Thank You Wisconsin Voters

[Bob21]

Bob, let me tell you a little story. It has been many years since I voted in person as I now always vote by absentee ballot. However, the last time I voted in person, the poll worker asked if I had an ID. I asked if it was required to vote. She said no so I didn't show it to her. Hell, they check your signature against your voter registration card. What more do you need. Just more dirty tricks by GOP to suppress the will of the people.

Bob, you got the story wrong. They did ask for my ID. I didn't want to show it if I didn't have to. It wasn't an absolute requirement to vote so I never bothered to dig it out.

Hey MWP, I'm a little bored today so I went back and analyzed your statements again, because as you said, I got it wrong the first time. I can tell this was a very traumatic time in your life, so I'd like to understand it better. It appears this incident pretty much led you to becoming a lifelong Democrat. You said you had voted for a couple Republicans, but I expect this was probably before you had this traumatic experience at the voting station.

So let me get this straight, all this poll worker did is ask you for ID, and you said no, and then you asked her if it was required to vote. She then replied "no", so you didn't show it to her. Good man, I'm glad you have some principles. Lol. She then let you in to vote. Is that the sum total of your traumatic experience at the voting place?

You then added in your post: "Just more dirty tricks by GOP to suppress the will of the people." What am I missing here? You said she let you in to vote. You said she told you, you didn't need to show ID. So how is this "suppressing" your vote? Although in this case, I wouldn't have minded if she had tried to suppress your vote, since I think your vote is one worth trying to suppress. Lol

I'm still struggling to understand what she did wrong in this encounter. Was the act of her asking you for your ID wrong? I'd expect this is what any poll worker would do. And I think most people would have shown their ID, if they had it on them.

Are you leaving anything out of this story? She didn't intimidate you, did she? She didn't threaten you, did she? She didn't take you out back and beat you up or anything like that, did she? In my book, if she had done that, now I'd have called that "suppressing" the vote. But in my book asking someone for ID is not suppressing anybody's vote.

Again, is this the main reason you're a Democrat today? If it is, this is as good a reason as I've ever seen for never voting for a Democrat again. You're an example of a typical Democrat. No substance, and all emotion. Hope you didn't call the poll working a name. I know Democrats are big on name calling.
