The people least likely to be able to get an ID are poor African Americans.

NS Batman, I think the cost of a voter Id cant be to expensive $ to afford $?

I think most Black African Americans have cars and can afford to ride busses? The governments of many or all states and counties Provide free Bus Passes for many persons, elderly persons, handicapped persons, and I think and hope for lower income persons of all races and ethnic groups?

A few excerpts:
"The voters are saying overwhelmingly they agree with what President Trump did in office,"

McDaniel said. "As you see Joe Biden strip away energy independence and cancel the Keystone pipeline, as you see Joe Biden say, I'm going to prioritize opening our borders over opening our schools, opening our economies.

I strongly agree, we need to open our economy, while following all the necessary health guidelines like, wearing the masks I hate to wear but wear. We need to use the hand sanitizers and watch our hands as much as possible, and social distance at work, gas stations, grocery stores and merchandise stores.

I strongly support the USA, Canada, Key Stone oil Pipeline restoration deal with the government of Canada. I think President Trump would restore the pipeline deal if he runs for President in 2024 and wins the Republican Primary and the General Election.

If President Trump runs again and wins the general election of 2024, I think he would restore the legal and illegal immigration deal with the government of Mexico.

There are many more interesting points on this link to share and discuss our views and opinions. I have been watching President Trump at the Conservative Political Action Committee speak, and his speech is Awesome, strong and powerful.

I hope and trust we can share and discuss our different views and opinions on these issues in the link I have provided on this post and thread, on Republican President Donald J Trump of the USA.

It is an America custom to refer to all Presidents as Presidents:

Until plurality voting goes away, any third party that amasses a significant portion of the vote will either be rolled into one of the existing two major parties or replace it within a few election cycles.

Anything that keeps Republicans out of power is a good thing.

I think most Black African Americans have cars and can afford to ride busses? The governments of many or all states and counties Provide free Bus Passes for many persons, elderly persons, handicapped persons, and I think and hope for lower income persons of all races and ethnic groups?

It can be for people who are living pay check to paycheck. It isn't just the bus ride that is the issue. Because of the hours of the DMV (where people get ids) it normally means a person must take off from work, pay to get to a location, and many dmvs are not in easy to reach areas, sit for hours, and then go home. No there are not always free bus passes for lower income persons.

All persons except homeless persons living on the streets, of all races and ethnic groups rich and poor, live in a houses or apartment building or trailer home, pay rent, pay mortgages, buy food, buy beer, buy sodas, buy pastries, buy clothes, buy shoes, good to schools mainly if they are kids, I think Black African American Citizens, rich, middle class, working class and poor lower income persons do all these things to whatever degree they do them, I know Florida in Miami Dade County provides free bus passes and reduced bus pass prices, to students, the elderly, handicapped persons and lower income persons, so they can buy a bus pass, on a yearly basis.

Currently in Miami Dade county the bus service is free of charge for Black African American Citizens, Hispanics, Hawaiian-Pacific Islanders, Euro Americans and what ever s.

Should homeless people be allowed to vote?

This does absolutely nothing unless the taxes are higher than the cost of paying their workers a living wage.

Yes they pay rent, which they can barely afford, buy food with WIC stamps and hope it will be enough, get second or third hand clothes when they need to since their stuff is falling apart, go to school if kids because they are required to, do not buy soda or beer since WIC does not cover either. And they still barely make ends meet. Miami Dade is not the rest of the country.

Of course they did. The corporations are where the party gets its money from and everyone knows it.

So much for getting things done by finding a middle ground.

Are you saying poor people don't exist?
