So you don't think that anything is common sense unless someone tells
you, i.e. attempts to appeal to your common sense, in which case it is a falacy?
That would explain a few things.

If I had not seen it with my own eyes, when I was younger I would have never believed that people would be afraid of their own freedom. I
have gotten where I am no longer shocked by that, and expect it out of most people now.
There are so many things that you need an ID for in order to do them legally. For example, I had to have an ID in order to get my first COVID
shot. I don't see any logic behind not requiring proof of ID in order to
vote.
So now we should require IDs not because they solve any existing problem but just because they're required for other things? That's an interesting take on things.
The Lefties have learned from the Communists that if you keep the people focused on keeping themselves safe, they won't rise up and get rid of the corrupt gov't.

In many/most places, including here, you are already required to show an ID to vote and have been at least since the 1980's. An interesting take on things is coming up with idiotic reasons why one should no longer
have to.

Not here. It used to be that a voter registration card or even a utility bill would suffice. So we are being forced to change for the same idiotic reasons that you don't want to change.
What else do you think IDs should be required for?
What do I think they SHOULD be required for, or what else ARE they required for? Here if I don't have an ID, you cannot legally buy
alcohol, operate a vehicle, buy a firearm, enter a local, state, or federal government building, or even get a COVID shot. That is just a
few of several things.
I don't really have any strong feelings about adding IDs for anything,
but that doesn't mean I think they should be removing existing requirements.

I needed the photo ID to register to vote and obtain the said voter registration card (add that to the list above). I MAY have even needed one the first time I signed up with the local utility company.

Voter registration cards and utility bills are not valid forms of ID for voting here. In general, photo IDs are required, although there are some curious exceptions. A concealed carry permit is acceptable, but a student ID is not. Is somebody afraid of students voting?
I registered to vote when I got my driver's license.
So what's a few more? Voter ID wasn't added until relatively recently.
ID has been required for at least 40 years here. It is not recent.
You indicated (above) that voter ID and utility bills used to be valid, which is why I asked how it is EASIER to have one of those when you have to have photo ID to register to vote or sign up for the utility company
to begin with.
I would assume the different in concealed carry vs. student ID is that
one is issued by a government entity and one is not. Here, a government employee ID is sufficient but other non-government employment IDs might not be.
Here, driving age is younger than voting (or draft or drinking) age. To get your initial driver's license, and register to vote, you needed some form of identification (birth certificate or something) to prove you were who you said you were, that you lived where you said you did, and that
you were of age to drive and vote, right?

Geez. If GWB would only have caught them at the border, preventing

On 29 Apr 2021, Mike Powell said the following...
Not here.
I didn't need a photo ID to register to vote, since I registered to vote at the same time I got my photo ID.
I did, but none of those were voter ID.
They required a driver's license here this year, too. Now I could do
like you and spin that into some horrible thing that was done to
suppress my vote, but it was actually done because science. Unlike
other forms of ID, the DL has a barcode on the back. In order to hold
in person voting in a safe manner, they had one voting location. In
order to determine what precinct we live in, they scanned the back of
the DL, through the plexiglass, so they didn't have to handle it.
You needed something to prove who you were in order to get the photo ID, and prove your age.
You needed them to get a voter ID, which you did when you got your DL.
Also, your assumption in another thread about tracking devices is not correct. If you were using my cell phone to track me, you'd be disappointed. It has not left the house since just after Christmas, but
I have and, since I was driving several of those times, so did my photo ID. As I also disable the GPS crap you probably be at least partially disappointed even if I was carrying it.
Oh yeah and you've still not proven how having a photo ID is a burden.

Absolutely. No more getting away with toilet stall graffiti or failure to flush. Right on, man.

If they scanned the back of my DL, it would not give the proper
precinct. I moved, and have only a piece of paper from the DMV with my
new address on it.
It's not -- for the majority of the white poplulation. But there are
plenty of blacks, Native Americans and others who have no photo ID --
and maybe no state ID at all. There was a incident in a mid western
state that declared that to vote one had to have a street address. But
most of the people on the Indian Reservations had no street address.

I don't know about people living on reservations, but I have never
heard a good reason why people of color who live in cities have no ID.
Getting registered to vote in the late 1980's was more difficult. I
had to go all the way DOWNTOWN to do that. If I was living in the predonminantly black parts of the city back then, the registration
place would have been much closer to where I likely lived.

precinct that you are voting in because of all the local option stuff (state and local offices and other local option votes). IIRC, they
will LET you vote if you are at the wrong precinct, but only for the
state or nationwide races like governor or president.

If you need one to register, you should be able to have/get one when it comes time to vote. IMHO, it should not matter if it is expired, but it probably does in some places.

IIRC, they will LET you vote if you are at the wrong precinct, but only for the state or nationwide races like governor or president.
If you have an ID from another state, and it is a Presidential general election, they will even let you cast a provisional ballot here, but you cannot (legally) vote for any other offices and have them count.
So they don't mind letting you vote so much as they do the possibility that
you will vote in races that you are not eligible to vote in.
They MAY let you cast a provisional vote like that if you have no ID but I cannot swear to it.
Someone showed up real early for our 2019 governor's election and didn't have an ID. They have some process in place but it is a LOT easier if you have an ID.
-- to get a COVID vaccine
Not so sure about that one. I cannot recall if I showed a picture ID

They did here. They would not let us in the building the second time without showing one (maybe the first time, too). They also took them the first time, along with our insurance cards. Not sure what they would have done if we didn't have one or the other.
That was at a central/mass vax site. Not sure how they did it if you were able to get it at a pharmacy. If you had the insurance card, that might have been enough for those sites.

That might be up to the landlord, but I would advise it -- as well as

They don't believe lying is wrong if another leftist does it. If a
non-leftist says something, it can be a lie even if it is true. A
direct quote that is later reprinted word-for-word might no longer be
what was "really said." Quoting it might even be telling a "big lie."
That's all part of the "postmodern" junk that they have been indoctrinated with. For them, there's no objective truth. Everything is subjective. So
there is no "true" or "false" in any objective sense. Hence the concept of
"my truth" and "your truth".
They don't understand that there is no "my truth" and "your truth". There is
only "the truth" and "your opinion". But they've been conditioned through "school" that their opinions are important - just as important as your knowledge.

Biden was friends with the Amtrak conductor at the center of the story, Angelo
Negri. But Negri had been dead for more than a year and had been retired for more than two decades before the earliest moment they could conceivably have had the supposed conversation Biden keeps describing, CNN reported. Biden's account simply does not add up. Biden did not reach the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until September 2015, according to his own past comments. But Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993 and died in May
2014, according to an obituary published online and in the
Asbury Park Press, a New Jersey newspaper.
Biden had told several versions of the story this year, each debunked by
CNN.
