PA voter ID enjoined until after the election

[Joe Republic]

Well I take that back some dumb sales clerks ask for it when I've used my credit card but if they bothered to read the credit card contract they are not supposed to ask for additional identification.  I would hope the government would operate a little better than a clueless teenage sales clerk.

Lolwut.  Try using your credit card for anything over about ten dollars here in Vegas if you don't have your ID.  Don't want to show it to the clerk?  Cool, you can pay cash then.

Yes, I'm one of those people who has "see ID" written on the back of his credit card in the signature strip, and it really does bother me when sales clerks don't ask for it.

So the Federal elections should be run like Vegas and we should ignore all legal binding contracts?!

I'm talking about credit card usage.  You made a comment about that; I responded to that.

Sorry.  "See ID" is not a part of my credit card contract.  I don't know about yours.  Is it common for right wingers to make up fantasy laws in their head and expect the rest of society to conform to them?  Besides it's fairly easy to get a fake ID.  Just this weekend a friend was showing me how he uses a dead relatives platinum rewards because they have the same initials and last name and people don't follow the procedure and check the signature physically written on the credit card... the way the actual contract dictates they should.

Hey, if you want to make it easier for somebody to steal and use your credit card, that's cool with me.  Personally I'd prefer that somebody matches my printed name on the front of the card against the printed name and face pic on my ID, instead of just matching the signature on the slip I just signed.  Which do you think is easier for somebody to forge: my signature, or my entire driver's license?

Your abuse of the quote function is too much for me to handle on my phone right now, so all I'll say is that you made an offhand comment about not needing to show your ID when making a purchase, and I responded that that is simply the norm in my part of the country.  Seriously, you would not be able to make a credit card purchase nearly anywhere in my town if you tried to petulantly refuse to show your ID with it.  Sure, this nothing to do with voter ID laws or even this thread, but neither did your original comment.  Not the first time a thread has gone somewhat off topic.

Um... you seem a little more... 'emotionally involved' in this conversation than me, with trying to prove some kind of point to me when I was simply pointing out that reality is sometimes different from the way you think it should be.

[Joe Republic]

Golly, that was a lot of words.

Anyway, feel free to conduct your "I'M NOT SHOWING YOU MY ID!!!" crusade if you ever do visit Las Vegas.  Just be prepared to lose, or pay cash.

This has nothing to do with Las Vegas or any other geographic region...

Yes it does.  Do I need to go over this again?

More importantly, why does Link even care about this topic?

I really have no idea.    It's like I called his grandma a slut or something.
