard line to prevent prevent property damage, 1 party believes a nation can tax it's way to prosperity, 1 party believes that anyone can walk over the boarder and get benefits and have the same rights as a tax paying citizen. 1 party constantly plays the it's not fair card.

    Serious question. Are ID’s required for the online convention?

    I do not know but the idea of needing a photo id to vote being offensive and oppressive is a joke.

    Daily certain that if an individual truly had no way to get to a place to get a photo id that there is a gov't program to assist the individual.

    Tried to verify but seems like the media is not looking deep into it.

    Trolls do not take a stand for anything or say what they truly believe in, they just....troll. Kinda like hanging around a bow hunting website and not bowhunting.

    I want to say you needed ID to get into the venues. Doesn't make sense for the online.

    I know for the RNC in town, they have daily corona tests for those going to the venues... With results in hours.

    I assume there may be similar process for the DNC. As for elite, if your a delegate/invitee for either party, a dubious honor...

    Germs troll game evolving, using emojis now instead of the LOL. But Germ's response was textbook troll.

    In NYS you have to sign the book next to your signature. Do you really want ro know how closely they compare them?, No I really don't think you do.

    Still against it. Because it would be a **** show to have 100% mail in votes for anything, along with anything the gov tries to throw together at last minute, Iowa voting app earlier this year would be one example. Postal service already said they couldn't handle it and there's really no need for it in the first place.

    Signatures change over time. That is a useless metric.

    There is the point, after I left inspection I literally did a Dr. type scribble on a new inspector that didn't know me at all, turned book around and sent me on my way. We turned dozens of people away one year because they'd been told the DMV would register them with new address. This is a small township. At least a half dozen an average cycle were told they had to travel 40 mins away to county seat and sit in front of a judge to vote if allowed.

    Option 4: we say screw it to the entire school year across the country. In the grand scheme of things, graduating high school at 19 instead 18 for a generation wouldn't be that bad of a thing. In fact, an extra year to mature before getting out of high school make actually do a lot of kids some good. Under the circumstances, I would rather my kids have a year to be kids without all the pressure of school than spend a year being pressured in school with a completely dysfunctional educational experience.
