post of the year!!!What is really funny is you don't need an ID to vote.
It is because the laws and penalties in the USA are very harsh if you serve an underage person. For this reason most servers ask for ID for everyone to be safe....you know we got 14yr olds that look 21+ and if you serve that minor you are in a world of trouble in the USA. Hope that answers your question lol

RC Cola with rum from the supermarket and a motorcycle that I secretly kept at an older friend's house at age 12. The Cuba Libre in the UK, the bike in the US. I didn't mix the two.I was buying beer illegally before I was old enough to drive.
I had to leave my parent's house to buy a Honda 350 Scrambler. A friend borrowed it, against my wishes, and totaled it.RC Cola with rum from the supermarket and a motorcycle that I secretly kept at an older friend's house at age 12.

They ask for an I.D. in my town for some reason. Doenst matter really. It's a small town and the volunteers know just about everyone. I say Hi Holly to the asst. town clerk in the gym and she checks me off and hands me a ballot. No double voting or deceased voting here.What is really funny is you don't need an ID to vote.
I totaled my bike and put a big dent in the side of an LA city bus. "Ow, my arm." A cop brushed the dust off me and let me go!I had to leave my parent's house to buy a Honda 350 Scrambler. A friend borrowed it, against my wishes, and totaled it.
We're trending towards moving adulthood to 21 in almost everything. Some things are just lagging behind.
My theory is that the children of lawmakers are not working jobs and taking on adult responsibilities before 21, so that's why we are getting these laws.
I can't relate since I worked summer jobs throughout high school and worked while I was going to technical college to pay for it.
How do they know who signed it?Why should you? I sign a register with my name on it under penalty of fraud if it's under someone elses...
It had more to do with the push against drunk driving, which I get. But when I was a kid 18 was the legal age here, then briefly it was 19 before the FHA began threatening to deny funding to any state where the legal age was under 21...
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Minimum_Drinking_Age_Act#:~:text=§ 158) was passed by,highway apportionment by 10 percent.
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 (23 U.S.C. § 158) was passed by the United States Congress and was later signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on July 17, 1984.[1][2][3] The act would punish any state that allowed persons under 21 years to purchase alcoholic beverages by reducing its annual federal highway apportionment by 10 percent. The law was later amended, lowering the penalty to 8 percent from fiscal year 2012 and beyond.[4]
Despite its name, this act did not outlaw the consumption of alcoholic beverages by those under 21 years of age, just their purchase or public possession. However, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, New Hampshire, and West Virginia, extended the law into an outright ban. The minimum purchase and drinking ages is a state law, and most states still permit "underage" consumption of alcohol in some circumstances. In some states, no restriction on private consumption is made, while in other states, consumption is only allowed in specific locations, in the presence of consenting and supervising family members, as in the states of Colorado, Maryland, Montana, New York, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Some states even allow persons under 21 years of age to drink alcohol in public places, such as in Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts and Louisiana as long as the parent or guardian consents to it and is the one that buys the alcohol and is at least 21 years old. The act also does not seek to criminalize alcohol consumption during religious occasions (e.g., communion wines, Kiddush).
The act was expressly upheld as constitutional in 1987 by the United States Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Dole.
Possession, consumption, purchase, or procurement of alcohol beverages by an underage person is illegal, unless an exception applies. An underage person that is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking age may possess, consume, purchase, or procure alcohol beverages. Additionally, alcohol beverages may be sold or served to accompanied underage persons in any licensed premises, at the discretion of the licensee.
Wisconsin allows consumption by a minor in a bar or restaurant if you are with a parent or guardian. It also allows purchase under the same conditions. This includes a spouse under 21 if the partner is 21 or over. This is likely the most liberal in the nation, especially the purchase part. Several attempts have been made to incorporate additional restrictions to the law but all have failed.
Can a tip feature be added for if they feel the county clerk did a good job with the bail processing?Scanning “your” barcode isn’t to verify your age. It’s to track your consumption. Won’t be long before health (and auto, for that matter) insurance companies start tracking consumption of everything they deem harmful to health and adjust your rates accordingly.
“Oh, we see your ID barcode was scanned at a bar 14 miles from your house and you had 5 beers in an hour, and we tracked your phone and car while you drove back to your house. There were no other cell signals tracking with your vehicle movement, so we know it was you. Here’s your DUI fine & notice of your license revocation. Click here if you’d like to round up to the next dollar to donate to the political party in power.”
How do they know who signed it?
There isn't really anything to be diligent about. Where I vote, the sweet 80 year old lady opens the book to a name and I sign and they hand me a ballot.They don't but the poll workers I've seen are diligent, and stealing a vote is a pretty low payoff crime and study after study show that illegal voting is rare and mostly done out of ignorance (ie moved to a different district but voted in their old address area.) Most actual crimes involve fraud and misinformation aimed at suppressing the vote...
It's like we've lost the plot when it comes to "Land of the Free" isn't it?I always think it's funny how in the USA they ask you for your id anywhere when buying alcohol even if you are obviously +21.
Here in Spain you can even buy alcohol in the self check out area of supermarkets and nobody asks for Id's , the attendant at the self check out just looks at you and decides, people usually don't ask for id unless you really look like you might not be 18.
I could see maybe it makes sense if the person is young but being asked to show id when you already have gray hair seems silly.
Hope i don't make anyone angry.
When I was 18 just out of boot camp went to NAS Alameda, they had beer machines in the barracks, 2 bits a can, never had enough quarters.I was 19 in the Army and regularly bought beer and even liquor on post, off post I was old enough to get shot for my country but too young for a beer...
