SCOTUS ruling VA

I've just never been presented an argument against Voter ID that I found terribly persuasive.
Me either. The only argument I ever hear is that it requires a person to do something. You have to have an ID for many thinngs.

I don’t understand why we can’t make this really simple: your vote and ID must be completed on or by Election Day. End of story. If you wanted to vote so badly, then you go get your ID. This isn’t rocket science.
Bingo....it's not complicated but the voter has some responsibility.

Many conservatives seem to be saying they are ok with legal voters being disenfranchised if it means no fraud, liberals will accept some fraud over disenfranchisement.
I don't believe that at all. I just want to make sure that they are legal and I don't think it is that hard.

It’s a very good point - which is why it’s a mistake to use absolute language in talking about elections.

There have always been and will always be occurrences of voter fraud. That does not mean that it’s rampant or that it’s affecting the outcomes of elections. But it’s also wrong to suggest it isn’t something we need reasonable safeguards against. It will always happen, but we can and should do things that make it hard to pull off while not making voting a laborious thing to do.
To be fair, you're gliding right past a major aspect of the point he's making: tiny examples of honest error can and will happen, but none of them are necessarily fraudulent. They are just mistakes.

Vote totals always change when they do recounts. Why? Not because they caught cheaters. Because there were honest mistakes.

Hoosiers

We’re best f#cking team in the country.
We need to keep our foot on the gas and dominate this game. I know we've been eyerolling the constant criticism that we haven't faced a test yet, but the truth is, those naysayers have a point. We haven't played any other ranked team. Our B1G schedule has been one of the easiest. OSU did us a favor by beating PSU, because before that, it was technically possible that we could go undefeated and still get left out of the B1G championship.

Now, we truly control our own destiny. First step in going out and grabbing it is cutting Sparty's throat.
