Be thankful Susan Collins votes with us at least some of the time. She's the best we're going to get out of Maine, period.

If there is ONE single piece of legislation to be passed in Trump's 2nd term, it has to be national Voter I.D. Nothing comes close.
I am optimistic, this has to become law of the land.

Sad, but true.
In other news, local spots are lambasting her for voting for ICE funding. She keeps this up, I may even start to like her. A little bit. Maybe.
Not surprisingly, the ads are entirely full of bullshit about what jackbooted thugs ICE agents are. Bald faced lies.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

I heard Larry Kudlow tell Sen. Markwayne Mullin today to remind the Dem Congress that they have to show ID to vote on the Voter ID Law.

We have 53 Rs. So, who are the three asshole Trump haters that said “Nay”? Murkowski and McConnell are pretty sure bet. Relatively new Trump hater Tillis would be the third one is my wag.

Senate Majority Whip Barrasso must have gotten Collins with the bowling ball grip.
Excellent!

The reason Collins went “Yea” is that they dropped the proof of citizenship requirement (passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate) for actual voting in federal elections. Just state-issued IDs will suffice. Registering to vote in federal elections, however, still requires proof of citizenship.

Nothing will ever be 100% secure. We take what we can get.

The SAVE Act is the next Voting Rights Act. One thing no one talks about is how EVERY illegal vote disenfranchises a legitimate voter. Yet John Thune and Turtlehead McConnel are fighting to stop it. Along with every Democrat.

Question. Are you saying the original bill didn’t accept Real ID to vote? Ie, you had to bring a passport or birth certificate to vote? I must have missed that and if true then I would have voted NO as well. The whole point of Real ID for the states was that it was vetted to a reasonable criteria.
Nobody carries around their passport or birth certificate. They do carry ID.
Educate me on what the bill originally required and now requires please.

Digging out your birth certificate for one day doesn’t seem to onerous to me. I had to return home and get it for my current non-Real ID drivers license - even though when I got my very first license in ‘73 I had to provide a birth certificate.

It does to me. I think it is a bullshit idea. I was born in Austria. I do have my birth certificate and my citizenship certificate. However, I resent people asking me for my papers. I have been voting in federal elections since 1970. I don't have a "real id" and I don't want one. In fact, I refuse to get one. I also don't have a passport. Does all this mean I can't vote Republican like I have for all those years? That would piss me off.
