Some states like virginia require a photo ID.....i think like only 8 states require a photo ID....where i live nothing....
we don't have to have a photo ID but you have to be able to prove who you are..... but here they haven't really messed with any voting places... most of the time when you go in.. it is the same elderly people working there... about 6 of them.... and they kind of know you anyway... so sometimes I show nothing..... but like I said here you can only vote in one place.... iowa was pretty much the same thing... when you paid your property taxes... they automatically sent you a little yellow voter ID... no picture or anything... but if asked you just showed iti think like only 8 states require a photo ID....where i live nothing

this guy is about as corrupt as they come.......
Donald Trump’s $25,000 campaign contribution to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi (R) was problematic for all sorts of reasons, and if the Republican presidential hopeful was counting on the controversy fading away, he’s likely to be disappointed.
On Monday, for example, Trump told reporters he “never” spoke to Bondi, a claim that contradicted evidence that the Florida A.G. had personally reached out to Trump about a political donation. Yesterday, the presidential candidate clarified matters, conceding he did speak to Bondi, but not about her possible investigation into “Trump University.”
Last night, the Huffington Post reported some additional details about the simmering controversy, including a March 2014 event in which Trump opened his Palm Beach resort, Mar-a-Lago, for a Bondi fundraiser at a generous price.
Trump, whose personal foundation had given $25,000 to a pro-Bondi group the previous fall, did not write a check to the attorney general that night. But by hosting her at Mar-a-Lago and bringing in some of his own high-profile Florida contacts, he provided her campaign with a nice financial boost. […]
The use of Mar-a-Lago alone was a donation of some value. Space at the resort is expensive to rent. Trump has charged his own presidential campaign roughly $140,000 an event for use of the resort. In contrast, the Republican Party of Florida paid only $4,855.65 for the Bondi fundraiser, cutting a check on March 25, 2014.
Even the New York Times, which has conspicuously avoided reporting on this story, has broken its silence, publishing a news article and an editorial this morning. The latter argued, among other things, “there’s little doubt” that Trump and Bondi “abused the public trust.”
With these details in mind, consider this timeline of events:
* Late August 2013: Bondi reached out to Trump, seeking financial support for her 2014 re-election campaign in Florida.
* Sept. 13, 2013: Bondi’s AG office acknowledged that it was investigating fraud allegations against “Trump University.”
* Sept. 17, 2013: Trump’s charitable foundation, which is legally prohibited from donating to political campaigns, cut a $25,000 check for a group supporting Bondi’s campaign.
* Oct. 15, 2013: Bondi’s office reversed course and said it wasn’t pursuing allegations made against “Trump University.”
* March 2014: Trump offered Bondi’s re-election campaign a generous deal while renting out his resort in Palm Beach.
Trump’s operation later paid a fine to the IRS for the improper campaign donation – which had been misreported to the tax agency.
Keep in mind, there’s more than one angle to this controversy. The first has to do with the accounting: Trump used his foundation to make a donation that violated federal tax law. That’s not good.
The second is the allegation that this is a straightforward “pay-for-play” scandal: Trump wanted to influence the Florida Attorney General’s office, the accusation goes, so he cut a generous check, and received the exact benefit he wanted.
Trump has been quite candid in his explanations for why he made so many political contributions to so many candidates and office-holders. “I’ve given to everybody,” he boasted earlier this year. “When I want something I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass. “It’s true. They kiss my ass.”
Trump added at a debate last year, “I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them, and they are there for me.”
So the question in the Bondi controversy is obvious: was his $25,000 contribution an investment to an official he “needed something from”?
hell actually if you think about it.... just a typical republican!
You see, h-h, you simply REFUSE to look at the big picture of things. As much as I've explained it, you have your one track of thought here to protect your conservative view of things. It is about one party (wouldn't make any difference which party) implementing laws & rules to specifically IMPACT the voting results in their favor. Its one party that decides that my vote is or isn't of value simply because of HOW or WHO I vote for. Its the principle that NO controlling party should be able to take away one's opportunity to vote; but, that's what is happening. You say the "absentee voting" starts earliest in NC ... in general, the Republicans found that absentee voting favored their party because NC is a military state with 5 military bases here (overseas & military), thus is the reason they did not cut back on early voting.North Carolina absentee balloting begins today...earlier than any other state. Hard to have any sympathy for the people of NC over "voter suppression" if they can't manage to vote in the TWO MONTHS of early absentee voting they are given
Mac, All the people in your state have the same amount of time to vote, regardless of where they live, what party they support etc. etc. All those people you're so worried about have TWO MONTHS to vote starting today. How much damn time does it take you to vote for christ's sake????h-h ... think of it this way. If Democrats/liberals held the NC general assembly, and decided that polling locations should remain open an additional 2 weeks in the inner cities, but, polling locations outside the city limits close 2 weeks early ... you can bet your ass a lot of Republicans would be raising hell about it.
HH you just refuse to believe that your party IS trying to suppress the vote... I have posted % different articles in the past few days from different state where it is being done.... hell even posted something on Texas losing their case in the courts and just got caught STILL doing it.... and in Ohio... where a walk from the poor community to the nearest voting place takes 90 minutesMac, All the people in your state have the same amount of time to vote, regardless of where they live, what party they support etc. etc
