Is that Abrams or any other current Dem making statements?https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/obama-voter-ids-can-barrier-ballot-box
Here are the facts:
So, what happened?
- Voter ID could disenfranchise as many as 11% of eligible voters in the United States; in Texas alone, around 600,000 could be impacted.
- Many individuals throughout the states simply do not have the funds to pay for necessary transportation and documentation, like birth certificates, needed to obtain photo ID; even Judge Richard A. Posner, who authored an appeals court opinion in 2007 allowing photo ID in Indiana, later upheld by the Supreme Court, acknowledges this. Voter IDs cost money, and the poor often can’t get them. Guess who that leaves out at the polls?
- In-person identification voter fraud is largely a myth, and voter ID requirements don’t address real voter fraud. Only a handful of fraud cases that ID requirements might have prevented have been reported since 2000, as determined by experts and the Government Accountability Office, Congress’ non-partisan watchdog agency. Many of the new voter ID laws require a specific form of ID that many people lack; these laws essentially are solutions in search of a problem.
- People of color, the elderly, and young people are the most common victims of voter ID laws, given their lack of resources, and are also the most common communities subjected to voter disenfranchisement. Judge Posner now acknowledges these laws for what they are: partisan ploys aimed at keeping certain communities away on Election Day.
Got it SH, and I say Dems just say ‘come across the border and I’ll give you healthcare, an education, and an ID you can use to vote’. Hahaha

Or coming around after critically examining the fact set?The gospel was written by those who do not speak today; only their acolytes and apostles. Those who now speak as an apparent heretic have surely received the blessing of political relativism and expediency; similar to Catholics who facilitate the death of viable babies in the womb.
The idea that illegals, who are scared of being discovered and deported, are voting in significant numbers illegally doesn't seem logical. Not sure what things are like in Tennessee but in Washington schools have to chase the children of illegal immigrants to be in school and the parents are like ghosts with no real contact info per my wife who worked in a few Title 1 schools (low-income).
Generally speaking, illegal immigrants go to great pains to avoid being documented and potentially discovered. Sure, they'll walk into the emergency room in an emergency situation but I can't imagine they are willingly signing up for government benefits.
Their US born children can vote, which is the goal, right?
Funny thing happening in Texas with Mexicans starting to lean Republican. Ooops....
The illegal immigrants or their kids shouldn’t be allowed to vote (or be granted citizenship for the former) until they pay a fine, and a large one at that (say $10k).That is the whole reason Democrats have become pro-illegal immigration. It's not to get the actual illegal immigrants to vote fraudulently. If they get a little of that, they'll take it, but they're playing the long game and want their kids.
I suspect that is Mexican-Americans - middle class Latinos who are long time Texans who used to be part of the Democratic working class coalition. The cultural nuttiness is turning them off like it did with the white working class. The actual children of illegal immigrants are probably still voting Democratic like most recent immigrants from the third world.

He may be right, but that doesn't address what votes were counted, and from where they came.
Funny.
The actual illegal immigrants? I agree. The kids born in the United States? That's nonsense.
Yeah, it was just a mistake. How stupid do they think we are?
Yeah, the best way to commit Fraud is to do so publicly by admitting a mistake was made thereby bringing more scrutiny.
Like Antrim County, they ****** up and someone should be held accountable for such a grievous mistake. Ranked Choice voting certainly doesn't simplify the vote tabulation process.
I read an article yesterday chronicling Mr. Adams' complaints about how the vote totals had suddenly cut deeply into his lead.
Adams is the current leader so I'm sure he'll do everything to cajole the Elections Board to ensure he remains the leader. In close elections, that's common. It doesn't matter if the race is for POTUS (See Bush v Gore) or local dog catcher. From what I've read they haven't even announced the absentee ballot additions.
Though I support Ranked Choice Voting, it's not an easy process to administer nor a timely process in a climate accustomed to results being announced on election day.
I seem to remember that the absentee ballots weren't in the totals. I'm going to look up ranked choice voting. I'd never heard of it until yesterday.
It just caught my eye because it was a Democrat complaining about massive swings in the count, just like Republicans did during the Presidential election.
I'm not worried about the illegals voting themselves; but the long game is to get them on the census to garner more electoral college votes. Would that swing Texas to the Left? Maybe. It just depends if Texans still vote Republican as a majority in the Presidential election. But the more illegals that come over, the culture of Texas on the ground, even in non-voting circles becomes more and more vocal for Liberal "solutions." The noise might swing more of those Chardonnay whites to vote Democrat.
