While we debate Hillary vs Bernie, are you registered? Do you have required ID?

The right knows they cant win any national election, ever again, without stealing said election.

They are working overtime to do that RIGHT NOW.

Do you live in a state where you are being required to show ID to vote?

Sure, it is unconstitutional and someday maybe we can stop this sickness, but until then, do you have it?

Do you know what kind of ID is required and what wont be accepted?

We know states like Texas are making gun licenses acceptable but student ID not, etc.

I am not up on all the latest illegal laws that are designed to stop us from voting, but may I suggest we

Create a thread or something where we can update each states's changes or new laws that discriminate and make voting harder or impossible?

Once we know what the new illegal laws are, we can be prepared ourselves and when we reach out to GOTV it will come in handy.

Absentee ballots solve a lot of problems. My problem with using absentee ballots is, I love voting at the polls, even when it means standing on line.

Check your state laws not only for ID requirements, but also for what your rights are if someone says you cannot vote.

Also, if you have moved since you last voted or will move before the primary, see if your polling place has changed too.

Don't rely on robo calls for info about where or when to vote, either.

Also, as we near voting times, if you know of anyone in a nursing home or hospital, be a pal and take them an absentee ballot or get one mailed to them.

I don't think they look at ID in Delaware. Your name does have to show up on their list. Once registered always registered. But it's also something to remember if you move - one more chore to update, as you may be in a different precinct.

Thinking about Sanders but he hasn't sold me yet. Getting very excited about the debates where he will have a chance to win me.

YouTube has a vast array of Bernie's speeches and interviews.

I listened to one last week from 1989.

The man is consistent to a fault.

I believe him to be a good man. Can't wait to see him in a national debate. The party is in a great position.
