So what are you saying? Folks should just roll up and be like "I can't be bother to get my license updated as required by law, but let me vote here because I live here now. Trust me."
And if you actually move in October, you will be a small minority.
What I'm saying is there are better ways to handle this than a rule that gives all the power to the government and also gives the government the ability to DENY YOU YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE.
Seriously can you think of any right more important than voting? Even the 1st and 2nd pale in comparison to the right to vote. Without the right to vote none of it means anything. That's the whole reason this is such a huge problem to begin with.
Yet the solution everyone seems to be all in on is to just throw away thousands of REAL VOTES as a quick fix to getting rid of an unknown number of fake votes. No one seems interested in setting up things so we know what is fake and what isn't. Don't bother digging into the truth. Just throw the baby out with the bath water. We didn't need the baby anyway.
Let me put this another way. Whatever solution we come up with to these voting problems it can't be a solution that gives the government more control. Yet that is what you are all suggesting that a petty government bureaucratic rule is more important than a citizens right to vote.
I would remind you that you are dealing with people who's favorite weapon is lawfair.
Like I said... part of the problem. You're right I didn't offer a solution because I can't force you to wake up and realize what you're doing and how wrong your thinking is. You are like everyone has been for two hundred years handing power to bureaucrats. The solutions should be obvious... simple things like extend the time to something more reasonable say 90 days.
Instead your solution is to allow lawyers and politicians to set arbitrary guidelines and if a citizen falls outside of those guidelines they are stripped of their rights... rules are rules. So sense that applies to my voting rights too then does that apply to the 1st amendment and 2nd amendment too. If I don't re-register my gun every year or two does that right just expire as well because some rule says so???
I'm not trying to solve a problem or offer a solution because that is easy to do by anyone with half a brain that actually values peoples right to vote. I'm trying to wake you up and make you realize you are carelessly throwing away the right to vote like its nothing.
The worst part of all is you aren't just giving the government power over you... you are stripping yourself of the ability to have any power over the government. Its the one thing we do that truly has real sway over them is vote and you just toss it aside like some rule is more important than that power.
I'll say again that I understand rules are important, but at what point are you going backwards and defeating the whole purpose of the rule to begin with? Don't bother answering. You just think on it.
We need to fix voting to eliminate fraud... doing so by stripping people of the right to vote isn't the right way to do that. So proceed with caution... please.
Also, having basic requirements is not 'stripping people the right to vote' or going backward, it's a basic set of rule to keep people from gaming the system.
Sorry, if you can't meet them, then you're probably too dumb to vote anyways.
You provided nothing. Just long rants of emotional bullshit that disconnected from logic.

You want to bitch and complain but offer no solution? Your whole post is garbage. Like a liberal rant.
Requiring people to file proper paper work when they move is a fucking part of life. Grow up and be responsible.
If they don't file the correct change of address, then they can't vote. Simple.

The fuck are you talking about?
We're talking about filling a change of address 30 days before an election to ensure only the correct people can vote in the election.
What the fuck do you want? No id? Wide open voting? Come on it!! Vote for my mayor!! You don't live here, but vote anyways!!
The fuck.is wrong with you.
