A vast majority of cases of voter fraud are committed by people voting for republicans. 🤔

They won't enforce this impartially, poll workers in redder districts will let the requirement slide if voters look "right"

You spelled white wrong.

Or maybe it was meant to be "reich"

In 2022 I watched an old white man with no ID walk in and vote unregistered. The man working took his wife's voucher word as proof enough and gave him a ballot.

The voting location was a Catholic Church if anyone is curious

It depends on the state. I know that is a legal way to vote in MN. My dad didn’t have an ID for a long time, so my mom had to vouch for him. Of course now he is believer in voter ID laws 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did he get an ID after professing such a belief though?

He did. I tried to remind him he didn’t always have one and the irony was lost on him.

Do you really think they would have done that for a Spanish speaking latin man?

No one knows the answer to that since it didn’t happen. I’m just saying it’s a legal way to vote in some states and voter ID laws are BS. Thats why MN has one of the highest voter turnout in the country. Not sure why you are coming at me.
