Of course not Mel, but it was reason enough for the governor-elect son (and his friend). Beyond being used to prevent people from voting by mail or using drop off boxes, thus discouraging working class people from voting, which is its real intent, voter ID is a fail...

An overview on :"voter ID"
"Millions of Americans Lack ID. 11% of U.S. citizens – or more than 21 million Americans – do not have government-issued photo identification.1
Obtaining ID Costs Money. Even if ID is offered for free, voters must incur numerous costs (such as paying for birth certificates) to apply for a government-issued ID.
Underlying documents required to obtain ID cost money, a significant expense for lower-income Americans. The combined cost of document fees, travel expenses and waiting time are estimated to range from $75 to $175.2
The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.3
Voter ID Laws Reduce Voter Turnout. A 2014 GAO study found that strict photo ID laws reduce turnout by 2-3 percentage points,4 which can translate into tens of thousands of votes lost in a single state."

This has been discussed before in similar threads in this forum. Another retracted study had the following ripple effect: "in one recent meta-analysis in the American Journal of Therapeutics that found ivermectin greatly reduced COVID-19 deaths4, the Elgazzar paper accounted for 15.5% of the effect."

"The BBC can reveal that more than a third of 26 major trials of the drug for use on Covid have serious errors or signs of potential fraud. None of the rest show convincing evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness."
"Dr Kyle Sheldrick, one of the group investigating the studies, said they had not found "a single clinical trial" claiming to show that ivermectin prevented Covid deaths that did not contain "either obvious signs of fabrication or errors so critical they invalidate the study"."

"The pointed campaign"? What are you talking about? Another conspiracy is it? Sheesh...

It's high time to remind the Saudi's who provides them with security against an Iranian attack. Either they play ball or we scale back our security arrangements. And they can't simply switch over to Russian systems, either... 

"It's hard to imagine anything but high fives and cheers in the West Wing with those headlines circulating,"
"First, the labor market appears to be rounding a corner — finally — in its recovery from Covid-19 shutdowns, as employers added more than half a million jobs last month, handily exceeding expectations."
"Then there was even more to cheer with news that Pfizer's experimental coronavirus pill reduced the risk of hospitalization and death in a trial.
The stock market surged on the double dose of optimism. The Dow was up around 300 points, or 0.8%, at the opening bell."

"This did not happen by accident or 'just because,'" Biden said Friday in address on the strong jobs report. "We laid the foundation for this recovery with my American Rescue Plan that Congress passed at the beginning of my term."
"A Moody's Analytics report released Thursday paints sunny macroeconomic picture as a backdrop to Biden's proposal."
"Concerns that the plan will ignite undesirably high inflation and an overheating economy are overdone," the report says. "The fiscal support it provides will ensure the economy only returns to full employment from the recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic."
