Evanston, Illinois is represented in Congress by Jan Schakowsky, an Evanston resident (source). She opposes any requirement that people present identification prior to voting (source; “burdensome demands on citizens who want to vote — including photo identification laws”):
What if people want to go to the (Lake Michigan) beach in Evanston and not be subject to a burdensome demand for money? They must show ID. A “voter registration card” is an acceptable form of ID:
You need a photo ID to vote in internal Democratic elections, like to control the committees.
Tony, duh! Why would we want illegals voting for our leaders? I may be DEI, but I ‘aint stupid like Ketanji Brown Jackson. After all, I’m a White man cosplaying as a disadvantaged black man!
Let me be the first to say, “Vote early and often (D), and use a different mask each time.”
Get some closeups of Bison during your summer road trip.
Thanks, lion. As far as I am aware, there were no bison on our United Airlines flight from ORD back to DJT/PBI (there is an FAA/IATA mismatch until August 18).
Seems obvious the opposition to voter id is pretextual to enable those not entitled to vote to circumvent the voting laws to vote Dem. So here we have one Jan Schakowsky (D Il.) lecturing that we shouldn’t burden citizens from voting though of course had she studied logic at Norm Macdonald’s University of Science – rather than “elementary education,” as she did, she might have realized she was committing the logical flaw of assuming a conclusion – that those who don’t have ids are in fact legally entitled to vote. Not that she would care, of course.
I am in Finland and we need to show ID to vote (same everywhere else in Europe that I know of, or where I voted). In the UK a vaguely remember receiving in the mail a voter’s card and showing that at the poll station (because the sorry asses do not have ID cards), but the UK is sliding in 3rd world conditions and I would not use it as a beacon. In any case, the much loved Nordic Socialdemocracies all demand ID cards to vote.
Here in Sweden, the compromise is that we show both ID and a voting card. Elections in not too many weeks, btw!
