Denmark's Burqa Ban Has Gone Into Effect

106. Wait a minute

I'm assuming then that you support the notion that we should be requiring identification to do something important like voting then, correct? Because, to use your argument, if someone is going to vote, I sure want to know that they are eligible to vote. What's to prevent some felon from showing up at a polling station and voting in place of someone else that they know isn't going to go vote?

If you believe that, then you are consistent.

If you don't believe that, then I might ask why, and I suspect the answer would be "there's no real evidence that significant voter fraud exists, and requiring identification turns into voter suppression". So I might ask "hey, is there some problem with hit and run burqa drivers that I should know about?"

I'm not suggesting that this should be a basis for determining whether we should or shouldn't ban a burqa, but the "we need to ID people in public" seems about on par with the right's "voter ID" logic.
