      White males exclusively made it more difficult for people of color to vote in Georgia.
      The proper statement would be make it more difficult to vote more than once or to vote after they have died.

        ... there is no proof that either event happened in significant numbers. Did it happen, sure. In significant numbers, enough to influence an election, no proof. Just vague innuendos that it might have happened. Just enough for gullible conspiracy theorists to latch onto.

          Meanwhile, voter I.D. is a requirement for every voter in Canada.

            Canada has much tighter control on voting than we do in the USA. They must show a federal ID to vote or show 2 bills with their name and address to name a couple. Also, no votes are counted electronically.


            And, yes, black folk have to show an ID in Canada, too.

              Sorry Billy, but you are wrong once again. People without ID can vote if they have someone vouch for them.

                You always tell half-truths. While it's true that someone can vouch for them, that person must show an ID and prove their address.



                You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you.

                The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person.

                  So, you admit that people can vote without ID. That shows growth Billy. Admitting when you are wrong is a great first step. Atta boy.

                    I'll take Canada's voting laws over ours. It's much harder to vote in Canada than it is here. That must place a real burden on black folks in Canada. We all know that blacks have a hard time figuring out how to get an ID.

                        There's way too much negativity coming from "some" folks.

                          Pfizer said a clinical trial had showed that its Covid vaccine was extremely effective in 12- to 15-year-olds, with no symptomatic infections among children who received it.

                            But, you just confirmed for us that people don't need an ID to vote in Canada . So no more explanations needed. Thanks

                              But you do need an ID. First the person has to state his name and address in writing and have a person vouch of them and show an ID and that person must be assigned to the polling place. So, blacks in Canada must either produce an ID, or go find someone that has an ID that is assigned to the polling place.

                              I'm curious, how long has Canada placed this unnecessary burden on black folk?
