The amount of places you need ID are too numerous to count.

You need ID to get into many government buildings. You need ID to fly or purchase alcohol or cigarettes or allergy medicine, in some cases. Many politicians (Democrats) require ID to gain entry into their town hall meetings. You need an ID to buy a gun. You need an ID when you go to a doctor. You need to show various IDs to get a driver’s license. 

You need ID to open a bank account or buy a house. You need ID if you win more than $10,000 in Las Vegas. You need an ID to gamble in Vegas. You need an ID to book a hotel room. You need an ID to purchase bus or train tickets and you may even have to show it to get on. You need an ID to get into a bar or club. You may be asked for ID when you cash a check or use a credit card. You need an ID to obtain government benefits. You need an ID to drive or pick up mail or to get a library card. You need an ID to rent a car or a jet ski or a boat. You need an ID to apply for Social Security or Medicare. 

You need an ID to rent a house or apartment. You need an ID to get married or adopt a pet. You need an ID for a hunting or fishing license. You need an ID to pick up certain kinds of medications. You need an ID to give blood or to buy or rent mature video games. 

 These are just some of the places where you need to present ID and by all means this is not an exhaustive list. 

There is one activity you might note that is missing. The answer is voter ID. Fifteen states, all of them blue except for Nevada and Pennsylvania, don’t require any ID, voter or otherwise (tinyurl.com/9b4v5bya).

In fact, here in the fraud capital of the nation, it is illegal to ask or present ID when voting. 

You might think after I listed all the places that require ID that it’s necessary for those places and situations for security or safety reasons. That security or safety outweighs the potential drawbacks of not requiring ID. Yet, in arguably the most important thing we as Americans do, voting, it’s not required in so many places. Not just not required, but discouraged.

There is only one conclusion one might make of this situation. It’s that Democrats are cheaters. They cheat in elections. They cheat by allowing tens of millions of illegal immigrants into this country, distorting the census and giving blue states more congressional representation than they would have otherwise received if they didn’t cheat. When it comes to voting integrity, the bottom line is that Democrats endorse and encourage cheating. They need to cheat!

 I’ll leave you with this fact: The country of India, with well over a billion people who are much poorer than we are, and yet every citizen has a voter ID card. In fact, 176 nations out of 195 require voter ID. 

I dare someone out in Signal land to make an argument against requiring voter ID. I won’t hold my breath.
