Schumer and other Liberal Leftist Crazies SEND up smokes screens and Red Herrings with ridiculous arguments about VOTING in the USA.

Chuck Schumer under fire after brazenly calling voter ID 'Jim Crow 2.0'
'I called it Jim Crow 2.0, and the right-wing went nuts all over the internet,' Schumer said as he doubled down

https://www.foxnews.com/media/chuck-sch ... m-crow-2-0

Jim Crow 2.0??? Tell me, Chuck, How many voters would be LYNCHED under the Save ACT? And you are telling me that blacks and minorities CANNOT produce ID and have NO ID? Really? One needs ID to do many things, like buy tobacco in VA. I see many blacks show ID to buy tobacco. SO THAT is a PHONY and RIDICULOUS argument, made the LLC like Schumer.

Voter ID requirements
Each state sets its own voter ID rules. And most require voters to bring identification to vote in person. Know the voter ID laws in your state before going to the polls.

Find out if you need to bring an ID to vote
Your state's voter ID laws determine whether you will need to show an ID and, if so, what kind.

Your state may require you to show a photo ID like a driver's license, state ID, or passport. Or they may ask to see another form of identification like your birth certificate, or Social Security card. If you are a registered voter and have a voter registration card, you are not required to bring it with you when you vote. But you can still use it as a form of identification.

Find out what ID your state requires you to bring when you vote. Or learn how to get a voter registration card.

Procedures for voting without ID
Even if you do not have a form of ID that your state asks for, you may be able to vote.

Some states may ask you to sign a form affirming your identity.

CNN's Enten: 83% Favor Voter ID, It's Not Controversial
Posted By Tim Hains
On Date February 3, 2026

and
Americans agree with Nicki Minaj when it comes to voter id.

83% of favor photo voter id to vote per Pew. This includes 70%+ of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 75%+ of Americans across races.... White, Black, and Latino.

It's not controversial.

(...)
ENTEN: OK, what's the racial breakdown on this, right, because I think a lot of people make the argument that people of color, nonwhite Americans, have a harder time procuring a photo I.D. to vote. But even here, take a look here, favor photo I.D. to vote. Eighty-five percent of white people favor it. Eighty-two percent of Latinos. Seventy-six percent of black Americans favor it.

So, the bottom line is this, voter I.D. is not controversial in this country.

Maybe you didn't actually read what the new bill would require before posting?

Your quote above is what exists now under the law of the most strict states (who currently all run their own elections however they want), the SAVE act makes it significantly harder as drivers licenses wouldn't be accepted in 45 states (even the 'Real' ID's that everyone who wanted to get on a plane in 2025 just had to go upgrade to). You'd need either a birth certificate, passport, or military ID... which does make it harder for many people to vote, particularly poor people who've never left the US and don't just walk around with their BC in their wallets.

Beyond that using birth certificates in 2026 as ID is insanity. No images or ways to prove you are the person on the certificate, birth certs aren't standardized in the US so how would a poll worker even know how to check it's legitimacy.

I get the argument is to have people prove citizenship in order to register, and I take no issue with that.

But the plan here is clearly just to steal the midterm elections by changing the rules, and enforcing the changes before 45 states can figure out how to issue new drivers licenses that say 'citizen' on them somewhere by Nov of this year to 150 million voters.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't bother posting much, because I'm talking to people who don't show basic levels of reading comprehension.

You are correct, you need a drivers license to board a plane. Technically you need a DL that complies with the 2005 REAL ACT, the requirements of which were recently updated and as of May of 2025 you needed a compliant version to board a plane. It's worth noting that while military ID or passport would also get you on a plane, a birth certificate won't because it's not an effective way of identifying someone.

That same drivers license WOULD NOT be an acceptable form of ID to vote with if the SAVE act passes. Only 5 states currently offer 'enhanced drivers licenses', MI (congrats that's you!), NY, VT, WA, MN.

As far as I'm aware none of this is lies or even moderately controversial among people who bothered to read about the subject they are posting on before they post... I also never mentioned 'black people' once in my post, that's just you putting words in my mouth.

A married womans birth certificate would probably have a different last name than her DL or state issued ID. Now women would have to carry their marriage certifcate also?

Putting this bill into effect this close to an election would strain the election systems. They would have to come up with a way to verify the birth certificates or marriage certificate are real.

Many people don't have a copy of their birth certificate. I know get a copy. What ID do they require to get a copy of a birth certificate? Probably you DL or state ID. Back to square one.

Where is the proof of massive voter fruad?

What countries have voter identification requirements?

January 30, 2026

I saw posts online saying voter ID requirements (demonstrating citizenship) in the US would disenfranchise college students and people who have changed their name, such as women or men who got married and changed their surname.

Those assertions, however, are not true.

89% of those age 18 and up have proof of citizenship documents.

9% have them but they are not readily available, such as college students who left them at their parent’s home.

Just 2% lack any documentation.

Of those who lack documentation, they are primarily age 18-24 – mostly in rural areas – and the very elderly.
(Data comes from surveys done by YouGov, Pew Research, Brennan Center for Justice, Cato Institute, a Reuters news article and the Good American Citizen Project)

Second, moving to college does not invalidate your identification. In fact, passports, Social Security cards and birth certificates do not have an address on them!

Third, changing your name does not invalidate past documents. All past ID documents remain valid. You might be required to provide a “linking document” that links your past name to your current name – this can be a marriage certificate or Court order regarding a name change. Here is the official US government statement on this: US Citizens/Lawful Permanent Residents name does not match documents

The above social media argument is based on the “false premise’ form of argument or “false assertion” by asserting that college students and those who change their name would not be able to vote. This is false.

Should the U.S. have voter ID requirements?
I have no idea. The purpose of this post is to highlight that some of the arguments around voter ID in the US are nonsensical.

Half of US states have a photo ID requirement already, one quarter have an alternative ID requirement, and one quarter have no ID requirement.

Changing your name or going to college has no bearing on your ID documents, as falsely claimed on social media.

Only 2% of Americans are estimated to have no citizenship documents – the most common form of documentation is the birth certificate. Birth certificates can be obtained from one’s county or state and in the US, vary in cost from $10 to $31 (depending on your location).

In looking up information on voter ID, I learned that most countries in the world have voter identification requirements.

Nearly All Countries and Half of US States Have Voter
ID Requirements
Globally, nearly all countries require some form of voter ID, most requiring either government issued photo ID or a voter ID card (which typically includes a photo).

46 of 47 countries in the European region have photo ID requirements in order to vote. The UK is the exception but is in process of mandatory ID being required. Sweden permits alternative IDs if a photo ID is unavailable. India and Mexico require identification. (...)

(Africa overwhelmingly requires voter ID; no credible sources identify any African country without ID requirements.)

Canada uses “voter information cards” and allows some “alternative” proof of identity documents; photo ID is not mandated.

36 US states require some form of voter ID – depending on state this can be either photo ID or non-photo ID. Some states provide a voter photo ID card at no charge. (...)

Historically did NOT require ID:

United Kingdom (is now transitioning to mandatory ID)

Nearly ALL nations require VOTER ID to VOTE; see the table included.

https://coldstreams.com/social/2026/01/ ... uirements/

And Dems and other LLC like Schumer, are CONFUSING voter REGISTRATION vs. Actual voting. They are conflating the two. What is NEEDED for Voter Registration is NOT the same as voting on that DAY.

[jusplay4fun]

LLC, Liberal Leftists Crazies, such as Chuck Schumer, COMPLAIN and call VOTER ID "Jim Crow 2.0" BUT are these ALSO Jim Crow???

At a Glance: In the U.S., a photo ID is required for various activities, including buying alcohol, opening a bank account, applying for food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and Social Security, renting or buying a house, buying or renting a car, flying on an airplane, getting married, purchasing a gun, adopting a pet, applying for a hunting license, renting a hotel room, getting a fishing license, buying a cell phone, picking up prescription medication, visiting a casino, holding a protest or rally, donating blood, purchasing mature-rated video games, purchasing tobacco, and applying for unemployment benefits. A photo ID helps prove identity and ensures compliance with legal requirements.

[Dukasaur]

yep, seems to me like it's just another attempt by Republicans to stop people from voting - which am guessing somehow favours them...

Yeah, basically it does.

The Republicans are really good about whipping up outrage and anger, and angry people are more highly motivated to vote. When you raise the bar for voting, calm and placid people are more likely to say it isn't worth the effort. Angry people will still do whatever it takes. As voting gets more difficult, extremists and hotheads increase their representation, as more and more moderates just give up and walk away.

There are extremists and hotheads on both sides, of course; the Right has traditionally been a lot better at mobilizing them.

Asking for basic ID isn't a particularly onerous requirement. The reason for fighting it is not that it is, in itself, a big issue. Rather, when coupled with other nuisances (such as reducing the number of polling stations to make longer wait times) it is part of an overall drive to make voting more difficult.

[mookiemcgee]

yep, seems to me like it's just another attempt by Republicans to stop people from voting - which am guessing somehow favours them...

Asking for basic ID isn't a particularly onerous requirement.

100%, most states already require some form of state issued ID to register to vote. I think most americans favor having some form of identification to register or vote.

There are alot of moving parts here because elections are run by the states and not the federal gov't, and while the idea of the federal gov't just issuing it's own ID to citizens that would be valid for voting registration in all 50 states is totally doable and legal... they would have to give it away for free (24th Amendement says there can't be any 'poll tax' or financial barriers to voting which was enacted because in the Jim Crow era alot of southern states were able to prevent black from voting by attaching an expense to it). Republicans don't actually want to make it free and easy for citizens to vote, because none of this is about making sure only citizens vote so they are not even attempting to advance a bill that would just create a new form of federal ID.


What the save act does is basically invalidate the primary method most voters have used to prove their identity to register (state issued drivers licenses). Drivers licenses are not proof of citizenship in 45/50 states, so the bill then makes it so existing voter registration rolls are basically reset and everyone is going to have to go re-register with one of three proofs of citizenship, military ID, passport, or birth certificate... and they have to do it by whatever deadline each state has set to register prior to the election (some states you can just register when you vote, others the cutoff is weeks/months ahead of election day. Many states don't have a mechanism to even let you know if you are no longer registered to vote, and 8-9 months is not enough time for 45 states to 're-invent' their drivers licenses as proof of citizenship docs and then re-issue them to the 250million++ people in time for them to use it to re-register to vote prior to Nov.

TL/DR - Y'all are correct, this bill is about stealing the NOV 2026 election, and not about 'illegal aliens voting'. It's a short term issue anyway because by 2028 states will have ample time to get everyone proof of citizenship qualifying drivers licenses, or have the bill invalidated at the supreme court level for violating the 24th (24th is a very murky grey area that doesn't have alot of recent precedent)
