salford1:Please stop engaging that mental and physical dwarf. You gain nothing from that piece of human basura. What he loves is people going on his mentions. I know it's very tempting to reply the scum but he's truly not worth it. |

Cornpop:All these shalaye sef That "someone" might not decide to vote. That someone may not have an ID. You are just making things up. To be an eligible voter, you only need to be on the voters register which you can get yourself on if you are Canadian and you have already filed at least one tax. Still which part No ID do you not understand? |

PrideofLincoln1:And buhari studied in the US, worked for 3 decades before going to Nigeria to rule. Obixel visit me every summer. This time the pandemic was the reason he couldn't come. He also worked for 3 decades here in Austin |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:21pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:No. I am not making shit up. Answer the question. You don't have ID. Can you vouch for another person who does not have ID? Can you answer? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 3:22pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:Leave that midget alone. He's not worth. Been on this platform for 11 years and two guys on this platform have been to my crib in Lagos and one of them attended my father's 70th Birthday at Island Club couple years ago. This idiot is a born loser who has no life except showing his incurable lunacy on Nairaland. This guy is a perfect example of how to be a failure in life. |

Cornpop:You just ended up insulting obixel with this poor attempt at sarcasm ![]() |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 3:23pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Cornpop:My question to you is can I (as a person) vote in a Canadian election without ID? Answer Yes or No. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:23pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:To be on the voter register you need an ID and at the poll you need an ID. If you are not with one then someone with an ID has to vouch for you. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:24pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:True story bro. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:26pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:No. You website also said you need an ID. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 3:27pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
I am tired popcorn. Have a lovely day. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 3:27pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Cornpop:It also says No ID? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:34pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:Same website says you need an ID to vote. Same website says if no ID someone with ID can vouch for you. An ID is still required buddy. Which is why I am asking you a question you refused to answer. Again, can you vouch for me without an ID assuming I don't have an ID as well? Yes or no |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:35pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:It clearly stated an ID is needed to vote. So answer my questions if ID is not needed
|
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 3:36pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Also if we chose to ignore ID or No ID. What we are talking about here in Georgia is the ease of voting. Why should a region or jurisdiction in a developed feel it's okay y to disenfranchise voters with eligibility requirements for just one or two types of Photo ID |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 3:37pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Cornpop:I see what you did. You deliberately skipped or failed to underline/circle the "NO ID?" part. |

salford1:You haven't made any attempt to answer a simple question. You have to protect the lie right? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:46pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1:Good. This proves you must be identified. I don't know why you bring this when it actually supports my position |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 3:46pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Cornpop:No it doesn't. Read again. I just need to know the election official as an acquaintance or friend, else I can just show my civic or mailing address. Note the "may, If and or". Knowing the election official, or showing my civic or mailing addresses are not ID |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 3:58pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
salford1: you are showing something right? That's your identification. The first one you ever got was your birth certificate.You know someone who works at the polling station? That someone can identify you. I don't think Bill gates shows ID before he enters the Microsoft building. They all know him by face. If you go to a poll and no worker know who you are. You will need to provide some form of identification. Period

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by salford1: 4:06pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Cornpop:No. Me showing an envelope with a civic address on it is not an ID document. It may show my address but does not identify me as a person. We would never agree on this. |

You are just trying to twist the English language to fit your narrative. Do I need an ID to vote in a Canadian election in the province of Saskatchewan? The answer is NO. Someone can vouch for me, but my answer to the first question is still NO. |

Anyway, the crux of the matter is that the voting laws by some backward politicians in Georgia was set up to disenfranchise voters. Simple as ABC. On the bright side, Americans are very resilient people. These law would even propel or spur them to go out to vote. It's now very glaring that large voters turnout as seen in the last election is the nemesis of the GOP. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/major-us-companies-take-aim-at-georgias-new-voting-restrictions.html Global asset manager BlackRock issued a statement Wednesday on LinkedIn. "Equal access to voting is the very foundation of American democracy. While BlackRock appreciates the importance of maintaining election integrity and transparency, these should not be used to restrict equal access to the polls. BlackRock is concerned about efforts that could limit access to the ballot for anyone. Voting should be easy and accessible for ALL eligible voters. Voting is not just a right, but a vital component of civil activity. We should encourage all eligible voters to play this essential role in our democracy," CEO Larry Fink wrote. Coca-Cola executive Alfredo Rivera said in a statement the company, which is headquartered in Georgia, is disappointed by the law. "As soon as Georgia's legislature convened this year, our company joined with other Georgia businesses to share our core principles: We opposed measures that would seek to diminish or restrict voter access and we advocated for broad access, voter convenience, election integrity and political neutrality. Anything that inhibits these principles can lead to voter suppression. We took these steps because they align to our Purpose and the conscience we follow," he said. Georgia-based Delta airlines said in a memo to employees that the "final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta's values." "After having time to now fully understand all that is in the bill, coupled with discussions with leaders and employees in the Black community, it's evident that the bill includes provisions that will make it harder for many underrepresented voters, particularly Black voters, to exercise their constitutional right to elect their representatives. That is wrong," CEO Ed Bastian said. Pharmaceutical giant Merck said Wednesday that the company stands "strong on our core values including our commitment to social justice and the right of people to fully and freely participate in electoral processes." "There is no more fundamental right than the right to vote. Democracy rests on ensuring that every eligible voter has an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot, free from restrictions that have a discriminatory impact. We all have an obligation to stand up against racism and other forms of discrimination whenever we see them," the company added. Porsche's North American operations, headquartered in Georgia, said that "equal access to the polls for every voter is core to a democracy." "As an Atlanta-based business, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) supported the work of the Metro Atlanta Chamber with members of the Georgia General Assembly to maximize voter participation and ensure election integrity. We understand the legislative outcome remains subject to debate and hope a resolution can be found between all sides that encourages and enables every eligible vote," the company said. Georgia-based UPS said this week the company supports the ability and facilitation of all eligible voters to exercise their right to vote. "Like other businesses in the community, we actively engaged with political leaders in both parties and other stakeholders to advocate for more equitable access to the polls and for integrity in the election process across the state. We echo the statement by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and stand ready to continue to help in ensuring every Georgia voter has the ability to vote," the company said. Mercedes-Benz said that it "stands against efforts which discourage eligible voters to participate in this vital process." In a blog post, Microsoft President Brad Smith noted the company expressed concern about the law prior to its passage and laid out its opposition in further detail, such as narrowing the window of time voters can request an absentee ballot. "We recognize that some recent criticisms of Georgia's legislation have proven inaccurate. But already, it's clear to us that the new law contains important provisions that needlessly and unfairly make it more difficult for people to vote," Smith wrote. "This new law falls short of the mark, and we should work together to press the Georgia legislature to change it," he added. Brian Moynihan, chairman and CEO of Bank of America, told CNBC in a statement that ensuring equal voting access is aligned with the company's investments in reducing racial inequality and increasing economic opportunity. "The right to vote – and the vital work that must be done to protect access to that right – is a fundamental principle in the United States," he said. "Our history in fact is punctuated by the moments when we expanded that right to those to whom it had been denied too long. We must continue to right the wrongs of our past, and stand united in our advocacy for equal voting rights for all." Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins shared his concern for the new law in a tweet. "Our vote is our voice, and everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard. Governments should be working to make it easier to vote, not harder. Ensuring equal #VotingRights isn't a political issue, it's an issue of right and wrong," he said. Home Depot, which is headquartered in Georgia, said that it will work to ensure its workers across the country have the resources and information to vote. "We believe that all elections should be accessible, fair and secure and support broad voter participation." JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement that "voting is fundamental to the health and future of our democracy," calling out restrictive election laws. "JPMorgan Chase employees span the United States and as state capitals debate election laws, we believe voting must be accessible and equitable. We regularly encourage our employees to exercise their fundamental right to vote, and we stand against efforts that may prevent them from being able to do so. We are a stronger country when every citizen has a voice and a vote," the company said. CNN first reported on the statement. Citigroup said it strongly opposes "efforts to undermine the ability of Americans to avail themselves of this fundamental right." In a LinkedIn post, American Express CEO Steve Squeri complimented the new effort co-led by the company's former chairman and chief executive, Ken Chenault, to spur corporate America stand up for voting rights. "As a company and leadership team, we support this message and stand against any efforts to suppress voting which is a fundamental right that belongs to all Americans," Squeri wrote. Facebook said that the company supports "making voting as accessible and broad-based as possible" and that it opposes "efforts to make it harder for people to vote." ViacomCBS said it believes "in the importance of all Americans having an equal right to vote and oppose the recent Georgia voting rights law or any effort that impedes the ability to exercise this vital constitutional right. Increasing voter access and civic engagement is one of ViacomCBS' core social impact pillars and we will continue to educate the public on the importance of an open and fair voting system through our programming and extensive partnerships with grassroots organizations that promote and increase participation in elections." |

salford1:All this sheananigans going on in Georgia will spell doom for the RepubliKKKans. Like I said before, Trump will damage the Party of Lincoln for at least one or two generations. What's happening in Georgia is about to happen in Texas and that's going to spur Blacks and Hispanics all over the Fruited Plains to get ready for another Blue Wave coming in 2022. Racism is not selling in America anymore and so is Jim Crowism. |

salford1:Haha. None of these companies can point out one thing that is wrong with the election bill. Whatever. They should cry as much as they can but the most the can get is ass wipe to wipe their tears. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 5:20pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
PrideofLincoln1:Wishful. Parroting what his slaves masters want him to parrot while his parents are suffering in a rat infested lagos. |

Cornpop:Do you really think it's right to insult someone's else's parents just because of Nairaland discussions or arguments? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 5:35pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Konkoja:These dudes always insult people that disagrees with them. All I post about his parents is what he says about people. I just substitute those people for his parents. He call them poor because they are in Nigeria. Says they suffer from mosquitoes and rats. All sort of insult. But the irony is that his parents are trapped in Nigeria. Go and check his post history and see what he says to people. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Cornpop: 5:51pm On Apr 04, 2021 |
Konkoja:Look at him thinking it is everyone who wants to leave their country to the US. If that was the case why are his parents trapped in Nigeria? If he is so rich he would have gotten them out of the country he always portrays as dirt, rat infested and poor. But the coon said they went to us, studied and worked for 30 years only to go back to nigeria to retire ![]() Who does he think we are; Babies?

Cornpop:Our values in life determine a lot of things we do or how we do them. If you are are a tit for tat person why not insult him back? Why his parents? I just thought I will draw your attention to that - all the best. |
