    The Constitution guarantees the right to vote to all citizens, without need for housing or Id cards.

    Please cite exactly where in the Constitution this is stated.

    Please note that for most of our nation' history the right to vote was greatly restricted by gender, race, property, etc.

    Like I said, insignificant. 900 cases in what, a decade? For the whole country? You're screwing near 3000 people with this ND case. 53000 people in that other case from last week, in REGIONAL races.

  5. And was all of that in the Constitution, or might some of it have been slipped into the "voting rules" to manipulate the outcome?

    Those are just the examples we know of. It's quite likely the true nature of the problem is much, much larger and - here's the kicker - getting worse every election.

    Still haven't answered why ID shouldn't be needed for voting, but should be needed for the list of things I listed above.

    Time for you to go read the amendments and the original document.

    There are no restrictions on requiring housing or Id cards.

  8. I refer to the other, past voting restrictions you noted earlier. Were they in the Constitution, which you hold so dear?

    Actually yeah... many of them were until the amendments came out. Why don't you look up the history women's suffrage in the U.S.

    Still -- nowhere in the Constitution is there anything restricting states from using housing or picture ids in voting.

  10. "You don't live in adequate housing? Tough shit. And, as a bonus, you don't get to vote."

    These are the rules you want to play by? God bless America, huh?
