Dem Kentucky Gov sez no to mandated state voter ID

[Breitbart] Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) has vetoed legislation that would mandate state voters to show a photo ID before they vote in the 2020 presidential election, and every election after.

Last week, Beshear announced his veto of mandatory voter ID legislation that ensures all registered voters must prove their identity before they cast a ballot, starting in November.
They should prohibit requiring ID to get into the Statehouse/Governor's Office
According to Beshear, requiring voter ID creates "an obstacle" that results "in fewer people voting," though research and data show otherwise. In Alabama, which has a mandatory voter ID law, black American voters came out in droves in 2018 to help elect Doug Jones to the U.S. Senate.

"I am vetoing Senate Bill 2 because the provisions of the law would create an obstacle to the ability of Kentuckians to exercise their right to vote, resulting in fewer people voting and undermining our democracy," Beshear wrote. "Furthermore, no documented evidence of recent voter fraud in the form of impersonation in Kentucky has been presented."

A January poll by the Washington Post and Ipsos asked black Americans 18-years-old and over whether they had experienced voter suppression in the last ten years. About 92 percent said they had not experienced any voter suppression over the last decade.

Beshear’s veto of the legislation is likely to be overturned by the Republican-controlled state House and Senate, as the voter ID requirement was passed out of both by a supermajority.

#2 Their argument is that voting is a right. Well, so is owning and buying gun. Both should have the same requirements for a citizen to engage in.

#3 If voting is a right, don't I have a right to have my vote count?

#5 If we ever hold congress again, they should pass something stating that any state that doesn't check ID's when voting will not be counted for any part of the federal elections. And any judge issuing an injunction for this will be summarily executed for treason.

#6 Whoever holds congress, it won't be We The People. It will be the political whore class and they will fuck us over and steal our wallets every time. The Founders baked several solutions of varying degrees of intensity into the existing Constitution.
