Apologies for imbeciles is not exactly a good reason for not requiring voter ID. Some people are literally too poor to receive a voter ID, and some legal immigrants don't have the appropriate documentation yet to receive one. Some people have changed their names and there are issues obtaining a voter ID, and some people just get too held up in absurdly redundant paperwork. I wouldn't say that those groups are "imbeciles". I don't know shit about this topic, but how does someone vote if they are not a citizen? I had to register by filling out a few lines to get approved. What is "absurdly redundant paperwork", and if you are so poor you cannot even afford a ID then the election is the least of your worries. The amount of paperwork to get an ID is extremely state-dependent, and I'm pretty sure the hoops you have to jump through as a non-citizen when it comes to registration is also state-dependent (though I'm not positive on that). I think some(?) resident aliens in very specific situations can vote but it's probably a pain.
Registration is entirely state run, you are correct.

1) There was no racism in my post. You're still lazy and dishonest when it comes to posting.
2) You are the one supporting laws that will restrict people's ability to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Therefore the onus is on you to provide a justification for this. "Because it makes sense" is NOT a justification, and for the 8th time, "voter fraud" is a load of shit.
So until you can come up with a justifiable reason to limit someone's constitutional right, you've got no point.

It seems like instead you're illustrating that there's an undue burden on non-"productive members of society" and "imbeciles" which as far as I know also have constitutional rights.

When I first tried to get a state ID in the US I was told that I needed to get my old ID translated. I asked her which language she would like my British driver's license translated into and she said English. I explained that the language that we use in England is English and that if she tried I'm sure that she could read the words. She indicated the ones that she was struggling with and I explained to her that those were, in fact, numbers. She told me I had to get them translated. I was subsequently just able to pay a private company to get me a drivers license because the DMV wouldn't do it after two visits.
The system doesn't work the way it should and while money acts a gatekeeper to getting things like the voter IDs they will remain problematic.

How does that limit voting rights? You have months/years between elections to register to vote.

Yes, but the GOP keeps passing laws that violate the rules set out to do it correctly. Which is the problem.

Racism: check Insulting: check Broad claims with no support: check More insults: check I hope you're referring to xDaunt there, considering he's the one calling people imbeciles and retarded for wanting to exercise their constitutional right. 2nd Amendment: Right to bare arms. Constitutional right to own a gun, full stop, end of discussion. 15th Amendment: Right to vote. Constitutional right to vote as long as you're not a poor retard. Sigh.
Sorry daunt isn't attacking someone based on their skin color, so no i wasn't.

Because it denies people the right to vote for no reason?

It's a policy that can directly deprive people who could otherwise vote of the right to vote. I don't see how that is anything other than a limitation.

You're right. But fortunately for us, courts agree with what I'm arguing.

Actually, he was completely dismissing the previously-mentioned (by me and the link I posted) fact that blacks/ Latinos/ immigrants have a harder time obtaining a voter ID, so yes that's an issue too. He instead ignored all of those other issues and just focus on making fun of poor people, calling them retarded and imbeciles.

Ah, the hypocrisy of people pushing for more government regulation of something that's not an actual problem while oft complaining about their being needless and wasteful government regulation. (not sure which people this applies to as I'm not sure which people here complained about the latter)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! LET ME DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO AN ACTUALLY FAIR CRITICISM OF VOTER ID REQUIREMENTS!
Thank you for showing your liberal brethren how it's done, Plansix.

So until you can come up with a justifiable reason to limit someone's constitutional right, you've got no point.
You attacked him for 'white privilege' among other things as a means of dismissing him and silencing his ability to respond because he's 'white privileged'
I don't support laws that restrict anyone's ability to vote. I think all citizens should have the right to vote. Continue flaming people and making shit up and calling me lazy and dishonest
About the point that voter fraud doesn't exist, that's like saying 'I lock my door and no one breaks into my home. Therefore, why do I keep locking my door? I'm locking my door to prevent a crime that doesn't exist. I should just stop locking my door.'
Stop fucking flaming people
