The id problem happens more often than you think. In my own extended family, I once went to get a birth certificate for an aunt, back when that's all you needed to drive to Canada. They couldn't find it, until the woman helping me figured out that her birth certificate was registered under her name in Polish, not the English version that we all knew her by and that she had used her entire adult life. In my own case, my parents registered me under Social Security using a shortened version of my actual birth name - I was advised to get it changed before applying for Medicare, which I did.
I remember reading about situations where people used one name and had all their ids under that name their whole life, and then it turned out their birth name was different, their birth certificate was in a different state, and they had great trouble obtaining it.

Hate to admit I agree with this POS. Gohmert is BY FAR the dumbest, Johnson is top 3 without a doubt and probably #2.

O boy Gohmert is the house, which honestly 1/2 (if not more) are morons (not for their beliefs, but literal dumb dumbs), across party lines

And Gohmert has a lot of company.  Ron Johnson is a great disappointment.  I admit I voted for him in 2010 because 18 years was enough for his opponent and Johnson seemed genuine.  His transformation this last decade is sad.  I have little doubt he's compromised in some form.

  you can disagree with people, but doesn't mean they are "dumb"

just an updated fyi-less than half the "young people" and only about 36% of the african americans are vaccinated.  over 92% of "older people are vaccinated.  has little to do with party line unless those unvaccinated have swung over to the "good guys" ;D

Are you actually trying to claim there isn't a difference in vaccination rates among political parties?

I do believe though, that the divide is growing smaller.

You do realize that your article agrees that there's a difference in vaccination rates among political parties.  Right?

Of course there are going to be differences, but just not to the extent the "Pravda" has been hammering us with every day.  It's not about political party that has been hurting us but key demographic within each party that have. If African American demographic is remiss, one has to believe they are mostly dem voters right?  And younger people, if they are of voting age, are probably mostly dem voters

So yeah, the article  points out some differences, just not what we have been hammered and hammered with over the past 6 mos  that Republicans are responsible for refusing the vax

There are many segmentations that explain slow uptake on the vaccine.  Top ones I've seen is political party, education, income, religion and race. Many times someone can represent multiple categories within there.  Unfortunately multiple of those cross points coalesce to a major explanation being an R. It doesnt for D even though there are segments that certainly haven't gotten the vaccine. 

Unfortunately quantitative analysis doesn't care about sides and apparently feelings.

Actually the idea that the press is leading people to believe it is primarily conservatives that are refusing to vaccinate is absolutely false.  I know you like to blame the media constantly, but I have seen PLENTY of articles that say it is a widespread problem.  For instance, yesterday's New York Times.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/31/us/virus-unvaccinated-americans.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes

So instead of constantly wasting your breath here complaining about the media, try to get some of your conservative types to get vaccinated.  It would be more helpful and less whiney.

Republicans get a bad rap with vaccinations bc people like Tucker Carlson go on tv every night and question vaccines.

You don't have a prominent voice like his in the African American or young people community doing the same.

All of this has been well documented. It's been discussed  here often. And it's been acknowledged repeatedly by the legitimate media.

Now, which "side's" political  leaders and misinformation  outlets have actively, aggressively worked to undermine vaccine distribution and sow doubt about the efficacy of the vaccines these last 6-7 months?

Right.  And are blocking vaccine mandates...preventing the UW System from implementing Covid rules...and holding forums claiming that they are unsafe...
