MODERATORS
The whole “vulnerable people” line is complete bullshit lol.
i guess homeless people don’t deserve a vote aye
Why can’t homeless people vote?
because getting an ID with no money and no fixed address can be somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible
that’s kinda the point: ID is easy for most people, but for some people it’s an insurmountable barrier… voter ID laws restrict those people’s ability to vote: the number of legitimate people you cut out of voting is far higher than the number of fraudulent votes (which are always caught after the fact because there are robust systems in place to deal with exactly this already)
Most people aren't born into homelessness and never escape it. Most homeless people have ID and are registered to vote long before they become homeless.
Literally never true.
