In Alabama, you need a voter ID to vote. And blacks are gonna have a hard time getting one...

[Straight Shooter]

AL plans on shutting down 31 DMV's-most of them in rural, impoverished, majority-black counties. Why are people making it sound like it's so hard to get an ID?

I read that every single county with more than 75% black population is losing its DMV. But I'm sure that's just a crazy coincidence!

You posted that on the last page, brain trust. And it has no relevance to the current conversation about closing down licensing centers in predominantly black counties.

You must prove your identity and address to register and vote in a federal election. Here are your ID options when you are voting in person – at an Elections Canada office, at advance polls or on election day:


There are three options to prove your identity and address
1) Show one of these pieces of ID

your driver's licence
your provincial or territorial ID card
any other government card with your photo, name and current address

2) Show two pieces of ID

At least one must have your current address



3) If your ID does not have your current address, take an oath

Show two pieces of ID with your name and have someone who knows you attest to your address. This person must show proof of identity and address, be registered in the same polling division, and attest for only one person.

The big fuss over identification papers, registration for elections and so on:

Why not turn around and tell yourself, "My country needs a revolution? I demand change on a big scale? The powers to be have to be replaced with people that work for the people, US?"

Crazy idea: The easiest way to actually do something like an actual revolution is NOT talk big talk, it is doing the walk. Get your ID, get registered to vote, get organuzed, work every single week to further your cause.

Start with getting that ID and registring to vote. And stop talking smack until you did just that.

Otherwise you know what people get called out who are all talk.
