Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

What was wrong with the literacy test? Was it too easy? [ Post made via Mobile Device ] http://vagunforum.net/images/mobile.png UMMMMM, lets see: Oh yeah: maybe that it was used primarily to keep blacks, poor whites and other "undesireables" powerless and disenfranchised? Where do you thi...

Re: Baltimore Antique Arms Show

Oh come on guys, do you feel naked without cordite? Does it help to know that the Europeans were using it since the 1870s -- so you will get your share of smokeless and magazines if that is really what you want? You can always find shows with Kimbers/1911s/AR-15s. But where else are you going to see...

Baltimore Antique Arms Show

There is no question in my mind that this is the BEST gun show in the world: http://www.baltimoreshow.com/ Be there in Timonium Maryland on Saturday March 16th and Sunday March 17th. Play "where's Donkey:" I will be there -- both in front of and behind the tables -- in a red plaid flannel ...

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

Insofar as voter impersonation fraud is concerned, it really is not too difficult to detect because inevitably more than one person claiming to be a particular voter will show up at the polls, because election officers are usually drawn from the precincts where they work and have lived for a long ti...

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

The Bush Administration looked at this exhaustively and found 9 cases of possible voter identity fraud nationwide. Let us suppose – solely for the sake of argument -- that one of these cases was in Virginia. . . :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: (4 of 5) Thank you for proving my p...

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

The issues of citizenship and impersonation are different: "Impersonation fraud" -- passing yourself off as somebody else to vote multiple times or at all if you are not qualified -- is a very small problem and very few people attempt it. A "cure" that involves limiting ballot ac...

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

The Bush Administration did an exhaustive national survey and found nine "possible" cases of so-called "voter impersonation fraud" nationwide. My research suggests that the imposition of a new strict photo ID requirement would prevent around 35,000 people from voting a regular ba...

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

Well, it is easy enough for me. But not for grandma: getting out is rather difficult for her. Complicating access to the ballot for her probably means that a lot of people like her will not end up voting. In New Hampshire in 2012, about 7000 people (1%) showed up without photo ID. 1% of Virginia vot...

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

Alas, your voter registration card will not be acceptable ID either under this new law.

But your DL would be!

Unfortunately, mine is lost somewhere in the wrong shirt right now: SOL baby!

Re: New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

In 2012, according to the State Board of Elections, a "valid" employer ID meant an ID issued by an employer where you worked during the past 30 days. Of course, the election officials who work at the polls only have your word for where you work. They do not check it anywhere. That is one r...

New Voter ID Law Would Ban CCW Permit As Valid ID

The new voter ID law would eliminate concealed carry permits as valid voter ID: http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?131+ful+SB1256 :bangin: Governor McDonnell could line item veto this part of the law, or veto the law entirely.
