Covering your ears and going “lalalala” technically counts as not hearing but it’s still misleading

You are the one who has to make a case for impeding the right to vote.

??? if you’re voting as you, you have to prove it’s you. If you go to a bar, you have to prove you’re 21. If you get on a plane, you have to prove it’s you. Telling someone they have to show it’s them seems like bare bones common sense

You don’t have a protected right to go to a bar or get on an airplane.

you have a protected right to own a gun. You still need to show id to buy a gun.

Because there is no federally issued and easily accessible voter id card.

Drivers licenses cost money, so you’re putting up a financial barrier to be able to vote. Also not everyone who is able to vote works
