Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

there is no real debate, just like there is no real debate that climate change is happening.
It is a ruse, a “big lie” repeated over and over again as a long-term strategy to gain authoritarian control.
So if someones ID expires and the "save" act went through, I'm curious if they would actually accept a birth certificate. It's not like a birth certificate even could have a photo ID on it. I believe it or not have grown about 200lbs since then. So the picture would be useless anyways. Then obviously people point out that a birth certificate is useless for anyone with a name change unless they are bringing the name change paperwork (marriage certificates or the like) just to prove they are that person. Half the country doesn't have passports do to cost and the fact that they expire as well. Drivers licenses aren't held by everyone, cost money, and also they can be legally suspended or taken for driving infractions which do not have anything to do with whether or not you are legally allowed to vote. Not to mention they expire as well.
The only way the save act would make sense is if everyone was provided free identification that was valid and you didnt need any other identification to acquire it. You don't have to own a house to vote, you don't have to be on a lease to vote, your name doesn't have to be on a electric bill or such to vote. So none of those documents would make sense to ask for.
There is no easy way to do a system that is better than what is currently in place and as far as the majority are told, there is no evidence of it being tampered with enough to change it.
