The data point thing is an interesting topic. Is an ultimate goal to give these data points to defense companies like PLTR? Is that why Rs are overwhelmingly in favor of it?

I have no idea. If that is the reason, that is terrifying.

I don't think Rs even know why they are for it. I suspect the crux of the issue is not voting, or even (at least wittingly) defense contractors, but rather, immigration. The tougher restrictions on getting a Real ID will make it harder for illegals to obtain fraudulent IDs (in theory.) It will also make it tougher on illegals to travel about the country. But, I stress again that theory is just my best guess.

Practically, I think iReal ID is just another step towards a surveillance state and the next time there is a act of violence, this time by someone who actually had a Real ID, we will be sold a "Real ID was a step in the right direction, but it wasn't good enough, so now we need 'X'", where '"X" is inevitably more intrusive on individual rights and liberties than Real ID is.

So, mark me as a "Not in Favor." (Does this revoke my VN "MAGA Card"? Am I supposed to do a poll or something?)

I also think it is worth noting that the Real ID legislation ultimately passed overwhelmingly in the House, with massive D and R support alike. I think it was unanimous in its passage in the Senate. So both sides are responsible for this disaster, whether they want to be yoked with it or not.

I also subscribe to the theory that unintended consequences are a feature of the system, not a bug, to those who wield the power.

Hey Huff, Can I borrow that license for like, a weekend.

I take back all the snarky things I have said in the past.

Oh, and Trump is an A-Hole.

I promise I will get it right back to you directly!

You have explained nothing. Photo ids already exist and are available at the same place. This ID has absolutely nothing to do with what a state requires when voting

How does this specific ID enhance election security in a way that no other photo ID can?

To fly anywhere, you will need either a real id or passport.

Ok thanks for staying that known fact. Now how will this secure elections as is being claimed?

Why does everyone have to be so snarky when they reply ??

My understanding is the Real ID is for flying domestically and entering federal buildings. Since it takes the place of your drivers license, it can be used to identify you for voting.

Have a good day.

The question is why it's necessary and how it makes elections more secure. The snarky response is because you quote posts but fail to address their topic.

My apologies…I started reading it mid-post. I just responded to this in my response. To my understanding, RealID replaces the TN Drives LIC which 1) allows you to drive 2) allows you to fly domestically without your passport and 3) provides admissible identification to vote in TN.

It still does not require that type response.
