    The left is opposed to voter ID because they believe 85% of illegal's will vote in their favor.

    There's plenty of stupid 'real Americans' who will also...

    There's never been a presidential election swayed by illegal voting.
    There's more at work here.

    he talks like some facebook/instagram bot.
    it doesn't even seem like he has conversations. he's like a guy in an insane asylum having a conversation with a wall. he name drops old tech and stuff about punchcards. or talking about using wifi in a coffee house all the
    time.

    he was my feed for a msg net and his uptime was horrible. then later he was the feed for a buddy of mine and same issue.

    it's hard to believe he's a manager, i honestly think he has some touch of dementia.

    notice on his website on the bottom he's using a hispanic guy in a hoody as his photo.

    on his twitter he looks even more like some bot

    While the number of people released is historically high, it does not
    reach the 15 million mark mentioned in some political discourse.

    So the claim in inaccurate but the facts are still "historically" not
    good. ;)

    The premise is invalid. You need to show proof of citizenship *and* residency when registering to vote.

    When I went to get my Real-ID drivers license I had my passport with me,
    ready to show.

    A non-citizen wouldn't be able to register to vote with just a DL - and photo ID is required the first time you vote, at least that's how it's
    done in my state.

    Same here, but every time I vote we have to show our photo ID.

    in my state when you register in person you show photo id and then a utility bill to prove you live in that area. then every time you show id and they look you up in the book.

    also we have several examples of voter fraud on paper, on camera and with

    I didn't realize people were complaining about having to show an ID to vote. But I think one of the problems I've noticed, at least in some states (including mine), is that a state-issued driver's license can be accepted to vote, and you don't need to be a US citizen to get a driver's license in the state. So that means there could be non-citizens voting. In order to vote, I'd think they should require ID that proves you're a citizen, such as a passport, social security card, etc..

    In Spain, voters are pre-registered. This means each voting table has a list of people who is allowed to vote at that table. In order to vote you need to show up with your National Identity Card and they check you and your card are in that list before they let you vote.

    National Identity Card is an "existence tax" and it is mandatory to have past a given age. It also has a cryptographical chip with a certificate for use for signing and online banking and such.

    I hate the fact it is mandatory for existing but the idea of voting tables that don't perform verifications is bananas. In fact the reason why so many people were wary of the Catanolian independence referendum was there was no verification mechanism in place so there was no way to guarantee people was not voting more than once at different tables.

    I think they would if (1) they had hard evidence and (2) the voting was
    not going in their party's favor.

    So, if they know and it is benefiting them, they damn sure aren't going to tell you about it.

    I remember having a cigarette vending machine in our cafeteria at work and being able to smoke at my desk at work in this time period.

    My first boss, in the early '90s, used to regale us of stories of "work used to be". Smoking rooms, a "shine boy" for your shoes, coffee carts going from office to office. No voicemail, there were "the girls" in an office behind the front desk that wrote down messages and put them up at the front desk.

    Odd to think that he was about the same age I am now.

    First get the computer side working then get that printer up and printing. I can remember a time when the single printer we had at work failed and I was sent out to a local 'computer store' immediately with cash to get a new one. That day.
