2018 Midterms: Gerrymandering to Victory b/w Blue Wave, Red Pill

[Melena]

Jesus fuck. That, that right there is why as a collective whole, I hate people. Bullshit you had to go through that.

[Niiro]

I ran into this almost exact same scenario two years ago when I tried to get a VA drivers license at the DMV lmao. I think I even posted about it lol. My CO license had been expired but the law said as a federal employee and military veteran it was good for three years after it's expiration. I simply wanted to get a new one in VA to save myself a trip to CO. It was the first state I claimed coming back to the states having lived overseas for almost 8 years due to military/federal obligations.

The ladies at the counter were being difficult as shit. When I tried to apply for a VA license, I showed them my badge, creds, CAC card, orders showing I worked out of the pentagon, CO drivers license, MY FUCKING PASSPORT, and it wasn't enough. They specifically wanted to see either my birth certificate or proof of my citizenship. I suspect they did it because they overheard me talking Spanish helping an old lady out with the instructions.

I was escorted off the premise because I demanded an explanation on why the documents I've provided weren't enough to prove my legal residence. It was embarrassing as shit and a huge pain in the ass to then go home to NYC to grab my naturalization certificate from my mom.

This is fucking ridiculous.

[Niiro]

Low-key tho, how many illegals have you helped vote.

Nah they 100% require that shit. My wife laminated our shit and they accepted it even tho they didn't. Eventually fucked us over when we moved to texas because they 100% did not accept that shit.

[Tyrath]

MY FUCKING PASSPORT

or proof of my citizenship.

Doesn't a US passport do this? lol

As someone who recently went thru that shit that's it happens. I don't know if you read my fwp from a couple months back but it was pretty much as ridiculous with the added bonus of the person not being able to tell me all the things the would accept for residence that weren't on the website just some of them and some that weren't allowed that again weren't on the website... or the list she gave me for that matter. Actually brought the cop over to talk to me about it lol. Turns out the cop was 10x more understanding, helpful and actually had the real requirements and the reason for why what I had wasn't accepted

[Zetanio]

Not to Janet in the DMV office.

[Xno Kappa]

Doesn't a US passport do this? lol

Nah. Those can clearly be faked, my naturalization certificate/certificate of citizenship however with a pic of my 14 year old self is totally legit.

[Xno Kappa]

Just goes to show how stupid and archaic our national identification laws are, and that I'd gladly vote for a national ID registration. The federal/military already does this and it works magnificently well to streamline everything. But then you get into the whole "hurrdurr dey got mah info dah gubment!" retards who are on facebook and tweeter 10 minutes later posting about shitty food out of Chili's.

[Fiye]

I legitimately don't know of any state that doesn't have a requirement for a Birth Ceritifcate, Social Security Card, and proof of address

[Fiye]

On another note when I was a cashier the first time I saw an Arizona ID I was like 'wut' because those shits don't expire for 50 years.

I got a CO drivers license with nothing but orders in 2010. Before that I had an NC drivers license which I got off-post as a lowly private with nothing but my military CAC card in 2003.

I never once had the type of pain in the ass process I had until I wanted a license from VA in 2015. I had a fucking European license for 8 years that covered multiple countries with less hassle.

If you look closely most only use those as examples of a more general thing they are going for (just like proof of address is somewhat general). Like say Cali real ID (which is a little more stringent than regular ID) is

1. Identity, Such as a certified U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, permanent resident card, or unexpired foreign passport with valid U.S. visa and approved I-94 form.

2. Social Security number, such as Social Security Card or W-2 form with full SSN.

3. California residency, such as home utility bill that lists your name and physical address

God this is one thing I'd love nationalizing. Like this is something that is pretty important to have a standard that carries across and is easily used across the country. And government already got all that info if you were idk born in the US or got any official ID

[zoobernut]

Who doesn't accept a US passport? Getting that shit requires the other documents anyway. I have never seen a situation where a US passport isn't enough.

[Roranora]

Back in the DUI days and Driver License suspensions, I had a friend get denied entry to a bar trying to use his passport.

It seems many people in the US dunno wtf a passport is or means.

Just heard on ABC News:

Early voter turnout is over 40mil.

Early voter turnout in Texas is 4mil+, higher than the entire turnout of 2014

[Dimmauk]

I wonder if the ND thing is because of the Standing Rock/Keystone Pipeline stuff.

100% Native Americans are tired of Trump
