Want to learn more about threats to democracy? VICE World News is hosting a midterms streamathon on Twitch on Tuesday Nov. 8 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Correspondents from around the country will call in to explain what's really going on in America right now. Join us at Twitch.tv/vice.
What Trump is afraid of is that many illegal immigrants who come from all over the world can vote freely without having any ID and not being the citizen of America, the democrats don't care if they let in millions of illegal immigrants cos they think they're gonna vote for em and that's why they don't even care if democracy is being crush as long as they're in power , I'm waiting for vice to do a segment on Joe Biden 😜 that'll be fun 😊
Paying to vote? I thought Americans are the richest people, is there anyone poor enough that they can't even pay for an ID, everyother country have an ID so why would there be a problem for America, u need an ID to buy a liquor but u can't have an ID to choose ur leader? How would you feel if anyone from another country can vote in ur country election
@@vanny3194 as a right, you don't have to provide an ID, the same way you don't to exercise freedom of speech. Alcohol consumption isn't an enumerated right, despite what certain parts will have you believe. Socioeconomic factors are also at play, not everyone is a Becky with a stay at home mom where it was just de facto and expected to get a license and car as a gift, with someone to pay for the expenses, tests and lessons. An ID is not a license, but in a car centric, urban sprawl, single family home centered society, that's often the move.
In any reasonable country, it should be the State verifying whether someone is an eligible voter, not expecting people to figure it out by themselves and arrest them if they figure out wrong. But this is Florida.
We are called the “United STATES”. The federal government is not the all be all. But if you don’t like the US, your more than welcome to move to whatever “reasonable country” you find fit 😊
@@Rebel940 okay reading comprehension not great, but what can you expect. They didn’t say the federal government they said the state. Yknow the body responsible for all this voting stuff and keeping track of who is able to vote. And this argument about just moving is so dumb I hardly feel the need to address it so instead I’ll flip it. If you don’t like transparency and protection from entrapment from the government and don’t like people trying to improve things I suggest you move to a country that doesn’t care about these things like China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia.
The guy he interviewed first was so much BS. They had a form on their website, doesn’t explain on the form they need to seek advisory first, then charge ppl. It’s the government’s responsibility to ensure all legible voter to get to vote, not the individual
They know they can't directly block you from voting, so make it as annoying or expensive and difficult as possible. Fein ignorance when pressed. And watch as many don't vote at all. Or just redraw the map again.
That Florida Secretary of State needs to know that voting is the right of every citizen, not a privilege requiring a struggle to assert. Vote him out, and get a responsible public servant!
Dude its Florida. They love this sh*t. They LOVE Ron DeSantis and they don't actually want free and fair elections they want Republican victories under any circumstance.
I think what the republicans are afraid of is that many people who are not the citizen of the country would change the outcome of an election, also if there's a voters ID it'll be much more difficult to manipulate the voting system, it is the right of every legitimate citizens to vote so why is it so bad to have an ID i don't get it, in our country every citizen have a voters ID, rich poor blind mute everyone and no person from other can vote in our election
At 17, I became a felon(burglary of a building) plead guilty, got out & GOT HELP, went to college, I’m now a 24 year old social worker. In Texas allegedly felons are allowed to vote, but the restrictions are terrifyingly unclear. I feel like I should hire a lawyer just so I can vote for the first time.
I'm sorry for your significant dilemma. You shouldn't have to pay for your misconduct at age 17 for the rest of your life, you served your time and you turned your life around. The rules are purposefully ambiguous for purposes of entrapment. It's just another way they continue to punish you for a wrong you committed years ago for which you repented. We have a punishment system in this country, not a rehabilitation system.
It is worth your effort and I am sure there are some organizations with free legal advice that would be willing to help you with that process. Your vote matters and you deserve to have one!
I got a first degree felony in Texas in 2014, got a 5 year sentence (It clearly wasn't the crime of the century, I was a drug addict), and I was able to vote in the 2020 election. The only stipulation for a felon to vote in Texas is to discharge your sentence (whether you do that in prison or on parole). Your voting rights are automatically restored. The only issue I had was when I went to the polling station, I initially couldn't vote, but I had my voter registration, ID, and paperwork showing I'd finished my sentence. The poll worker called someone, asked if I was "still on paper (parole)", and allowed me to vote. That's how it went for me in 2020. I can't say what that situation may have been like if it happened now. But like I said, the law says a felon in Texas is automatically allowed to vote after completing his or her entire sentence. codes.findlaw.com/tx/election-code/elec-sect-11-002.html
They don't care. The lying jackass they interviewed has never had to try to use that process. The law only requires them to make it available, they don't have to help anyone that tries to use it.
That's their plan, to make it harder for people, esp ppl who are likely to vote democrat, to vote in any elections.. They rep havent hidden their agenda at all. Why do you think they tto to get Trump lojalists & sheep into every seat of power who has any connection to any elections.. People in different positions of power didn't listen to trumps orders to go against the system & toppke democracy when Biden won, so lets change all those people to trump wannabe's who are corrupt. So if he looses in 2024, they wount need to use violence, bcs of their corrupt friends who has the power then & the changes in the voting system will make it possible to declare a president trump! So it dosent matter as mutch if the plan to stop democrats from voting dosent succeed & how many votes he gets, or what the electoral collague says, they can now just change the result bcs of the corrupt sheep put in power on local & state levels
I'll come in your country and vote for the party that u don't like , how would you feel? I know many Grandma who don't even have a phone not to mention face time but they got ID , ur grandma is ur grandma but I'm surprise that u can't do anything to get her an ID
Which "liars"are you talking about? The GOP election denier overseeing Florida elections or the people set up to appear as liars? There is no way an ex- Black convict would risk voting knowing they would go back to prison. That's what MAGA, QAnon, 45ers, Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, the GOP and the SCOTUS do/ are doing!
This is a show of power, DeSantis wants everyone that would vote against him to know that they would be subject to the same. Much like a statue of a civil war confederate hero is to intimidate black people to know their place.
Pretty sad when 2nd and 3rd world countries can hold their top leaders accountable when they break laws and engage in blatant corruption yet we appear to be incapable of it. (Obviously not all such countries are doing this nor am I saying such places are free of really serious political leaders corruption or law violation just that it's crazy to me that we can't seem to muster serious consequences)
It's called 'money', and it is the ruling law around these parts. ;) Revoking "Citizens United" and getting back the 'one person, one vote' aspect will help a great deal. The voice of a billionaire should not outweigh a hobo. Especially in the modern world, where the social media posting of an 'influencer' can make half a million, but a parent raising their child alone has to work three jobs just to cover living expense. Our modern world is fucked, and going to collapse if we don't make some serious changes.
@@odros I think he did answer all our questions, but more in body language than in words. The sad part is he wasn't man enough to own his b.s. in front of a reporter.
People who served their sentences did their time. They paid their debt to society. They should have there voting rights restored. This is just legalized disenfranchisement.
Nobody is able to listen to trump lmfao everyone hears the edited biased version that the media makes of him. You still trust news outlets that aim a narrative that smears someone's name? You need to wake up.
Now they’re trying to kill the spouses of democrats. Someone almost killed Pelosis husband last night. They broke into the house and beat him with a hammer.
@@AL-bv7jt sadly it will NEVER happen. Would love to see VICE cover Roger Ailes creation of Fox so that A republican crook would NEVER see Jail time. Look it up, stuff isn't hidden. A little Obfuscated, but not hidden.
"There are consequences for lying" said the Secretary of State in Florida! Then go arrest your Governor, go arrest our former President. I'm so sick of this double-standard justice system.
@@fighter2252 involvement in Hunter Biden's influence peddling, insider trading and if we're going to indict Republicans for lying to their constituents we better do the same thing with Democrats. Equal representation under the law after all. Both parties, as well as the whole system are broken.

I wonder how many they found that voted the way they wanted and was ignored. He says they are helping, but won't except that people are saying its hard to look it up. Helping would be take the criticism and fix it. Not get upset and spew excuses.
You mean the one that resulted in one Rioter being shot and killed by Capital Police. And a Police Officer dieing of a heart attack. While Rioters are denied Constitutional Rights of a Speedy trial and attorney. All while BLM and Antifa rioted in Washington DC and Across America, burning stuff down and murdering numerous people.

They didn't have to specifically label it voter fraud in Florida. They voted for whom they thought would be best to represent them. Sounds like it should have been labeled just, "ineligible to vote charges". Just seems like it was done on purpose.
Between the lack of objectivity in news reporting and the lack of truth-seeking among voters, this country is ripe for manipulation by powers that are not for democracy and freedom. This applies to every citizen in this country.
What's the difference? You have millennials and gen z acting like a bunch of babies too. I'm honestly tired of seeing this biased news. I followed vice because of the documentaries they post every now and then that are actually good. This is bs
@@MayorMcheese12 baby boomers are the most sensitive generation by far. Ask anyone from the golden generation or silent generation and even ask millennials
@@ChronicAndIronic yeah I'm gen z and I would disagree by far my generation is the most sensitive we are called snowflakes for a reason. Granted this is more about the people and less about there generation. Plenty of craziness on both left and right, plenty of left and right across generations.
@@NDB1010 your generation isn't systematically repressing rights based off a book that came out when people thought the fucking earth was flat. So their is a pretty substantial difference
There already are, but people don’t vote for them because they are too afraid. Americans are just a bunch of farm animals looking for the nearest trough to feed from. It’s why the only thing voters care about is how the financiers are doing on the stock market and the cost of goods… as if it’s not those same people fixing the prices of goods, also buying politicians off to pass the legislation they write up for them. If Americans don’t catch on to the scam soon, we are going to spiral out of control.
Voting is central to democracy. People should not be punished or ARRESTED for attempting to vote, regardless of their record they are a part of society. What a waste of resources.
Note from the UK: America is broken (UK may/will follow?). Majority of Americans seem to suffer from metal health/illness issue in various degrees. Decades of insular wealth and decadence has taken its toll. The advent of social media has caused conspiracy, mistrust and hate. I apologise and say this without malice. Please take care
I agree about the media being the major issue. Firstly, I DETEST Chuck Todd!! I'm disgusted with this both-sides approach to democracy when only one side is attempting to destroy it!!!
I subscribed about three weeks ago. I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Love your stories. Love your fact-based ,not analysis, but truth to power information,news that rings true.
Please remember that there are millions of normal people here that know and are very worried about the crimes, injustice and the orange monster. Not everyone has been indoctrinated into the trump cult.
I compare this situation to a corrupt corporation. Once again the CEO gets off with a slap on the wrist and the people ultimately suffer. Unless the president and heads of states get held accountable for what they did, we are just enabling this issue.
right. I miss so much the days of the early 2010s when I was growing up. The internet was such a fun crazy world with all kinds of funny and interesting things I never would have thought back then in a million years this is where we'd be. I miss those days so much
9:55 "full citizenship status." Sounds like the Taney opinion in Dred Scott regarding full citizenship and legal protection. Wonder what size hood he wears
SOS Byrd stated that the system to determine fees and restitution was much too fragmented and convoluted for his office to navigate/compile, then turned right around and insisted regular citizens could and should figure that out under threat of imprisonment. If the voter gets it wrong, SOS has no problem accessing the info to prosecute.
I was caged by Matt Blunt when he was Missouri Secretary of State and running for Governor. I voted in the primary and weeks later when I went to vote in the general my name had been removed! They tried to give me a provisional ballot but I stood my ground and demanded a regular ballot. I showed my new voter registration card and waited for my ballot. Missouri was "Ground Zero" for "Caging" people who were registered but removed to stop democrats from voting. While in many states more democrats voted but because of gerrymandering more republicans are elected to state house government. Republicans never stop thinking of more ways to STEAL THE VOTE! In one word they CHEAT!
When in doubt you probably should sit it out bcuz aint no way in the world i world risk going to jail for voting 😂man yall can hve that mess the whole system is a pile of crap smh smh
So even if you call his office direct as suggested, at best, said citizen will be given nothing more than a legal opinion. THIS is why I left the Republican Party at 30 years old. No person with a conscience could sit here and support the lies and deception coming out of this man’s mouth.
Fun fact: the original introducer was about two shirt sizes smaller than the guy in this video. When they recast the role, they saved some money by using the original wardrobe
Vice is the only TH-cam channel I pay for and I'm happy too. I wish you wouldn't do this history channel style camera angles and voice, it's beneath you. I do thank you for the content.

I’m really surprised you didn’t bring up the role of profit while discussing media. Also, speaking of profit motivation, great show but waaaay too many ads. It will make me wary of clicking on your stories in the future
People being arrested for voter fraud when they received the ability to vote again? I’m not a felon or anything of the sort but, this type of sh*t just makes me not want to vote at all and I’m sure others feel the same way.
that's what they WANT you to do. Not Vote. If you really want some change, vote please. These people are manipulating you to not vote and scare you out so they can win majority.
That officer was being nice, it makes me realize why they turn shitty, they have to, you'd be exhausted from feeling bad each and every day. I am not condoning it, but it's starting to make more sense. We need to change their job, and maybe over time we can deal with this problem.
Sure is a lot better having the host turn and talk to the camera when the angle changes rather than random angles while they talk to a void.....thanks for that improvement!

This country is not guaranteed a democracy. It’s guaranteed a republic.

Between the lack of objectivity in news reporting and the lack of truth-seeking among voters, this country is ripe for manipulation by powers that are not for democracy and freedom. This applies to every citizen in this country.
ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS OVER 18 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE!!! PERIOD!!
I agree but there should be some vetting and regulations
Love these videos but would really, really, really appreciate some time stamps.
DeSantis is a cruel man. Is this really what America wants? This really is awful
Deny, Delay - that's all anyone with power needs to do to get off scot-free
What a joke. The establishment lies every day, all the time and never gets to face consequences.
Imagine getting charged with a felony for voting in a democratic process
This series should be mandatory viewing for everyone over 18
What's the difference? You have millennials and gen z acting like a bunch of babies too. I'm honestly tired of seeing this biased news. I followed vice because of the documentaries they post every now and then that are actually good. This is bs
@@MayorMcheese12 yeah and some baby boomers act like babies too. It's all in the parenting
@@MayorMcheese12 baby boomers are the most sensitive generation by far. Ask anyone from the golden generation or silent generation and even ask millennials
@@ChronicAndIronic yeah I'm gen z and I would disagree by far my generation is the most sensitive we are called snowflakes for a reason. Granted this is more about the people and less about there generation. Plenty of craziness on both left and right, plenty of left and right across generations.
@@NDB1010 your generation isn't systematically repressing rights based off a book that came out when people thought the fucking earth was flat. So their is a pretty substantial difference
Hold pharmaceutical companies accountable, hold politicians accountable, hold the prison system accountable. This is fund rasing. Not accountability.
As long as there's a thing called special interest there will never be accountability
Blame SCOTUS
It’s just ignorant people who think they are doing their job but enabling destruction. Unreal.
"Just following orders" SMH.
I can’t believe Secretary of State Cord Byrd would dare to wear a TAN BLAZER for his Vice interview!!!
TAN-GATE
Interesting that he admits that they’re second class citizens….
The 13th amendment states slaves... so second class citizens is just a classy way to say slaves
Gotta admit Vice is still pretty tight. Dig the host and who doesn't like Greg Walters. Well done.
So background checks on whether you can vote but not own a gun. America is f'd
I feel like this dude just stood up there for 3 hrs doing these intros
Stupid laws in Florida..
Who are the candidates out there who are worth committing voter fraud for? I must not have heard of them.
That’s why we need more than two parties
There already are, but people don’t vote for them because they are too afraid. Americans are just a bunch of farm animals looking for the nearest trough to feed from. It’s why the only thing voters care about is how the financiers are doing on the stock market and the cost of goods… as if it’s not those same people fixing the prices of goods, also buying politicians off to pass the legislation they write up for them. If Americans don’t catch on to the scam soon, we are going to spiral out of control.
DeSantis = Bolsonaro. I see no differences.
Voting is central to democracy. People should not be punished or ARRESTED for attempting to vote, regardless of their record they are a part of society. What a waste of resources.
Note from the UK: America is broken (UK may/will follow?). Majority of Americans seem to suffer from metal health/illness issue in various degrees. Decades of insular wealth and decadence has taken its toll. The advent of social media has caused conspiracy, mistrust and hate. I apologise and say this without malice. Please take care
This coment shoukd be at the top
Your opening gives off serious tabloid TMZ vibes 🤣
Maybe not a bad idea though as TMZ has phenom viewership numbers.
I agree about the media being the major issue. Firstly, I DETEST Chuck Todd!! I'm disgusted with this both-sides approach to democracy when only one side is attempting to destroy it!!!
Tuck Chodd is trash
So wait criminals can’t vote but they can run for office ? 😂
I subscribed about three weeks ago. I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Love your stories. Love your fact-based ,not analysis, but truth to power information,news that rings true.
You are truly a brainwashed fool I’ve seen some of your comments
They’re wonderful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean liberal bias
Ready for for some RedKarma...Beta?
This country’s going to hell in a hand basket soon!!!😢
The republifart’s have already sent us on our way there.
@@EndeavorsDnB since electing that actor Reagan, we've been fkd for days
America is a strange country, the evil the wicked can just name themselves as justice. The worst of humanity is in these country
Please remember that there are millions of normal people here that know and are very worried about the crimes, injustice and the orange monster. Not everyone has been indoctrinated into the trump cult.
I compare this situation to a corrupt corporation. Once again the CEO gets off with a slap on the wrist and the people ultimately suffer. Unless the president and heads of states get held accountable for what they did, we are just enabling this issue.
Excellent series 👏 👌 👍 🙌
We need real accountability not this
Show up and vote on Election Day. Make it a holiday even. It’s not difficult. Why do we want to let felons vote, FFS?! Narrative harder, Vice.
Pandora's box has been opened, welcome to the new America where political ideology now includes violence.
No truer words have been spoken. A similar thing happened in Rome when they had a republic. I wonder how that turned out? Oh yeah, not good.
That has been America since 1776
Like antifa has been doing for about a decade
@@firstlast8258 oh really? when was the last time the peaceful transfer of power was attacked? where did you learn history, trump u?
Yeah the Democrats should never have unleashed their ANTIFA and BLM supporters.
Thank you for this series.
The internet was amazing when politics was out of it.
right. I miss so much the days of the early 2010s when I was growing up. The internet was such a fun crazy world with all kinds of funny and interesting things I never would have thought back then in a million years this is where we'd be. I miss those days so much
@@marniusvanderlubbe The fun stuff is still there.
It’s become a weapon
9:55 "full citizenship status."
Sounds like the Taney opinion in Dred Scott regarding full citizenship and legal protection. Wonder what size hood he wears
If you live in America, Please dont just watch videos and get angry GO VOTE, i VOTED STRAIGHT BLUE, go vote vote vote.
Man every time thag cord guy started talking my dog started going crazy
SOS Byrd stated that the system to determine fees and restitution was much too fragmented and convoluted for his office to navigate/compile, then turned right around and insisted regular citizens could and should figure that out under threat of imprisonment. If the voter gets it wrong, SOS has no problem accessing the info to prosecute.
If the voter application form isn't an official document, then why are people being arrested for filling it out incorrectly?
I can hear the conflict in these officers voices. I can hear in their voice that arresting these people is going against their own principles.
So why ho against your principles. Because ita my job is not a good answer.
@@fireangel4me2know56 not a good answer but soldiers and cops been using that line, for hundreds of years... u think they gonna stop?
Ohh Jesus...You can't have a Coup with no firearms.
Stop it🤦♂️
Awesome series, 👌 great reporting .
I was caged by Matt Blunt when he was Missouri Secretary of State and running for Governor. I voted in the primary and weeks later when I went to vote in the general my name had been removed! They tried to give me a provisional ballot but I stood my ground and demanded a regular ballot. I showed my new voter registration card and waited for my ballot. Missouri was "Ground Zero" for "Caging" people who were registered but removed to stop democrats from voting. While in many states more democrats voted but because of gerrymandering more republicans are elected to state house government. Republicans never stop thinking of more ways to STEAL THE VOTE! In one word they CHEAT!
Wow...Florida is a banana republic 🍌
When in doubt you probably should sit it out bcuz aint no way in the world i world risk going to jail for voting 😂man yall can hve that mess the whole system is a pile of crap smh smh
When I see them ruining somebody’s life over political games I just think he is a sociopath.
First 20 secs he said there are consequences for lying. I wonder if he will say the same about Trump lying about the sensitive documents he stole.
Good work Vice
I call B.S on Florida 🤬
greg walters' segments are superb
Great segment ✌️
So even if you call his office direct as suggested, at best, said citizen will be given nothing more than a legal opinion. THIS is why I left the Republican Party at 30 years old. No person with a conscience could sit here and support the lies and deception coming out of this man’s mouth.
Both parties are broken, look at the lies coming out of the Biden administration too. Where's the accountability for Hunter's crimes?
Yeah, those 20 really made a difference! Totally could have changed the outcome to make Fla, blue. It’s tragically funny.
Totally.
Only 55 crimes? Our Government class has found 68, so far….
it's a stretch to call the US the beacon of democracy
We are. Soon as we elected Trump, all of the western allies exploded into having issues with anti-democratic sentiment and authoritarianism.
“Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”
This is BEYOND WRONG!!! How do we help? I hate this for these people.
Fun fact: the original introducer was about two shirt sizes smaller than the guy in this video. When they recast the role, they saved some money by using the original wardrobe
Vice is the only TH-cam channel I pay for and I'm happy too. I wish you wouldn't do this history channel style camera angles and voice, it's beneath you. I do thank you for the content.
it's free
Lol . How much are u paying ?
DM me I have a few bridges to sell.
Buy 2 get 1 free.
Disney owns vice and you’re paying them?!😂
@@shadyislandchronicles4237 yeah, I’m puzzled by what they’re paying for lol
@@lindseyhendrix2405 They peopably mean that they are signed up for one of those programms where you pay money. Like Patreon, Ko-Fi (YT has a similar programm) or services like that. In this case that monay is directed to Vice.
Sounds like entrapmant to me
For how long will sane people endure the madness of their country?
Not much longer. Soon we bring down the hammer on these ingrates.
I’m really surprised you didn’t bring up the role of profit while discussing media.
Also, speaking of profit motivation, great show but waaaay too many ads. It will make me wary of clicking on your stories in the future
Get an ad blocker mate! I’ve heard that some are able to block TH-cam ads. 🤙🏽
People being arrested for voter fraud when they received the ability to vote again? I’m not a felon or anything of the sort but, this type of sh*t just makes me not want to vote at all and I’m sure others feel the same way.
that's what they WANT you to do. Not Vote. If you really want some change, vote please. These people are manipulating you to not vote and scare you out so they can win majority.
That's what the fascists want.
I like a person that can admit they screwed up and is working to better themselves.
It's sadly a rare trait. But I agree.
☝️Sth u will never get from a narcissist. 💯🚩💯
"Lie" implicates motive. Interesting choice of word for a secretary of state.
Jacob Bonner-
Very to the point.
That officer was being nice, it makes me realize why they turn shitty, they have to, you'd be exhausted from feeling bad each and every day. I am not condoning it, but it's starting to make more sense. We need to change their job, and maybe over time we can deal with this problem.
Man this guy is a worm...they all need to be removed one way or another
This series is quite fantastic. Good work Vice News 👏 💪 👍
the camera angles are slightly annoying. any chance we could just have a straight on shot of the speaker?
One simple question; why does a title a person holds determine their accountability for their actions?
You can tell these cops want nothing to do with this.
Until 45 is imprisoned, you can't blame social media for his & GOP actions.
Enjoy the red wave dems. Biden/Harris will go down in history as traitors and the worst presidents ever. FJB
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 🧂
45 dat man bad
About to be 47 trump 2024
Sure is a lot better having the host turn and talk to the camera when the angle changes rather than random angles while they talk to a void.....thanks for that improvement!
