Whirlybird@aussie.zone 1 week agoI’m sorry but “voter suppression” isn’t a thing, especially when something as logical and simple as “have ID to prove you have the right to vote” is constantly called “voter suppression”.

that absolutely is voter suppression… voter fraud is not a real problem. if it were, sure! let’s do ID… but the fact is, it just doesn’t happen: the only way to actually move the needle is large scale voter fraud, and the systems in place absolutely catch that… a single vote (as much as we say your vote counts: it does, but more figuratively) doesn’t matter 1 bit

If voter fraud isn’t a real problem then you should have no issue making sure it can’t happen.

i have no issue making sure it “can’t happen” - a non-issue regardless - to give people warm and fuzzy feelings
i do take issue with making it harder to vote for some of societies most vulnerable

The whole “vulnerable people” line is complete bullshit lol.
