\"Voter_suppression_by_blamethe1st-d4wzpze\"<\/a>Many prominent liberals now consider verifiable ID requirements at polling places to constitute voter suppression<\/em>. And of course their use of 'suppression' is normatively loaded: they pack  a pejorative connotation into it.  Voter suppression, as they use the phrase,  is bad.  Well then, do these liberals also think that requiring drivers to operate with valid licenses to be driver<\/em> suppression in that same pejorative sense?  If not, why not?<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, to require certification of age and of minimal driving knowledge and skills limits the number of drivers just as an ID requirement at the polls limits the number of voters.  But for either limitation to amount to suppression in a pejorative sense, the limitation would either have to be injurious or arbitrary or unnecessary or in some other way bad. <\/span><\/p>\n

But obviously both forms of certification are necessary and reasonable and in no way bad and the discrimination they involve is legitimate. (See articles below if you really  need arguments.) 
<\/span><\/p>\n

So why do liberals label legitimate voting requirements as voter suppression?  Because they want to make the polling places safe for voter fraud.<\/em> They need people, citizens or not, alive or dead, to 'vote early and vote often' if they are going to win in close elections.  If it is not close, they can't cheat; but if it is close then cheating is justified by the end, namely, winning.  Or so they believe.
<\/span><\/p>\n

You won't understand the Left unless you understand that they lack the qualms of those of us brought up on 'bourgeois' morality,  most of which is contained in the Judeo-Christian tradition. For a leftist, there is nothing wrong with lying and cheating if those are means judged necessary to achieve their end, namely, the victory of the Left and the destruction of the Rght.  So they want as many potential leftists voting as possible regardless of citizenship status, age, or criminality.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can bet that if actual or potential conservatives were involved in voter fraud, liberals would call for standards of ID to be ramped up to 'proctological' levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I have just done is explain why liberals maintain the absurd view they maintain.  It is perfectly comprehensible once you grasp that the point is to enable voter fraud.  The arguments why their view is untenable are found in the some of the articles listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n
