Almost all states that do not require a photo ID to vote went for Democrat Kamala Harris, and vice versa; nearly all of those that did require IDs went for the Republican Donald Trump, according to media reports.
An MSN story reports, “Of the 19 states won by Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election, 18 of them don’t require voters to show photo identification to vote, according to a National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) review of laws in effect as of April 2024.” That state is Pennsylvania; after the MSN story was written, Nevada (also a photo ID state) was declared a Trump state.
Vermont is among 15 states that don’t require any form of ID to vote, and nine more require an ID but don’t need a photo.
“Vermont does not require voters to present identification while voting in most cases. However, first-time voters who registered by mail are required to present identification [for example, drivers’ license or a billing envelope] at the polls,” Ballotpedia reports.
A Newsweek report adds, “In states that mandate photo ID, voters must present a government-issued document with their name and photograph, such as a driver’s license or U.S. passport.”
Vermont “one of the easiest places to vote in the country”
In an article titled, “Vermont has become one of the easiest places to vote in the country, but gaps remain” Vermont Public examines how few hurdles there are to vote in the Green Mountain State.
“After a series of changes, many over the last decade, Vermont has become one of the easiest places to vote in the country, vaulting to the top of measures like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Elections Performance Index — and, according to officials, even influencing voter turnout,” the report states.
Vermont embraces universal mail-in ballots, meaning ballots are sent automatically to all voters on the checklist. The Vermont Public story notes how voter participation has subsequently jumped.
“Vermont tried universal mail-in voting in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That timing coincides with a jump in general election participation, from about 63% in 2016 to 73% in 2020,” it states.
Data anomalies
However, the Vermont Secretary of State’s Office continues to see unexplained anomalies in their election data reporting, as highlighted by VDC. This includes spanning two documents concerning election turnout for 2022 there are three tallies for voter turnout and three for voter registration. The SOS office has declined to offer any explanation.
Dr. Douglas Frank, a Nobel Prize-nominated physicist, and former military fraud detector Col. Shawn Smith, both participated in a public event on election integrity in Vermont this summer. They highlighted vulnerabilities for fraud in both mail-in and electronic voting and data inconsistencies as highlighted by VDC.
Trump sounds off alleged fraud
The President-elect has taken on a controversy concerning one alleged incident including ballots that appeared to have been filled out by the same person.
“In Lancaster they found 2600 ballots all done by the same exact hand. The same pen, the same penmanship, the same everything. Then they try to say this is a conspiracy theory. The whole world watches this. Even third world countries say they take fingerprints before they vote. In California they’re not even allowed to ask for Voter ID, if they do ask, they can go to jail,” Trump wrote on X.
Some media calls story a hoax
Some mainstream media outlets call the Lancaster story a hoax, although Politifact appears to confirm the outlines of the story. But they admit when it comes to photo ID, the states that Kamala won do not require it. Snopes notes that first-time voters are required to show ID in some – not all – such ‘no ID states.’
Laws changing
Nationally, voter ID requirements generally have increased since the 2020 election. NBC News reported on the latest states to set new ID laws.
“Eight states have enacted voter ID laws since the 2020 election, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures: Arkansas, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio and Wyoming,” they report.

You can add this one to Roper’s list of do-over legislations.
I little while ago a friend rented a car. Funny thing, he had to show a government ID.
Gee… what a concept.
I bought a car last week and had to show my VT driver’s license…how racist.
Well of course, they rely on the left’s government ” TIT ” policies ” so they go with the flow free this free that on the taxpayers backs, so with no ID, all you need is a name and an address, if your a legal to vote or not, but even that couldn’t save the anointed one Harris
Vermont’s liberal take on voting, No ID, day of registration, a plethora of mail out ballots, part time college students voting here and in there home state, so what could go wrong ??
And now you understand how they stay in power, and why the state is in the condition it is in with debt, taxes and more taxes……
I been voting a very, very long time, we always had a day of election, they used to ask for ID and a paper ballot, the on;y mail in ballots were requested so why the changes ???
Why the changes? So, they can cheat.
Election Factoids
Biden puts on a Trump MAGA hat Sept. 11th
Biden calls Trump supporters “Garbage Sept. 29th
Jill Biden wears bright red dress on election day.
Trump wins electoral college and the popular vote.
Every state Kommie-la won had no voter ID laws.
Kommie-la spent over one billion dollars and her campaign is in debt 20 million.
Trump spent about 400 million. Kommie-la spent 20 million on election eve for musical performances by Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi & Lady Gaga. Seven swing state concerts produced zero victories.
This whole election was a money laundering operation and the TEL. LIE. VISION. crooks got most of the money. The results will be known by June of 2025.
Years ago, I once got to watch election fraud perpetrated, and the value of voter ID, all in the same night. And it was hilarious.
In a small town in CT, a kid had been riding his motocross dirt bike at his grandparent’s property after school. Admittedly, the bikes can be loud. Neighbors complained to the town, whereupon the town dutifully drafted a noise ordinance, and put it to the people for a vote held one night in the high school auditorium, which is often settled with a show of hands.
But when the anti-ordinance crowd displayed their hands, it was quickly suspected that the kid had brought lots and lots of friends, and most were not residents of the town, nor probably even old enough to vote.
A murmer went through the audience at the notion of interlopers interfering with a town matter! How dare they!!
In order to rectify this, a town official suggested the need to prove your town bona fides, in which case a yellow Post-It note would be issued to raise up, indicating your vote.
But after the announcement that everyone would have to file out of the auditorium for an ID check, someone in this very liberal town in this very liberal state, said “Wait, I thought we were against voter ID?”
You could hear the mental screeching brakes. He was quickly shut down, and ideology and virtue-signaling was immediately discarded in order to salvage the demands of the liberal masses.
The noise ordinance was passed by the town. And I, and everyone else, was witness to the REAL reason why libs don’t want any sort of accountability in swing states. Pure hilarity.
And yet in one of the most important elections my county only had a 67% turn out. Why is that? Is it because it’s so easy many feel disenfranchised?
Some dead people may vote here in Vermont but I think a majority of former out of state college students voting by proxy (if you know what I mean) are a problem. They showed their ID when they registered long before they graduated and left. Not all States cross reference who voted and where.
Statistically improbable and polls are worthless, useless, compensated lies. For example: “Phil Scott, the most popular governor in the United States.” I wonder if he’ll have that etched onto his grave stone? Will his official portrait feature a jester’s hat or full on clown outfit riding a donkey leading an elephant?
If anything, the cheating and rigging is exposed. The MSM is exposed. The corrupt DC and State establisments exposed. Many mouths left agape. Many people who believed the lies are embarrassed and humbled. Crisis hotlines backed up. Unfortunately, some have alledgedly committed suicide due to the evil demonic spells cast upon the naive party line believers.
The towers of power are crumbling under the weight of their own debauchery and con games. Let it be done, let it be so – it is high time for common sense and civility be restored for the good of the Republic and for the wellbeing of all the People.
