How is it possible that Mexico, but not America, has a Government-Issued Photo ID Card required to vote, and have had it since the 1990’s? I have to believe that when you finish reading this that you too, like Mexico did when they came up with the reason why they decided on needing a Government-Issued Photo ID Card to vote, that it’s time to follow suit and through bipartisanship resolve come up with a reason why there shouldn’t be the same Government-Issued Photo ID Card required to vote in American elections, especially with the unknown numbers of illegals that have everything to gain by voting in elections!
“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”―
When during the 2018 Midterms you have early voting and harvesting early ballots that are filled out without voting rolls that haven’t been scrubbed of voters who are no longer alive, then you have a major problem! When you have six California Republican House candidates, including Representatives Dana Rohrabacher, Steve Knight, and Mimi Walters, were ahead in their respective races. However, as the absentee and provisional ballots rolled in over the intervening weeks, all six lost to their Democratic opponents, you have a major problem!
Then we had Stacey Abrams in the state of Georgia during the 2018 Midterms claiming voter suppression, but fails to note that the number of total voters has consistently increased since 1998 when Georgia first started purging inactive voters from its rolls.
In the two years between November 2016 and November 2018 alone, the state added more than 985,000 active voters, while shedding more than 687,000 inactive ones.
Republican state senator Joshua McKoon, who ran for secretary of state this year, told the Washington Free Beacon that removing inactive voters was essential to preserving the integrity of the election process.
“One of the most important things to do if you’re going to have free and fair elections is to have confidence that your voter lists are accurate,” McKoon said. “It’s the only way to know that only folks eligible to cast ballots are doing so.”
In June 2018, the Supreme Court determined in a 5-4 ruling that states were well within their rights to purge voter rolls.
Likewise, Abrams’s claim that Kemp wrongfully put 53,000 voters “on hold” in an effort to prevent them from voting is deceptive.
Georgia—like Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin, among others—has an “exact match” law requiring personal information collected on voter registration applications to match data on file with the local department of motor vehicles and the federal Social Security Administration.
The 53,000 individuals in questions were not purged from the rolls. Rather their voter registration status was placed as “pending” meaning more information was required to verify their identity.
In most cases, “pending” status can easily be resolved by an individual either online or by contacting their local board of elections. As noted by both Kemp and the Georgia Republican Party, those with a “pending status” on Election Day are still allowed to vote either by regular ballot, upon providing proof of identification, or by provisional ballot, if identity was unverifiable.
Then we had Florida Democrats wanting illegal votes to be counted, and encouraging illegal immigrants to vote who have already been automatically registered to vote at the same time they applied for a ‘Blue State’ approved Driver License! It has become apparent that the Dems not only believe Americans who support making America First and Great Again are not only Deplorable, but outright stupid!
All legal American voters should demand a voted upon mandate that’s decided by the people for our elected officials to follow via bipartisanship no matter what the party affiliation is, and voted for or against every 4 years when an election is held to decide on a President to run the country! Anything over a 60% approval is the mandate, and any elected official who doesn’t follow the ‘will’ of the American people should either step down, or be subject to a recall election where that elected official needs 60% of that states vote to retain his elected to office position!
Here are some ‘Links’ below about how voter fraud will be the determining factor in the direction of America with no say by the American people while eliminating the only working Constitutional Republic left in the world! Voting Illegals will create the same cookie cutter 3rd world model of Marx’s Socialism leading to communism that they ran away from to get to America, which they are unknowingly making into the same image of the country they left behind, and getting paid substantially to do it via free entitlements! The world has already decided what’s best for the future of the world and the ‘New World Order,’ and will decided where America’s taxpayer assets will be best spent for the benefit of the world, but not for spoiled America or its people!
2018: How Democrats Stole Several Elections To Create Blue Wave Revealed
2008, 2012, 2016, Voter Fraud in Blue States Rears its Ugly Head Again!!
“Mexican citizens are required to have government-issued photo ID cards in order to vote in federal elections!”
Since the 1990s, eligible voters in the country of Mexico (i.e., persons of age 18 or greater) have had to visit an electoral office and be registered into the electoral census in order to obtain a voting card issued by the National Electoral Institute (formerly the Federal Electoral Institute). Those voting cards are government-issued photo IDs, credentials that citizens are required to produce at polling stations in order to vote in federal elections in Mexico.
The United States has no equivalent national voter requirements or voter ID card, however. Some states require voters to produce photo IDs in order to vote, while others don’t. And even the states that do require photo IDs may still allow voters lacking them to use other means of documenting their identities and/or to cast provisional ballots.
These differences are often cited in opinion pieces if Mexico requires its citizens to produce federally-issued photo ID cards in order to vote, shouldn’t the United States do the same in order to crack down on voter fraud. On the other side, critics of voter ID card plans maintain there are a number of reasons why what is used in Mexico isn’t necessarily a feasible solution or a panacea for the United States:
- Voter ID cards were part of reforms enacted in Mexico in the 1990s because that country had a long history of institutionalized electoral fraud and corruption, to the point that many citizens no longer trusted the electoral process nor had faith in the organization created to oversee federal elections:
During 71 years of uninterrupted Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) rule, which ended in 2000, electoral crooks known as Mapaches, or raccoons, went about stuffing and stealing ballot boxes. Stories also abound of PRI operatives plying poor voters with sandwiches and soft drinks and then escorting the recently fed to the polling stations.
And this isn’t happening today by Democrats harvesting votes, encouraging illegals to vote, and not scrubbing the voter rolls of past American voters who are no longer living? Like it was time for Mexico to demand a federally-issued photo ID cards in order to vote, it’s now time for our elected officials to step up to the plate and do the same for America and its future!
Mexican officials unveiled the voting ID to properly identify electors in a country with a history of voters casting multiple ballots and curious vote counts resulting in charges of fraud — most notoriously in 1988 when a computer crash wiped out early results favoring the opposition.
The credential’s widespread acceptance deepened democracy by giving credibility to the Federal Electoral Institute, analysts say. The agency was created as an independent agency to oversee federal elections.
“It’s a very important prop for support of that institution,” said Federico Estévez, political science professor at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico. “What people really know about (the electoral institute) is the card.”
The United States, however (contrary to common public perception) does not have such a history of widespread or concerted electoral fraud:
Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.
Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of [2006].
Mistakes and lapses in enforcing voting and registration rules routinely occur in elections, allowing thousands of ineligible voters to go to the polls. But the federal cases provide little evidence of widespread, organized fraud, prosecutors and election law experts said.
“There was nothing that we uncovered that suggested some sort of concerted effort to tilt the election,” Richard G. Frohling, an assistant United States attorney in Milwaukee, said.
Richard L. Hasen, an expert in election law at the Loyola Law School, agreed, saying: “If they found a single case of a conspiracy to affect the outcome of a Congressional election or a statewide election, that would be significant. But what we see is isolated, small-scale activities that often have not shown any kind of criminal intent.”
At this point, we can safely classify widespread voter fraud as a misperception — and one that is far more prevalent than the practice itself.
- As Loyola University Law School professor Justin Levitt (who has been tracking allegations of voter fraud for years) noted in 2014, voter ID requirements generally target only a single, rare form of fraud while leaving the door wide open for other (more problematic) forms:
Election fraud happens. But ID laws are not aimed at the fraud you’ll actually hear about. Most current ID laws aren’t designed to stop fraud with absentee ballots (indeed, laws requiring ID at the polls push more people into the absentee system, where there are plenty of real dangers). Or vote buying. Or coercion. Or fake registration forms. Or voting from the wrong address. Or ballot box stuffing by officials in on the scam.
Instead, requirements to show ID at the polls are designed for pretty much one thing: people showing up at the polls pretending to be somebody else in order to each cast one incremental fake ballot. This is a slow, clunky way to steal an election. Which is why it rarely happens.
- In Mexico, voting rules are set by the federal government. In the United States, however, even federal elections (i.e., those for President and members of Congress) are conducted on a state-by-state basis, and the various states have differing voting requirements. Thus there are no federal standards in the U.S. for determining voter eligibility, nor does the federal government have the authority to impose a single set of standards on the states.
- One of the primary reasons for the acceptance and popularity of voter ID cards in Mexico is not because they are a requirement for voting, but because they have become a practical requirement for residents of that country to use whenever proof of identity or age is required for any reason — similar to the function performed by a combination of state-issued driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers in the U.S.:
The credential proved so good at guaranteeing the identification of electors that it became the country’s preferred credential, one now possessed by just about every adult Mexican.
The free photo ID issued by the Federal Electoral Institute [have] become the accepted way to prove one’s identity — and [it] is a one-card way to open a bank account, board an airplane and buy beer.
Voting was almost an afterthought to [Ana] MartÍnez.
“They ask for it everywhere,” she said. “It’s very difficult to live without it.”
Ana MartÍnez says that despite getting her new card, she probably won’t use it to vote. “There’s no candidate worth voting for.”

With Democrats continually crying ‘foul’ when it comes to coming up with a bipartisan resolve for a mandatory Federal Voter ID Law, and basing their objection on their unproven racist suppression of the minorities rights to vote, but than having these same people managing to finding a way to get an ID for everything else that’s free from government entitlements and paid for by the American taxpayer! What about the Illegal immigrants that cost the American taxpayer $115-$130 Billion dollars a year, but then Democrats and Republican RINO’s like Paul Ryan won’t spend the needed $20-$23 Billion to build the wall, which will be eventually paid for by Mexico in terms of Tolls, border taxes, and fees, just as the George Washington Bridge was paid for back in 1931, and still being paid for to this very day some 87 years later……
Workers built the six-lane George Washington Bridge in sections. They carried the pieces to the construction site by rail, then hauled them into the river by boat, then hoisted them into place by crane. Though the bridge was gigantic, engineer Othmar Amman had found a way to make it look light and airy: in place of vertical trusses, he used horizontal plate girders in the roadway to keep the bridge Steady. Amman used such strong steel that these plate girders could be relatively thin and as a result, the bridge deck was only 12 feet deep. From a distance, it looked as flimsy as a magic carpet. Meanwhile, thanks to Amman’s sophisticated suspension system, that magic carpet seemed to be floating: The bridge hung from cables made of steel wires–107,000 miles and 28,100 tons of steel wires, to be exact–that were much more delicate-looking than anything anyone had ever seen.
