All but 17 states require an ID to vote. We have some damn classist states than. I went through several of the states and wasn't able to find as single one that doesn't require ID at all. In order to register to vote, you have to have an ID of some sort, or show ID your first time in many of those states where an ID isn't needed.
I went through that list, and was amazed at how bad Florida is...a state that voted for Obama. But I totaled up all the states based on which way they went in 2012, though I could have just as easily done 2014, I think a presidential election makes the most sense. I came up with 25 D, and 8 R.
The law I was trying to come up with is mentioned in the article, it is the voters rights act, it is mentioned under FL-3 as the reason given for the crazy border there. This made a requirement for gerrymandering in the form of packing of minorities so that there would be more minority representation in congress. This directly led to many of the "Gerrymandered" districts as in order to pack all the minorities, you have to do some crazy districting. But, this is a federal law that was supposed to help minorities, so I am sure you are all for it.
In other words, this is clearly and primarily a Republican thing. If you are in a Republican-leaning state, you are much more likely to need photo ID.
That is exactly the opposite of what your stats say, and what I was saying. I was pointing out that it is not solely a Republican thing, and you just confirmed exactly what I said.
Also, I DID NOT state photo IDs, that was your invention. Only 17 states require no identification, and even that is changing.
There is no way to determine without requiring photo IDs the scale of voter fraud. Every article I have read has shown that fraud is pretty rapant, and photo IDs prevent people from voting who aren't eligible, how is this a bad thing? You need to prove you are a US citizen to register to vote (it is after all a requirement), how does it change anything to then get a free ID at the same time?
How is pointing out facts racist? The guy is huge right now, and I have real hopes of him taking the nomination. He is a damn site better than Hillary. If a guy polling at 33% or 20% has no chance of nomination in your mind, I would love to see how you feel about Hillary's chances.
I said it was possible. You say it is impossible, then list two things that would make it possible. Which is it?
FTL is something we are working on, it is possible according to physics, but it is something that is difficult to test as it would require rather large ships being built in space.
Generation ships is what I was referring to, it can be done, it is just expensive.
However, I see no reason at this time for trying to settle other star systems, we are better off with O'Neill Cylinders to relieve population pressure, as we could build large numbers of those from material already in space.
I was simply disagreeing with that it is impossible, not that it is wise.
Inter-stellar distances aren't just a "challenge". They are insurmountable. Completely.
This is wrong, and the space nutter troll knows it. It requires money and will, which we don't currently have, but there are people working towards it still. Asteroid mining is a thing, and it is something that is being worked on by smart and well funded groups. It will eventually happen, and it will likely pay for itself in reduced launch costs for space structures.
Are you sour over something? You make it out that the Republicans are the only gerrymanderers, but you are talking about Democrat controlled states...where the Democrats drew the borders (as the party in power draws the borders).
You are a very odd hyper partisan person, open your eyes, both parties are the same, and neither gives a damn about poor people. The Democrats don't give a damn about your blind support. You aren't hurting the Republicans by your blind hatred. Just give it up, you are only causing more problems.
I middle click on the story title, works fine for me every time. You can also left click on the number on the right hand side that depicts the number of comments on a story, but that doesn't allow FP!!!
You need an ID to get a job, cash a check, buy beer and ciggs, use a credit card, drive, etc. You need an ID for life nowadays, and passing a voter ID law that includes free IDs for all who can prove who they are (a requirement to register to vote!) is somehow racist?
You do realize that many Democrat states require photo ID as well? In Texas, they passed this law, and even handed out free IDs to all who had the proper documentation, but they are racist for requiring IDs (like almost every other state).
Oh sorry, that's "fighting terrorism" and the occurrence of valuable natural resources in those areas is just a massive coincidence.
Considering that all that was needed in order to buy the oil from Saddam was to relieve the sanctions we had on him, I can't imagine why you think going to war was easier.
I can't think of a reason to use RTGs for moon exploration. The weight of solar panels and batteries for a probe would be less than an RTG at this distance from the sun. There is a reason the ISS uses solar for power, and it isn't irrational fear. There is a reason New Horizons used an RTG, it was the better option at that distance from the sun.
I pity you for your lack of imagination. It must be a dreary world knowing what is possible and impossible. It is a good thing that physicists aren't as closed minded as you, as they have come up with ways to accomplish it when we have the will and investment.
The specific settings listed wouldn't have passed the DISA STIGs which are required to be adhered to on a government system that is placed on the public internet. So no, the government system would not be using an outdated version of SSL or have an insecure set of encryption standards enabled on the TLS protocol of the SMTP server.
I don't feel like looking it up, but I am sure there is somewhere you can get information about the security posture of State's mail servers; though this could be considered privileged information.

Maryland and Massachusetts are perfect examples of Democrat gerrymandering.
I think you were trying to make a point, but you failed at it.
Felons, who can't vote at all? Sure, they can have the holiday as well...maybe they can work on their next heist...since they won't be voting.
I have two kids. I filled out the paperwork for my wife while she was recovering.
The birth was damn expensive both times, but the birth certificate was filling out the proper forms.
It is a requirement of the credit cards as any store can ask for your ID, and if you can't provide one, good luck explaining to the police officer...
For some evidence of the Gerrymandering, take a look at this page:

Agreed, it should be a national holiday. Write your Reps and ask them to please fix this.
I missed that the RTG was for a lander, I thought it was for the orbiter which made no sense. I retract my earlier question :)

Carson is currently polling as number 2 behind Trump. Together they have 48% of the polls: https://www.google.com/search?...
So why would I care one whit about Cruz who seems to have 7% of the polls:

Except that non citizens are prevented by the law from voting. Illegals cannot legally vote, no racism there, they choose not to become citizens.
That proper documentation is handed out free with every birth, you bigot.
Prices for duplicates vary by state, my state runs through this service:

What is the cost of not having ID in today's society?
You need an ID to get a job, cash a check, buy beer and ciggs, use a credit card, drive, etc. You need an ID for life nowadays, and passing a voter ID law that includes free IDs for all who can prove who they are (a requirement to register to vote!) is somehow racist?
Grow up.

But keep beating that racism drum against the party that has a black man as polling in second place.

just that it'll be non-fission nuclear power.
So they will be using Fusion? Why not just send solar panels up and use the existing fusion power plant in the sky?
FYI, RTGs run on fission, so saying non-fission nuclear power only leaves fusion as an option.

Hey, its better than the Pooh Complex...it smells better too!
Are you sure about that argument?

Come on, I hacked that bastard last week, unfortunately I didn't get anything as my computer started acting wonky right afterwards.
Well, dwarves do enjoy their trap designs. Testing them on hell spawn would be rather entertaining.
