Bayard

(26,805 posts)
58. He doesn't want mail-in ballots because there's no voter ID required
Sun Aug 31, 2025, 12:58 PM
Sunday

I haven't voted in person for years, and neither has Mr. Bayard. I only had to show my driver's license when I did show up. I wouldn't be able to vote if they demanded birth certificates because both my first, and last names have been legally changed.

He's trying to hamstring as many voters as possible.
