Why is requiring an ID to vote even debatable?
Who, or why is anyone against voter ID?
I dont understand their mentality when they say voters shouldnt have to show ID.
It makes absolutely no sense to me.
Hell, you need an ID for 90% of the crap you do now.
Whats so hard about proving who the hell you are, and why shouldnt you prove who you are?

As long as the ID is totally free and easily obtainable, I have no problem, but that is not the case, the object of the voter ID laws is to make it as tedious, difficult and expensive as possible, thereby suppressing the vote of the poor, the elderly, and folks with disabilities. You see, thats the problem, the laws are not about voter fraud, they are about voter suppression, you know it, and I know it.

You have always had to provide ID in order to register to vote. I see no reason why the voter ID card should subsequently be inadequate in order to cast a vote. It is quite obvious that all of this voter ID skulduggery on the part of the Republican Party is nothing more than an attempt to limit ballot access to voters who are more likely, statistically speaking, to vote for Democrats.

You may put all of the lipstick that you may desire onto this pig, but it's still pork when all is said and done.

How much should we invest in the rampant problem of having 85 confirmed cases of voter fraud in a national election?

You vote suppressors should take another tack just for practicality. Oh, wait a minute....voter fraud isn't really what you're going after, is it? If it were, you'd recognize that 85 isn't worth changing the system.

Stick with gerrymandering. That works.
