>Did you not see the links to factual evidence that I included?
You did not link to any factual evidence that made any claim contrary to the facts: Every state has free voter IDs. This is a fact.
>Most people get their in the form of a driver's license, not as a pure voter ID. If a tiny minority of people get the free option, then how is it relevant?
So not only do you now admit that free options exist, you're trying to claim they're irrelevant. Millions of people get free voter IDs, they're not irrelevant. This is a fact you just admitted to, which was my original claim. I accept your defeat.
>This makes no sense. "Walking distance" to what? I have never heard of or seen such a program. If they exist, they are not terribly effective, given that 10% of the population still lack a valid ID.
"I haven't heard about it so it doesn't exist."
>That's not how it works in Europe (at least in Netherlands and Czech Republic, where I have experience). In that case, the government already has your birth cert, so they don't force you to acquire it and then give it back to a different part of the government.
That's exactly how it works in Europe, Czech Republic. If you don't have a copy, you request a new one.
To acquire the machine-readable version of the card, a citizen must present either a currently valid card (in case of renewals), or a currently valid passport, or a birth certificate and proof of citizenship.[0]
Birth certificate. Sound familiar?
>so they don't force you to acquire it and then give it back to a different part of the government.
That's not how it works in the US, you do not give away your birth certificate to a different part of the government.
>Which, again, is why 10% of Americans don't have a valid ID, a fact that you refuse to address.
That's not why 10% don't have ID nor did I fail to address it. School is mandatory in the US yet 15% of Americans are illiterate.
>Can you please name a single US state that automatically issues ID to all voters? I can't.
Not every European country has mandatory IDs. Like Europe, every state in the US has free voter IDs. Every single state, you cannot deny this fact.
>Not an answer to my question.
You don't need a known audience to virtue signal to.
>do you categorically refuse the possibility that anyone pursues justice for its own sake?
You're not pursing justice, you're spew false propaganda and fighting a problem that doesn't exist.
>Clearly no one in the MAGA...
Whataboutism.
>You keep on ignoring important words in my comment. In this case, you specifically edited out "automatic" and "mandatory." The absence of those words is why Democrats blocked the bill.
That's not why they blocked the bill.
>Literally no state has this. I live in a red state and I have to go in and request a voter ID, using appropriate evidence. They are not issued automatically.
No country issues an ID automatically to anyone who makes a request. The ID is issued to you automatically after proving who you are. You don't need to petition the state with an attorney or pay a fee.
I'll say it again, every state in the US has free voter IDs. EVERY state, red and blue.
QED.
>Calling it propganda doesn't make it untrue.
Your statement was false, untrue. You finally admitted above that you were wrong.
>My conclusion, based on the evidence presented in this thread: Either you are a terrible debater who consistently disregards evidence
Poor conclusion. Find a single state that does not have free voter IDs.
>intentionally ignoring evidence that disagrees with your preconceived conclusion.
No evidence disagrees with my original statement of fact:
Every US state issues a free voter ID cards. Even Republican strongholds.
QED.
