I cannot wrap my head around the fact that people in a country like the US dont require an ID to vote . It's insanity
ya u can not have voter fraud with ID either (lol)
Same here... I thought maybe I don't understand English well enough... But thats the case.. doesn't makes sense to me..
Can’t have voter id when you’re letting in your new voter base through the southern border.
No voter identification is wildly stupid, what other countries do this? 🤦♂️🇺🇸
My 17 year old grandson was sent a voter registration card. I have his card in my possession until he turns 18. Without an ID he could illegally vote.
Well your vote doesn’t really matter so…
I can’t believe we even need to discuss this. Voting without an ID is unacceptable.
Most states require I.D. for alcohol sales, and many other things... they are just full of it.
Why do they want more election fraud?
Why do they want illegal immigrants deciding who runs the country? and changing the laws?
Isn't this treason?
@@BraveAbandon Yeah it's Obiden..( obama running the show)..and yes they want Socialism.. treason yes
@@BraveAbandon The progressives HATE this country and what we stand for. They simply want to dismantle as much of this as they can
@@BraveAbandon Yes, it is a plan to usurp control of these United States. The left wants to commit the act of communism.
It truly is astonishing that you can vote without an ID. Absolutely ridiculous.
The Dems want it that way so every single illegal immigrant can vote for them...
What is astonishing is your absolute worship of Trump and the party's scheme to oppress the minority vote. For someone to get an ID it used to take the same level identification documentation at the poles as is required at the DPS. For some reason the extreme right thinks there is more identification documentation required but that is not true. The authoritarians are asking for someone to go to the DPS and sit for three hours or more to pre-show the documentation and wait six weeks to get the ID.
Do I get that right: Therefore you can absoluetly vote two, three or even ten times?
How can you make an "official" vote when the voters can vote multiple times?
How can that be legal in the first place??
WHAT????
AGREE!!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮
@@ML_314 Quite inventing lies.
Excellent Work Cruz. God Bless You Sir.
A black friend of mine put it best:
"It is more racist to assume I'm too stupid or poor to get an ID than it is to require an ID to vote."
It has nothing to do with black folk. Dems just trying to get those illegally to be able to vote.
I agree with your friend. Many laws assume people of colour are somehow intellectually unable to understand basic premises of society. That helps certain demographics perpetuate the notion that they’re victims and don’t need to take responsibility for their own lives. It’s a highly destructive discourse.
Their not African Americans there just Americans just like every color of skin on this planet this race bull is getting old our government needs to pull their head out of their asses
So, for me I worry about slippery slopes but .... If what Mr Hans says that those states are giving free IDs then shoot that's not discrimination at all. I feel like if you want to vote saving 25$ every 4 years is doable. But giving them to all citizens of your state solves any risk exclusion of those who are tight on money
It’s not about black people, or voters ID’s...that’s not what the Republicans changed in Texas! They are lying when they open their mouths and say that to anyone too! There was no wide spread voter fraud and they know it, right Cruz? There’s no reason for the redistricting, other than that’s the only way Republicans have a chance at staying in power, right Cruz? Abbot? Slim down the votes of black Americans and Democrats, put them all in together so their vote won’t overturn the Republicans! Just like Abbot,Cruz and the rest of the Republican majority has fed lie after lie to stop the Democrats from having their voices heard, right Cruz, Abbot and the rest of the Republican Party?

Only in america the word black is racism it's funny
No they just make it stuff up the liars and create all this unnecessary problems
Having an ID is a basic necessity to conduct business in America. This entire argument is specious.
@Nitro Martini I had to show my ID to get the COVID jab, right before I had to sign a legal waiver. I wonder if people will be forced to sign a legal waiver when they are forced to take the shot? How is that legal under the Constitution?
I need a ID to pic up my order from academy lol I could order a case of water and I still have to show my id.
I live in CA, and I went in to vote for the recent recall election. The staff there asked my first and last name, then turned the fkn screen around and was like, which one of these are you, showing me the full name of each person I could choose to be.
Honestly I could've voted as some other guy with the same name at that point.
Granted, I would've been fked if that person had submitted a mail in ballot, but still. Just imagine being named John Smith or some other really common name.
@@mikehunt7423 Shit I completely forgot I needed my ID when I got my vaccine. The vaccine is racist!
How dumb are the "intellectuals" to say that Voter ID is racist. Even in India we have people with some brains who agree that Voter ID should be implemented.

@@IAmHereForeve why should they?
Hearing the whole proceedings, I have a feeling that the worst is yet to come!
In Germany you get an invitation to vote by mail, telling you at which location you have to vote. If you go to the wrong ballot box you can not vote.
You need the invitation and your ID (or only your ID, but it will take 3 minutes longer...)
And that is fine, since everyone is lawfully obligated to have an ID.
Also in Australia. You are told where to vote AND you can vote at other locations in your town/suburb.
This obsession with race in America is dragging us into the toilet hole.
The EXPLOITATION of race already did.
Multicultural societies don't work. It's so obvious.
Hah! You should see it in UK, mate!!!
They're running out of examples to point to. They're now actually calling Larry Elder the black face of WS. This is how desperate and stupid the victim culture has gotten.
Then just treat everyone fairly and desegregate your neighbourhoods. Stop redlining and make black people live where they want and not where you say.
You need an ID for cigarettes and alcohol, but it’s “racist” to have an ID to vote, how idiotic is their argument?
If I could register for cigarettes and alcohol and then not have to show ID to receive my cigarettes and alcohol I would be all up on it. Especially since my cigarettes and alcohol would be delivered to my mailbox
@@cjhooker75 Wow. The stupid hurts. Lol.
If the *intent* behind the law is racists, then yes, it's racists. The things you cited are in place to protect the those under age. Also to protect the businesses from being held responsible for the actions of minors.
There is NO benefit to anyone in requiring an ID to vote. This country voted for years absent a voter ID. When no ID was required there was still no voter fraud of any significance. We still have states that require no ID to vote. They don't have any more voter fraud than those that do.
The fact is, no one wants to go to jail, prison or be fined for such a petty crime. The state I am in only recently started requiring IDs to vote.
The truth of the matter is almost every time the Republicans lose the voting requirements tend to change. That is why *intent matters.*
The voter ID were originally put into effect to stop African-Americans from voting. That is why they stated the court findings in the TX voter ID requirements.
It is much simular to the reason they have changed the voter laws in these Republican mostly southern states.
*It is NOT that requiring an ID in and of itself is racist. It is the ideal behind (intent) why you are requiring it.*
The reason why they are changing the voter laws, is NOT because of voter fraud. The US 2020 was the most secure election with no evidence of any widespread fraud. There was nothing found that was out of the ordinary.
The reason for the change is *too many black people voted, period.*
I would seriously question a state that requires an ID to vote, or to get a library card, *but requires NO ID, or background checks or anything else to purchas a 🔫.*
That state has a serious problem.
@@theire483 and the intent of voter ID is to protect the integrity of an election. You also need an ID with a valid address to buy a home, drive a vehicle, even obtain a library card. They are essential for every day life. To insinuate that a person cannot obtain an ID due to the color of their skin is far more racist than having them prove their identity to partake in the most important responsibility as a citizen of the United States of America.
@@jungpatron from what, the integrity of all US elections are intact, no changes or Id's needed.
Some people just want to make issues out of nothing.
"Can I get a bottle of beer please?"
"Not without an ID, you look young."
"Fuck, okay, I'll guess I'll just vote... My name is, uh, Namerino Surnamerino, I dunno"
"Sure thing sir, here is a ballot, cast your vote!"
As a hispanic American, see no problem with voter ID being required. Do not see racism in this.
That's because there is no racism. The Democrats know that too, but they know that their voters are dumb as heck and if they keep on repeating that lie rank and file Democrats are stupid enough not just to believe it but to also repeat it. We are dealing with evil liars that want power, not compromise.

Wrong. Voter ID should be required. This has nothing to do with injecting drugs into my body.
As a brit we're required to respond to our councils so they can check our eligibility to vote, and when we turn up to vote we need to show photo ID.
I've not heard a single complaint from anyone in my area about the fact that they need to show their ID to vote. If they don't want to vote, they don't have to.
It's almost certain to be those who do want to vote but aren't eligible to, or would vote multiple times in order to sway polls, that oppose the ID laws.
I am a Texan and have been voting for years . I do appreciate being asked for my id at polls. I want to make sure I am the one voting and no one else voting for me . Now that we are inundated with illegals I do not want them voting when they are not citizens of U.S.....by the way I am a Hispanic born and raised in Texas

I do not understand how any America can not see we do not need to be letting anyone in America. Americans First. financial All other resources, communications, customs... And Americans are in need!
Haitian migrants in federal custody have "hijacked" multiple buses during transport rides and forced out drivers in incidents that threaten to stop the U.S. government's immigration enforcement operations, according to three people familiar with the incidents. and Voter ID for everyone is for Everyone, and states have offered to get ID'S FOR Americans ! that say they can not get them. It is such balderdash.
Agreed why is it that black women think they can speak for every black person
I agree with you completely.
I think we can All agree senator Cruze is a legend
I've been voting for over 20 years here in the US and have always been asked for ID (Driver's License, State ID). The worker asks for your ID, find your name, address, on a list of registered voters and you sign your name next to it. I've lived in 3 different states and the process has been the same.
In Texas with the ID being scannable no need to check a list. They scan the ID and the computer prints the signature strip if you are registered.
I'm Hispanic and I believe we should have I D to vote. Those who disagree are coo coo for coco puffs.
Yup👍
Agreed. Makes me so mad that Dems/Libs think blacks and Hispanics are stupid enough that they can’t get a ID.
I would be very angry if I was black and the Dems are assuming I don't know how to get an ID!!!
Coco Puffs have to go. They are no different than Aunt Jemima.
Why drag innocent delicious breakfast cereal into this?
I am Hispanic I had an ID since I was 18 I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have an ID so I cannot understand how You showing an ID to vote it’s racist but I guess nowadays everything is racist
I guess you can vote multiple times with no id, also non citizens can vote, which is insane.
@@snoox27 That is why
@@snoox27 Non-citizens can vote? Where did you find this bit of information? I mean..since immigrants don't have a social security number until they become U.S. citizens and you need a S.S. number to register to vote.
@@snoox27 that IS insane! I'm so glad it's completely untrue.
Yup. Also making jokes about white people all day long but go tf off when we do it back. It’s fucked lol
Voting without ID is like voting by raising hands and me counting.
-Ok, Americans rise your hands for this candidate.
-Now, raise hands for the other candidate.
-I win. I am the new president.
Thank you, Senator Cruz, for your hard work and fighting for the real American people.

Nancy Pelosi said the very thing with the health-care bill the American people wouldn't be able to understand it🤯
Do people even know what being "racist" actually is...
Lol yes. Yes people do…black people. Hispanic people. Brown people. Asian people.
It’s simply being used as an excuse so that they can KEEP the mail-in ballot system for ALL FUTURE ELECTIONS. THAT WAY THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE BUT A DEMOCRAT (aka SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST) IN THE WHITE HOUSE...WE WILL BECOME A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AND WE WILL BE LIVING UNDER THEIR TOTAL CONTROL!!!

"Voter ID laws are discriminatory." Yes, they discriminate against people who don't have the right to vote. Otherwise I might as well just fly over there from my country and vote in whatever elections I feel like.
Precisely, they play the race card to deflect the fact that the ones who can't get IDs are those who can't legally obtain them.
VOTER ID
How many times are people going to continue to allow Democrats to call the Black Community STUPID AND LAZY?
Democrats say they have to oppose Voter Id because Blacks are (too stupid and/or lazy and) incapable of getting a Free Id. Republicans treat you with the dignity and respect to know that most Blacks already have Ids and that others are more than intelligent enough and capable of obtaining them and that Programs can, could, and should be created by non-profit “Get Out The Vote” Groups to assist the poor and/or anyone else that does not already have one and get them to a DMV office for their FREE ID.
shit man even dead people vote in this country... come on over, or up, or down from wherever you are and cast your vote. oh, but make sure you got your vax passport so you can fly over. otherwise you have to walk across the open border, no vax required that way.
You are one sick puppy. The laws are necessary and voter iD exist to avoid people that do not care about the law to vote multiple times. What do you not understand in this law. It’s unfair but an unnecessary burden. Say yes to voter ID and stop acting like victims geesh

i can't believe they even spent time discussing this subject, if there was no id, how we can be sure that someone will vote 7 times, how to be sure that the votes are real
It’s not that you need an ID to vote, it’s that some voting centers can require you to “prove your identity” even with a valid ID. This is mostly done to blacks, Hispanics, and any demographic a politician in power currently has the ability to coerce into not voting, by demanding unnecessary proof of identity such as income, living history, etc. And even after that the voting center can deny you your right to vote. As always, the conservatives oversimplify an issue and appeal to mass support for it. It’s a trap.

It's power grab by the minorities. Why the majority should bend over at the will of the minority? There's a simple an answer to it and it's about economics.

Most people are moving to Texas and Florida for very good reason
Why don’t you hear about this? Because liberal media constitutes for roughly 89% of the media. This country is a corrupt joke
Even 3rd world countries that do NOT have IDs use other forms of ID (i.e. fingerprint) and if you are caught cheating (voting 2 or more times) a body part is removed or prison!
Even in Russia, where there is realistically 1 candidate to vote for, they require an ID.

What it is, is that it's so blatantly obvious on its face how juvenile the left is politically that it's like dealing with teenage adults.
You need an ID to get the vaccine and the vaccine passport. I really wish one of the GOP would ask the panel if they think it's racist to show ID to vote and then follow up with do they think the vaccine mandate is racist since an ID is required when you get the vaccine passport.
Do these people think it's ok for me, who is not at all related to America, to get a flight from Europe to the USA, vote and come back to my country? It's preposterous.
I'm Latino in Texas and never found the ID laws to be racist. nor did I ever find that it made it difficult to vote.
I’m an Hispanic Texan and I support voter I.D. requirements
Why do you have to say Hispanic .fool.Im Mexican-American and fully support IDs.
Right! Hispanic Americans support voter i.d. even more than white people.
Odd for white liberals to try and claim that, something minorities overwhelmingly support is racist
That doesn’t really mean anything. This is why anecdotal testimonials on a website that permits nigh total anonymity are not permissible as evidence nor used in studies.
In all likelihood, it just means you’re callous and attention-seeking.
I'm a full blooded Tejano. 100s of years in Texas and Mexico. I support voter ID laws!

what the hell does color have to do with showing an ID. Democrats live in the Twilight Zone..
That may the case now...but go back in your states history and you will find out why they started requiring Id's to vote. Also find out why they needed to change the voter laws after the 2020 elections despite data showing that in all 50 states it was the most secure less fraudulent election ever.
When you do this, if you have any forethought, you will understand why mainly in southern states have they changes voter laws since 2020.
Then ask yourself, why did they not change those laws before 2016, or change them before the election.
This is fucking insane. I've had a ID since I was 15 and HOMELESS.

In the Netherlands you always need to show ID before you can vote. How on earth can you legally vote if they don't know who you are ( and can prove it )

Had to show ID to buy some spray paint today to touch up my gutters. Imagine our government taking spray paint purchases more seriously than voting.
It's racist to ask for ID to buy spray paint.
They do that to prevent activists of color from writing the Truth on walls
Don’t have to imagine it, we can see it. Last winter I tried to buy cold syrup at the self-serve check-out at Walmart but I got locked out until I could show ID!

'When a debate ends, slander becomes a rule of the loser", Socrates.
Yeah it's not just get off your lazy asses and get an ID simple as that
U r 100% absolutely correct.
Yes and isn't it about time those slandered held the people doing the slandering to account for it?
You're such an ignorant person. Look up the districts and how there drawn. The language reflects your thoughts. To protect purity. The shallowness in which you look at the world is pathetic. Ronald Reagan screwed the world when he changed laws for television. Now lying is all y'all have with the idiots who believe them. Elon,Jeff,and Bill got enough money to build whatever they need. You dummies still trying to hold other races down without the slightest thought of self preservation. Global warming is the biggest threat to Caucasian skin and you morons don't believe in it. If the earth's temperature gets to the average of 130 degrees, how y'all gonna deal with sun. The burns and all the new forms of cancer will decimate y'all. Stop fighting the evolution to get to a revolution that has been lost once. We make enough melanin to share and save you from yourself, but if you keep asking for a revolution then read your Bible. It tells you how the first and last will be. Good day and find a positive cause, because this is going to end very badly. Now the world is on to you home grown terrorist and the punishment shall fit crime.
Democrats are outright CHEATING! VOTER FRAUD!
I've had to show my I.D. to vote for the past 38 yrs since I was 18 years old!! Why is it racist??! That's not racist, that's common sense!!!
if thats the standard for what a racist is, its not so much of a derogatory thing to be
If you had to show id. That was illegle. You probably had to show your voters registration card
Well see that's the deal those that want to vote with on I'd is crooked and hiding something
It’s actually a law in all states to show your identity
@@maggiethepearl7183 no, actually its not.
As a Texan I believe we all should have a Texas Driver License or Texas State ID card to vote. I believe it should be a ID AND a Social Security card as well.
There are those who are simply Vessels of wrath fitted for destruction!!! Long ago.
ID to VOTE,,, Medicaid food stamps housing government assisted aid and so much more require ID....
You hit it! Right on the $$
I guess the airports they went to were also racist.
Exactly!
Put your blinders on. You’re not supposed to realize the irony 🤨. For shame
if you try to keep voters from voting is racist
As a French person, I don't even understand how you can vote without identifying yourself. How the hell do they want to do things ?
Voting without ID was the only way for Biden to win the election (and the question is whether he won it).
It's the way the demon-rats get away with voter fraud!! Anytime the subject comes up, they cry "RACISM" which is totally racist in itself. They assume black and brown people are too stupid to be able to get a government issued ID!! It needs to stop!!
I think they want them self to vote more than 1 time to rig the election? Would there any other reason? LG from Germany my brother
It’s so they can allow all the Mexicans they just let flood in vote for them. If it sounds stupid… it’s because it is: and a regular person like myself is helpless to do anything in this situation:

Voting should be more important than buying alcohol or boarding a plane. ID should be required to vote to make sure you're who you say you are.
It's also to make sure you only vote once.
Not only WHO you say you are, but also that you LIVE WITHIN THE DISTRICT where you attempt to vote, and that you have the LEGAL ABILITY to vote.
That's wrong that's why you have a social security number and voting to me is non sense it's like the north and south fighting all over again, Democrats vs Republicans Minnesota vs Oakland just a game being played you against me and nobody for each other. When will this nonsense come to a solution and not a war on humanity, we are a biological speculation, sitting here vibrating and we don't know what we're vibrating about, so do you see my point. We are all in this world together and nothing will ever change that and you can vote all you want, the have's vs the have not and why is the world so divided. It's because of the Greed of mankind and the world can't save itself from the nonsense.
@@makenomist8aboutit43 Social security cards do not have a photo on them. That is why when you get hired if you offer you SS card you must also provide your ID.

See my point it'll happen anyway this is the kinder way.
Why are you vibrating is the same as what created the universe?
I am at the point where even if people say it is energy that started everything! I am like how does that not fit the definition of God? First, causing all else to be, the source, the substance, existing outside space, matter and time so eternal it went from not creating to creating and has since stopped not creating more universes as it is eternal spaceless all universes would be in the one point at the one time and if constantly creating it would big bang for ever just constant explosions but it banged and since than has not banged start and stop why? No other cause exists to start and stop it! As it is first so it must be choice making it conscious a being not a phenomenon! You can call that Energy
21-14A if you like that just means 21-14A is your name for God!
Now is that unfair or dishonest or is it just following a somewhat logical train of thought to the energy source?
1) It is and it started Why?
2) It seems to have stopped why?
3) If it's first it cannot have a external cause to cause it to start/stop
4) no limits so won't run out/stop
5) Cause start/stop is likely choice based
6) Making it a mind
7) Minds belong to beings
8) First cause that causes all else through choice a eternal mind/being with no limits = God or if preferred God like entity!
Obviously this is a result of inference from what we can observe inside the universe applied to what we cannot observe outside the universe!
But due to this inference if you than look into the claims of deity you will find this is told to be the case by one claim The Bible!
It says the universe testifies to God's existence and faith/confidence is things hoped for but not seen - Which is explained as trust in patterns and things we can/do see to hold true for the times, places and things, we don't see. Ex. Jesus told the truth about things we can test so we should trust him to also be truthful about the things we cannot test.
Observation of Universe modern knowledge resulting in a inference to a deity that matches a claim from the bible that existed before this knowledge!
All of which together is very strong evidence that there is a God and that God is the God of the Bible who revealed himself to mankind/universe which is the only possible way to know anything about something from beyond the universe everything else is just best/educated guess but still a guess!
Science uses space matter and time which is what the universe is so it's useless to explain anything outside the universe so we need a different tool than science to help us like philosophy so in this case a philosophical answer is more valid than a scientific answer as philosophy is also spaceless timeless and immaterial and comes from a mind which is what is expected to be beyond the universe!
So this tool (Philosophy) better fits the task of explaining what the first cause beyond the universe is! As science is a tool designed to function in that universe not out of it!
Tool - Context - Result
Use the right tool, for the right Job and get the right result!
Use the wrong tool, for the wrong job and get the wrong result!

It has nothing to do with the fact that they have open the flood gates on our Southern border and letting MILLIONS of ILLEGAL VOTERS into the country right? It's RACE! 🤬🤬🤬
God Bless you Mr Cruz .
